i hope in mlb 10 you programmers lighten up on the diffaculty on road to the show cause this is rediculis come on man it makes the game not even fun to play in 09 i have 08 and have played it since it came out in 09 you guess the right pitch right location swing perfect and you get a little dribbler to the mound come on at least a base hit

This game has great graphics. But it is very hard. The ballparks look so real. I love the mascots too. See ya in 2010!

Overall....Best Baseball Game Out There (Continued...)

by CowboyScott1986 Dec 21, 2009, 3:28 AM PST

continue of Review that was cut off.....................

(THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN FUTURE GAMES)

5. Maybe some fireworks for the homeruns...instead of only showing them on the outfield scoarboard.

6. Custom sounds for each ballclub....for example with the indians....when the game is close and tense...and the home team is up to bat....usually you hear the drums beating in the background.

7. Better commentery...after awhile it just gets old hearing the same stuff over and over. have them talking about different stuff, like special events happening, or upcoming games, player statistics, etc. something.

8. Pre-Game and Post Game Shows

9. Create a Ballpark.

10. Create a Team.

11. Instant replay

12. Managers arguing with the umps....and more ejections.

13. Bullpen Pitchers sitting on the bench in the bullpen when the game is in progress...looks kind of odd when you look out to the outfield and there is no player in sight. Than when you bring another pitcher in...gradually decrease the number of players sitting in the bullpen.

14. When the weather is cold....maybe have the players on the bench in the dugout who arn't playing wear coats or hoodies.

15. Real Name-Brand logos for the stadium like Pepsi, etc.

16. Another thing I think would be interesting...is when want to talk to the pitcher on the mound....instead of just having the pitching coach go out....maybe u could have the option to send out the catcher instead...also with this feature...have a selection of things to discuss....whatever you choose should effect the pitchers confidence level. As the feature is now....it seems when you send the coach/catcher out to talk with the pitcher to calm him down...it doesn't really have any effect....more or less just for show.

17. Faster load times.

18. As for features to the uni's....how about an option to have a a curved brim, straight brim, or have your hat cocked to the side like CC Sebathia.

Well, I think I've said enough...overall it's a really good game. Hopefully for MLB 10 most of the bugs and gliches will be worked out. But we'll see.

Best Sports Game as of Now

by PhightinPhils13 Dec 15, 2009, 7:20 PM PST

This game is awesome. Besides some technical difficulties with online mode, this game destroys 2k9 in almost every aspect. Can't wait for MLB 10: The Show!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terrible AI Outfielders

by j2theoooos Dec 15, 2009, 7:42 AM PST

Maybe in MLB 10 we make it so that when you're a pitcher in RTTS, the fielders playing behind you are maybe, I don't know, aware of the game situation around them? Actually attempt throws to get guys out when they tag up? Not throw to the cut off men that are no more than 20 feet away from them when there could be a play at the plate? Seriously, it's so frustrating to watch my defense cost me outs and runs.
