MLB 09 The Show Is Here
Having received my copy of MLB 09 The Show on Saturday afternoon I worked to make sure I could at least get up some videos and a handful of screenshots. Further coverage in the way of impressions, online play thoughts, a deeper look at some features and more videos and screens will come beginning Sunday night. Continue on to see nine screenshots and four different videos in HD. If you have any screenshot or match-up requests feel free to leave them in the comments and I'll pull some of th...

Gametrailers Looks Foolish With New Video
The latest video posted up on Gametrailers features MLB 2K9 and is labeled as though it is just a normal video displaying gameplay footage. It turns out however that the person responsible for it just played it like an ass and posted it anyway. This is a video going out for everyone to see pre-release that doesn't properly represent the game and that is unfortunate. There is a certain amount of respect you should give a game when the opportunity to provide consumers with early looks or in...

MLB 2K9 and 09 The Show Player Comparison Video
I'm really enjoying creating the HD videos so I decided to do something a little different and make one that put MLB 09 The Show and MLB 2K9 right up against each other. This one isn't in full HD since I had to convert it but it still looks pretty good. I took at bats from Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard, and Carl Crawford from the pitching perspective so you can compare graphics and signature stances among other things. Actually an unintended result of the video is displaying one of the probl...

MLB 2K9 Demo Impressions and Videos
I wanted to get up some initial impressions of MLB 2K9 after running through the demo a couple times. By no means is this a definitive assessment of the game, but there are numerous things worth mentioning that I found to be positives as well as dislikes that I have come across already. Overall the reaction to the demo seems to be quite mixed with most everyone recognizing improvement but much of that being overshadowed by discussion of various issues. Continue on to read through my thoug...

Recording HD Gameplay Videos
I recently made the purchase of an HD PVR. From what I had read about it and watched samples of this would provide great quality HD recordings as opposed to the capture card I have been using which did not do HD. I'm excited to be able to produce some HD video content going forward. So I've been experimenting some since hooking it up earlier this week. While everything was easy enough to get going I'm having an issue with the playback of the videos after they are uploaded to hosting sites...

MLB 2K9 X-Play Preview
Yesterday on X-Play there was a hands-on discussion of MLB 2K8 with a couple of the producers. While the interview doesn't offer any information on the game that wasn't previously known it is probably still worth a watch if you are interested in 2K9. I was a little put off by the enthusiasm from Adam Sessler though given not only how X-Play rated MLB 2K8 over MLB 08 The Show last year but also how they had a similar interview with then producer Ben Brinkman that avoided discussion of any ...

Reviewers Get One Right and One Wrong
The first two sports titles of the year have been released in MLB Front Office Manager and 3 on 3 NHL Arcade. Both have been hit hard by reviewers despite their lower prices. In the case of MLB FOM I had some positive hopes for it and initially liked it but a couple major issues have negated all that and with a patch unlikely there isn't much hope of getting much enjoyment out of the game. On the other hand 3 on 3 NHL Arcade delivers exactly what it promised as a light-hearted fun offering b...

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...
