MLB '09: The Show - Always Room for Improvement

[GoldenGlove]

All of that stuff is cool and all, but I'd rather see improvements and tweaks to gameplay and the online then "the little things".

I'd like to see ball boys down the foul lines though. But I'd really want them to make improvements to the online portion more than anything else.

Only two things need to be improved or added to this game and it will be a perfect 10 out of 10.

1. Make the ball a little more obvious to see when it leaves the bat. This game does a good job of it for ground balls but when you hit home runs, you barely see the ball at all when it comes off the bat. I like to enjoy the flight of a ball when it comes off the bat to know that it's an obvious home run. MVP 05 baseball on XBOX 360 did a good job with this.

2. Can a baseball game FINALLY get a BATTING PRACTICE option. I mean, HELLO, this is a part of Baseball. Can we please get an option for Batting practice with the cage and the whole 9. I haven't seen this in a baseball game with the behind the pitcher view since Hardball on Sega Genesis. Mind you that was 1991! You put those two things in this game and it will be PERFECT!!!

Oh yeah, a wish list. Can you add Single A as well. Hey, just want to keep the game real, that's all.

Thanks

Hey you guys I agree with the weather delay! But I still think that we need the 40-man rosters to start on Auguest 31 and end on the first week of October and reset the the 40-man rosters to the 25-man rosters before the post seasons!

Thanks,

RJ

Also is it me does the ball seem insanely huge when in play. Maybe tone down the size of the ball?

I am really hoping for a new throwing system for 09 in which throwing errors are closely tied to it, so if you decide to take risks you will be punished. In regards with errors, there also needs to be more diversity in this portion of the game. Majority of the errors in the game currently are the over throw and the occasional bobble.

I hope the player's sleeves will appear in dome stadiums like the Metrodome and Tropicana Field.

I aggree.. i was pretty dissapointed with the cut sceens, i had to play 200+ games in franchise mode but when i finally won the world serries i was pretty disspointed with their celebration.. -.- nothing special... no firework.. nothing!!! i also agree with the gear... i wish they would add more gears, and be able to change them during anytime of RTTS... by the way when is this game comming out?

The game needs a true zone hitting system, IMO. or a cursor system Or both and give us an option.
Never a good idea to only have one option.

The show hasnt had what I would call a true zone hitting system since 06, and I wouldn't mind them throwing in cursor hitting as an option. I remember the first 989/SCEA baseball game for the PS2 was MLB 2004 and it had cursor hitting....even though that game was atrocious lol.
