MLB 09: The Show - impressions thread

[Bomberooski]

I'll try an online game in a bit, if there's an unranked option.

I don't plan on playing a ton online (unless the leagues work out) but it'd be nice to know that it was a workable option.

[Bomberooski]

I'm starting with franchise mode..RTTS was cool, but Franchise is where it's at for me.

Do you play all the games?

I'm going to hop on my other username so I can try a ranked game. No one accepting my unrank challenges..lol.

Just tried online. There was lag, not extremely bad but it fucked with my bat timing a little bit. The guy I was playing against had no problems hitting the ball though, haha.

I have a question, How come I wasn't allowed to do the pitching meter every pitch? I could see that my opponent was doing it every pitch but not for me. I would select a pitch and he would throw it after I aimed...:dontknow: I think I had this problem last year too.

Could be guess pitch?

[Bomberooski]

Could be guess pitch?

Yeah if he guesses the pitch then you get no meter.

Also, when you log on to sportsconnect what is the password they ask you to put in?

[Point Blank]

When he guess pitch period...or if he guesses right?

[HustlinOwl]

Right and location

[Point Blank]

Hmmm, I'm going to have to try again later.

Not a great online experience overall??

[Maynard]

Are the majority of people going with RTTS or Franchise to start?
