Two Weeks Later...I'm still playing the Show, a lot.
Posted on March 16, 2009 at 02:51 PM.
I must admit, when I gave MLB 09: The Show a 9.5, I kind of figured I'd be playing the game quite a bit (hence the high score). But I'm now over 50 games into my first season, playing every game.

When you take into account I have had to study for midterms and make a move back home for Spring Break...I have had less than ideal time for gaming. So I'm personally shocked that I have played the game this much.

A few things I wished I could've talked about in the review if I had more time with the game (although I must say I stand by my score 100%):

  • It seems like the ball strike ratios are a little heavy on the strikes...after 50-something games.
  • My home run numbers are way down, maybe I still just suck at hitting? But I can't seem to get the ball to fly out of the park like the computer can.
  • The more I pitch, the more I love the pitching system. This is how you make a game that gives you control but one that still plays to your players ratings.
So what do you think? It has been nearly full two weeks after the game has been released, are you liking the game more, less or about the same as the day you bought it?

Color Me Impressed - MLB '09: The Show is a Surefire Hit
Posted on January 21, 2009 at 01:01 PM.
All of the news coming out of the SCEA folks about MLB '09: The Show is nothing short of exciting. The AI fixes mentioned in this blog post at Playstation.com are all much needed but also much anticipated.

When you take into account the franchise mode fixes and additions which have also been announced, you already have a game which is going to be worth the price of entry.

I bought a PS3 just to play The Show this past year after hearing the enormous hype and rave reviews about the game. I guess I'm here to kick in the hype train here at OS into overdrive. I'm not only expecting The Show to be great, I just can't see how it won't be the best sports game of 2009.

So what are your overall expectations for The Show? Is anyone buying a PS3 just to play it this year?
