They have made some drastic changes in direction. I must say its a welcome site. I recommend all of those who have written this game off in the past give it a shot. (myself included, I bought a PS3 just to play a good baseball game)
 
Queued it up. I'm leaning heavily to MLB 09 The Show for next week, but hopefully MLB 2K9 will be much more fun than last years (based on the demo, for me). Besides blu-ray, the only reason I bought the PS3 was for MLB 08 and can't wait for 09. But I will take a serious look at 2k's offering.

yep, only reason I have a (dusty) PS3 is for The Show.

2k has been so horrifically bad for so long that i still don't trust it.
 
Did anyone play the demo of this and 09 the show???

Ive tried both,

Ill just sum up what i thought id point out some key things

MLB2K9
-Easier hitting
-Harder to pitch
-cool pitching view(at the mound instead of at the plate)
-seemed like it was easier to field
MLB 09 the show
-Better graphics (not significantly)
-very easy to pitch
-slightly more difficult to hit
-throwing to bases isnt instant, has that meter

anyone else have anything to add?
