MLB 09: The Show - impressions thread

What's a fun position to play in RTTS? I was a pitcher last year, played a few seasons, then I got tired of it, and never got around to making a new position. So, what position do you people usually make your guy?

Shortstop is solid. Get a lot of action there.

[Point Blank]

Not a great online experience overall??

It's okay. I guess you'll have to try for yourself.

Just played an exhibition game. Dodgers (me) @ Giants (cpu). I got smoked by Lincecum. He had 15 K's. I had about 9 K's combined using Billingsley, McDonald and Wade.

Hitting is definitely harder this year. I ended up losing 2-0. I can't wait to get some full minors rosters and start playing a franchise.

Those full rosters are going to be sick. Guys at OS are working on them right?

Also, how are the voice files from OS?

SS ftw.

I'm starting RTTS right now. I forgot how in depth CAP is.

Not sure. I didn't even know that people were posting audio files over there.

First game , playing on HOF.

Right right now its 6-5 at the end of 4 innings, I'm (Tigers) leading Twins. I have hit 3 HR's so far, Sheffield, Inge and Guillen. I will obviously have to adjust some sliders, but its playing a good game straight out of the box.

So very nervous. My PS3 is kind of noisy while running The Show.

I suck so fucking bad at hitting in this. rofl.

Sheff hits another one, tied at 7 going into the 7th inning. I think I'm going to have a nail biter.

This game could have been over a long time ago but I keep recording videos LOL


EDIT: Make that 3 HR's by Sheffield.

Power certainly needs to be lowered.

I know man.. me either.. I'm even whiffing on Veteran.

I need to lab this up for awhile before I start my franchise.. otherwise I'll start out 0-14 or something.

[mfbmike]

rofl, I'm already 0-3 as the fucking tigers.

too many strikeouts and stranded runners. I get enough hits, just can't bring em home. :./

[Point Blank]

I've been playing sooooo much better now that I'm more patient. I use to swing at everything and now I'm taking my time. It's working pretty good so far.

I'm up 3(Mets) - 1(A's). Carlos Beltran ftw. I smacked a huge 2 run homer with him. I'll post the video in a little bit.

[mfbmike]

I like the challenge though. Getting on base is so gratifying when I manage to do so. lol.
