Yup, I’ll be picking it up. Early birthday present for myself.

Same here. Recession be damned. I just hope that they fix the 15 pitch battles while your player is on base during RTTS.

Me too

except it comes out on my birthday

I thought it was for XBox 360 too.

The 2K series is multiplatform. MLB 09 The Show is made by a Sony internal developer.

Oh, I didn’t know it was a Sony developer. Now it makes sense.

Oh I’m an idiot, I thought this was about MLB 2K9.

Huh, looks like it is. That’s stupid. Still not sure which one I’ll getthough.

By all accounts if you have a choice go with “the show”.

Yeah, that seems to be the way to go.

But Tim will be so disappointed…

I’ve played both 2K9 and The Show ‘09 extensively. One might be the best baseball game I’ve ever played, and one’s…eh, okay.

I wanna get 2k9 just cuz timmys on it

But then doing anything besides looking at the cover would be a bad experience.

Going with the Show.

by kvdp12 on Mar 2, 2009 11:49 AM PST reply actions  

this

my heart tells me buy the cover with Timmy on it, but my brain tells me to buy the better looking game.

by boonitez on Mar 2, 2009 4:19 PM PST up reply actions  

The Show is the better game...

but I have an Xbox. So 2K9 it is for me. I guess I’ll just have to suffer through it…

72-90 - TIMMY FOR CY YOUNG!!!

Adopted Giant: Daryl Maday - The roller coaster ride continues - Augusta to Norwich to San Jose, the latter of which has been a success so far. 1.59 ERA.

No PS3 for me

so I’m stuck with 2K9. Damn exclusivity contracts.

The good news is they’re releasing 2K9 on PC for only 20 bucks, so I may go that route over the 360 version. For now, I’m holding on to my increasingly dated copy of MVP 2005 + mods.

by rightcenterfielder on Mar 2, 2009 1:30 PM PST reply actions  

I’m wondering if the PC version will run decently on my iMac with XP running on VMware. I might buy it if I can find a decent game controller.

I’ve been using this for the past five years or so, and it’s pretty great.

I’m hoping Thrustmasters didnt do the cover art (re: the pop bottle placement)

They say some players get out of bed hitting; Pablo Sandoval doesn't wait that long

Is The Show ‘09 compatible with PSP or PS2? If it is, I’ll probably get a copy of it this weekend.

Adopted Giant: Clayton Tanner (unless someone tells me he's already been adopted)

They have PSP and PS2 versions.

by chilibean_3 on Mar 2, 2009 2:17 PM PST up reply actions  

This is probably what he means, but I’m imagining a disappointed walkoff balitmore chop trying to play the PS3 disc in his PS2 like a clueless mom.

I’m in the No PS3 boat. So I’m settling with 2k9 tomorrow.

If you go to the 2ksports.com site and check out the last few seconds of the video called “Sounds of MLB 2K9Part 2,” you will see a gameplay shot of Lincecum throwing a change-up to get strike three for a no hitter at SBC. And it’s as gorgeous as that sounds.

by kaliber on Mar 2, 2009 8:51 PM PST reply actions  

Gorgeous indeed. Would be even better if Steve Phillips wasn’t doing color commentary though.

Yeah that’s just automatic fail right there.
