MLB 08: The Show

By Klitz138 About a week later, someone from the Padres organization visited Kevin's house. They sat down with Kevin's mother, girlfriend & agent to discuss the terms of the deal. Kevin informed them that he was not going to college and wanted to head straight play baseball. After some discussions...

By AntonioDaniels Quick question.  For those who've owned both MLB 08 and MLB 09, which game would you say is easier to bat in?  I've read in a lot of different places that MLB 09's batting is pretty difficult.  Haven't really played any baseball video games since MVP Baseball 05, so if MLB 08's easier to bat in, i...

By HuntingtonKill As for Franchise mode its the same old same old. There's been very few changes in the gameplay. I honestly doubt I'd be able to tell the differnce from 08' and 09'.  Ups: Updated Rosters, graphics, gameplay, minor affiliates, fans go for balls :p

 NY Last year’s MLB 08: The Show was a great game, and at the time, it was the best baseball game I’ve played in years. When MLB 09: The Show came around I thought how could they top an already great game, well as impossible as it seems, they did. ...

By PatronSaint First off, I'd like to say the graphics on MLB 09 are awesome...but if feels as if the gameplay is a bit rocky for me. I created an OF and a SP in the road to the show, but my first 8 or 9 games I did horrible, real horrible. I didn't get 1 hit; I either popped up, flew out, hit a weak grounder someplace or K'd....

Of course, my list consists of your usual Gods of War, Tom Clancy shooters, Halos, and Final Fantasy remakes, but one recent addition has been Sony's in-house MLB branded PS3 baseball title. MLB 08: The Show had me thoroughly engrossed for an entire ... Play: A home run New Straits Times

 NJ Granted, to the non purist baseball fan, MLB 08 and 09 are very similar when you aren't looking into the details. For the hardcore fan, the new additions are more than worth the price of admission whether you are utilizing batting practice, ...

By Magilicotti My notes from the AA season of '09: Holy hell they kept me in the Majors. What more is, they have me in the rotation in the third spot. As Spring Training ended, I look at what to apply the attribute points too, and decide to test out a few things. I save my game, and decided to test out the sliders.

By Jrod87 I've downloaded the MLB 09 Demo and love it, everything is so beautiful and the presentation is outstanding but I'm stuck with the pitching mechanics. Is there a tutorial to pitching with how to read the gauge and when to press the "X" button? I get frustrated with the pitch not going where I a...

By pastapadre As a baseball gaming fan it was frustrating to have both games last year struggle with online play. MLB 2K8 offered arguably the worst online play for any sports game this generation and MLB 08 The Show was only slightly better as performance was extremely inconsistent.

By noreply@blogger.com (Bill Harris) A.I. enhancements (CPU fielder routes and reactions to hard-hit balls, 50+ new tag animations, plus a ton of stuff in the pitcher/batter confrontation). The video with this entry is quite good. Training Modes (added to RTTS mode, and something I was particularly hoping for)

The crowd already was pretty damn amazing in MLB 08, but the developers aren't sitting back and churning out another rehash. Oh no, they're steadily working to deliver the single best baseball simulator in history and at this rate...well, it looks like ...

By pastapadre As I covered extensively last year neither MLB 2K8 nor MLB 08: The Show provided a sufficient online experience. 2K8 was arguably the worst online sports title ever while The Show was very inconsistent in its own right.

By shinderhizzle84 I know that batting stance doesn't matter a whole lot in this game--some say it does, others say it's all about user skill and your player's attributes--i believe that batting stance has an incredibly minor role in how well your player performs. But this thread isn't here to argue about whe...
