MLB 09 The Show Demo Video
While the screenshot feature being included in the demo is fantastic I know a lot of people were hoping to see some actual demo footage. I started recording a play-through with plans to post up the whole thing. However the first inning had some dramatic moments and lasted 13 minutes so that should be more than enough to watch in one sitting. I prefer to play with the ball cursor and strike zone off and pitch from the pitcher cam. It comes across pretty well in the video how natural the ga...

With the demo for MLB 09 The Show out tomorrow I thought I'd get another set of screens posted before everyone turns their attention to that. The third and final set will be posted sometime over the weekend. If you missed the first group make sure to check them out here or find them all in the screenshot gallery. This set includes a couple Road to the Show screens of Padre. I didn't spend a lot of time creating him but loved that sunglasses are now an option. Continue on for the screens or fi...

MLB 09 The Show Demo Out Tomorrow
I have received confirmation from SCEA that the PS3 demo for MLB 09 The Show is expected to be out tomorrow February 5th. Generally PSN updates at around 3pm PT. The demo is four innings long and features a rematch of the World Series with the Tampa Bay Rays at the Philadelphia Phillies. As mentioned in my community preview write-ups the demo is based on a month old build but it should be a fair representation of what to expect with the final product. I'll try to get up a few videos of th...
