All I have to say is that I've noticed that Cole Hamels has some pretty filthy stuff as I've been playing the demo... that sweeping curve that he's got is f**king devastating after you first throw a fastball.

^^^ BUMP ^^^

I like the way the bell rings when you hit homers in the Phillies' ballpark... makes me hope there are little things like that for each and every major league field. It'll definitely spark more of my interest for the game, that's for sure.

Whats working for me is working in reverse with Hamels, like in real life. Sometimes start the count with a change or curve and the AB is strong for me (Hamels).

So far I've like batting with Utley and Pedro. Their stances and swings are very smooth for last second swings.

I usually play as the Rays - BJ Upton is awesome :D

Only thing that worries me is that it seems like the game play sliders will need to be adjusted. I prefer realism, so outrageous stats whether it be home runs, strike outs, batting avg, etc dont work for me. In the demo while pitching, I average about 5-6 strikeouts per 4 innings (i've gone as high as 10 Ks in 4 innings) which is way too high.

Little adjustment and it should be fine

I can't wait til this comes out. Kill Zone 2 should hold me over til then tho :)

can't stop playing the demo since i downloaded it off psn.

its strange because i wasnt even going to download it. i was going to be just fine grabbing a roster update for 08 and moving along. im not sure what compelled me to download the 09 demo, but it was a good idea cause i preordered this morning lol.

one of the most pleasing things about 09 is the visuals. imma gameplay guy, but seeing this game in 1080p / hd blew me awayy.

i believe the demo only runs in 720p. My Aquos tells me the resolution it's running and the PS3 starts at 1080p and it changes to 720p when the demo starts

i was a bit disappointed by that, but im not sure it'd matter that much

How do you get this to happen? Everytime I play the demo, I have to be the Phillies... as if by some sort of default setting.

Pause the game, go to controller select and you can switch between the Rays and Phils.

I am able to simply dominate all of the Rays players.....except for Matt Joyce. He's the only Rays player to hit a go ahead homerun on me, one of them a grandslam with two outs. I make sure to throw a fastball at his head every time now.

I played the MLB2K9 demo on my 360 last night for about 10 minutes, before I realized what a piece of crap it is compared to The Show... I'm not a huge fan of the pitching interface in that game, and I don't feel like ranting about MLB2K9's utterly crap-tastic game presentation.

The PS3 version of the MLB2K9 demo should be available on Thursday... but I'll go out on a limb and recommend The Show over that game as it stands right now.

For me, it seems like Evan Longoria is the one guy in that lineup that hurts me... after him, it would probably have to be Carl Crawford.

When it comes to baseball games, any rendition of The Show is going to be so much better than other games out that year. There is just something about it that makes it so, idk, perfect?

Edit: I have MLB07 on my psp, have had it since I believe my senior trip in '06 and have working on my guys career for about 1 year and a half. Simulated from like 07 to 2024 or something so far lol.

I just played a full 9 inning game... Was locked at 1-1 and JP Howell hit two guys in a row and then I singled with Victorino to win the game.
