MLB the Show '09

by ravscloC on Mar 1, 2009 9:12 AM CST

Anyone play this series? I don't own a PS3 (yet), but I'm really thinking about buying one when '09 drops in a couple days. This year's big features are progressive lighting, so you can witness the day progress into night during your evening games. Also included is a sound editor for creating your own intro music for batters, HR music, and intro reliever music.

Right now I'm compiling a few lists of music that I want playing for my Ranger at-bats.

As much as I enjoy talking baseball videogames, I'd have to agree

Considering there’s a thread involving MLB ‘09 literally two posts down, this probably should’ve been a comment in that thread.

I'm a big fan...

of the MLB The Show series. I also don’t have a PS3 and I really doubt this or any game will make me go out and purchase one ’til the price on the damn thing comes down.

I will probably be buying it for the PS2 though like I have the last 4 or 5 years. Hopefully it will have all the same features as the PS3 version, just with limited graphics.

Yep, I'm in the same exact boat

I think I’ve played all The Show’s versions, going back to 2005 before it was called “The Show” (just “MLB 2005” and Vin Scully was one of the voices) and I’ve loved them all.

Problem is, I don’t have a PS3 or the money to get one… so I’ll just hope they keep making PS2 versions until I finally get with the times and upgrade.

I need a ps3.

Ive been spending too much money lately to get one right now though.
Oh well. The mlb2k9 demo wasn’t bad at least. Maybe it will be decent again (2k7 was solid).

p.s. it was recently announced that a sequel to the well liked “the bigs” will come out this year.

the preceding post was a great success.
