MLB 09 The Show Franchise Mode
Just as they did last year SCEA is planning a series of articles on the Playstation Blog that will detail different aspects of MLB 09 The Show. The first posting has just gone up and it focuses on the improvements and additions made to franchise mode. You can read it in full along with some screenshots here. When we set out this year’s plan, one of our goals was to blow out the personnel aspects of the Franchise experience. Starting with the beginning of spring training, the rosters ...

MLB 09 The Show Cover Art
Adding to a heavy couple days of baseball related content, the MLB 09 The Show cover art has now slipped out. Even though we've known that Dustin Pedroia was the cover athlete for a month and now have the actual covers for the game SCEA has yet to confirm it via press release. Expect that to arrive in the near future. This is much later than usual for officially announcing the cover athlete. What do you think of Pedroia getting the cover? He won the AL MVP so it would be difficult to say ...

MLB 09 The Show Halfway to Spectator Mode
Buried in the extended details on the MLB 09 The Show website are a couple mentions related to online play that were not made in the fact sheet. At first glance I thought they were describing the same thing that MLB 08 had in the Gamecast feature where you could watch ongoing games as they updated the situation (score, outs, match-ups, on-base, ect). However there are some new aspects for 09. SportsConnect Live GameCast Using SportsConnect technology, users can view the status of any game ...

New MLB 09 The Show Screenshots
In addition to the earlier post announcing the upcoming MLB 09 The Show community event, a new set of screenshots for the game have been released. They can be found in the screenshot gallery and feature the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets. I'll have a posting within the next week or so to begin taking suggestions on things to look for at the community event. Also make sure to sign up and follow me on Twitter as I'll be doing quick updates throughout the trip....

Upcoming MLB 09 The Show Community Event
The end of the month will bring the first ever community event hosted by SCEA as myself and a select few others head down to San Diego to check out MLB 09 The Show. While the event takes place at a point in development where the game is already complete, this does provide an opportunity not only to collect information and impressions for 09 but also to begin offering invaluable feedback and suggestions to be considered going forward. *Inaugural San Diego Studios “MLB09 The Showâ€...

Padrecast: MLB 09 The Show Fact Sheet
It's the return of the Padrecast! After doing a handful of them last year I wasn't really satisfied with what I was able to offer on my own. The idea though is to have a shorter, more focused discussion that is unedited and just presented as-is. I'm joined by my OS Waiver Wire co-host Chase Becotte in what should be a continuing series of them. It's a change of pace from the normal show we would do. To kick it off we wanted to discuss the MLB 09 The Show fact sheet. We basically just run ...

How Important Is The Custom Chants Feature?
It has become apparent that the mainstream has identified the custom chant creator as the most compelling addition to MLB 09: The Show. Most of the articles relating to the latest info on 09 center around it and focus on that feature in particular. For as much advancement as it looks like The Show will offer, the ability to record custom chants and yells appears as though it is one of the few features that is completely new to the series. In that regard it shouldn't be a surprise that it ...

MLB 09: The Show Full Details
Today SCEA officially announced MLB 09: The Show via press release along with the complete fact sheet. Though much about the game has already been revealed through previews they have summed up the main new features and gone into detail on more. Still to come is confirmation of Dustin Pedroia as the cover athlete which I would've expected that prior to all of this info. Still the only disappointment for me is that is seems the video highlights won't be uploadable which basically negates an...
