2009 MLB the Show

[brianga26]

So who all plays the game? Anything that would be cool on the 2010 version?

I am thinking:

Futures Game
All Minor League stadiums
Updated Minor league rosters (they have a Milb license)

Also, anyone hear about EA or anything getting their license back? Triple Play was the crap

I just traded in my copy to Gamestop for Assassins Creed II, Def would love to have the Show with an MILB License and have legit prospects and not the fake players they come up with. Also I think 2K Sports holds the license but, something WBC related would be awesome in the show.

I don't even want to admit the number of hours I've spent playing this game lol

Honestly it's nearly perfect to me - there are a few areas/stats that are slightly skewed when I play, but if I took the time I could probably correct those myself with the sliders.

I guess it would just be minor things to polish it up - some off the top of my head:
-It's always kinda bugged me that my OF's are never charged with errors
-The game looks great, but some of the animations are unpolished - like the catcher running through the wall after catching a foul ball....or the pitching coach changing his race as he walks to the mound (don;t know if everyone gets that mess up lol)
-The career stats are totally messed up for a lot of guys - I'm a numbers person, so I'd love if they were better with that next year....some veterans have no career stats, while I'm pretty sure Tex has A-Rod's numbers - and it's just a mess.
-Change the all-star game venue (I don't think they do right? So they can just rotate it or something)
-Oh.....and a big one I almost forgot - they have to do something so teams do not use a 5 man rotation in the playoffs and don't deviate. It really takes me out of the game and makes it seem like a game and almost unfair as I'm starting my ace in game 1 and the other team is rolling out they're 4th guy when their ace is rested too.

I dunno....those are a few minor things I thought of, don;t know if others agree with any or had those problems. I still play the game to this day and love it. The MILB thing hasn't really bothered me, I downloaded one of the "complete rosters" before I started playing, so someone went through and modified/created most all of the top prospects.

It does rotate venue's I think. (the allstar game). I am the 2010 season (actually completed) and played at the Los Angles Angels of Anaheim, Southern California, United States, Northern Hempisphere, of Planet Earth.

As for the Minor leagues, I usually update my draft picks.. I have Mike Leake (playing with the Reds). Made a few shrude moves. Picked up Heyward, Stanton, D. Fowler.. I usually do the Fantasy draft so I pick up solid Minor leaguers with the roster update on PS 3.. which kicks Arse

EA can't get the license back till 2013 or some time around that

Another thing someone sorta touched base on, I hate that in some of my seasons Jeter retired in 2012 and besides him other big Star players retired in most of my seasons by 2012.

The computer picks over to first base NON STOP. Even when it isn't close.

...I wish they would make this for Wii ... it's all I have, and I don't play enough to buy another system.

2k kinda sucks on wii, it doesn't translate very well.

ah well, back to pro evolution soccer....

That's cool on the All-Star game then, I must have not been paying attention on that.

And yeah in my "Road to the Show" a lot of players did seem to retire early. I think Pujols was gone a couple seasons in, and Lester is gone from the Red Sox, but Beckett is still pitching like 8 years later. I guess the one good thing I noticed though is that it seems to be pretty random which keeps it interesting....where as J.D. Drew retired at like age 34 or whatever in my franchise, yet in my RTTS it's 2017 and he's still on the Red Sox and playing for Pawtucket. :lol:

One more thing I thought of - Would be nice to see the CPU teams make some more trades. It doesn't have to get ridiculous, but it's kind of weird since they have all the players on the block and then the trade deadline passes with 0 trades.
