It's August 2016 and I own and play a ps4. but I bought a giant bundle of used ps3 games I never played before, included was this game. it is awesome. I love it. I'm still playing it. and I can't imagine what the show 16 on ps4 looks like. for now, I'll stick to my old ps3 and play this show 09 for a few months, because it is that good.
Hi Boondock, I purchased the PS3 system along with the MLB 09! this game is absolutely incredible! I love it. Not as difficult as I thought. Better for it to be tough than solvable in one week! Hahaha!! Thanks again for your input. Great game!
Hi Boondock, Just following up on the game....fantastic! It is pleasantly difficult. I don't mind losing good, close games. But I have won about half of them to this point. I can't get over the graphics and the attention to details. Quite a baseball game for baseball video game fans! A must buy!
buy it...youll have no regrets. if youve ever played a baseball game before and enjoyed it...youll love this game. if youve never played a baseball game...this is a great starter because youll love it. o and it has the best homeruns...because they are realistic. you find yourself trying to guess and execute to get that big shot. its much more rewarding. ill find myself jumping out of my seat on RTTS because its all complicated and you feel a sense of satisfaction. i cant explain it...buy it
Hey Boondock, I have been considering buying the PS3 along with MLB '09, but most reviews that I've read say that its impossible to hit, lots of errors and the pitching meter just isn't accurate. Do you find this to be tru? The game looks incredible, but I don't want to buy a lemon if '09 is full of bugs. What do you think?
Id give you guys tips on RTTS: For a batter, catcher, 1st baseman, and right field are the most powerful hitters dont switch hit, yet, until you have the points to get equal contact and power on both sides, get a hitting streak, then stop at 60 games, then go get another hitting streak then stop it again, and don't waste your points, only add stats in the beginning of the season, i have a first baseman batting switch, batting .407, 231 home runs, 567 rbis, and im only half way done my 5th season
suprised you didnt talk at all about the fact you can put i your own batter walk up music...I've spent hours doing this so fun....or put in your own chants or jeers...for eachplayer.
watch out for that! Separate company but NHL 09 conveniently stopped doing roster updates permanently as of May or so, urging you to get NHL 10. Ridiculous!
I wonder if u can take ejections off in any of the show games so u don't have to b so pissy about ur pitcher getting taken out cause he hits a lot of hitters. I do hit hitters sometimes either by accident or in pure anger & mainly it's anger
Is anyone able to tell me some of the differences between the PS2 MLB 09 and the PS3 MLB 09? I'm considering purchasing the PS3 system, but if the games (the baseball ones) are identical, then I won't do it.
1. thats how baseball usually is, you just have to get good at the game. 2. thats just your fault with pitching with the meter, i believe you can turn it off. personaly i love it
It IS better in alot of little ways and of course is all up to date but I wouldnt say it's really a quantuum leap forward over 08. I personally think it's worth it but depends really how much of a baseball nut you are whether teh little improvementst will really justify it. Personally I'd say get 09 and trade in/flog on ebay your copy of 08 as this is easily the best baseball game out there :)
LMAO u are the very best rewiever EVER!!!! hahahaha u want tanks and flamethrowers in Baseball I was laughing all the time after u talked about the grenade and bioshock :D
yup, that's it. Man i remember when ea dominated all, but those days are long gone this gen. Oh and soccer is now pretty much ea, used to be konami and ea could make a comeback with a good nba street game

Thank you Boondock! I appreciate your input and I believe I'll purchase this today. The game looks fabulous, but I just wanted to get some feedback.
Awesome man. I am thinking about getting this game. But I will hold out for a while.

Right when the Jazz music came on and you began hitting people, I just started laughing through the whole thing!
Mark, do you like causing chaos in every game you play?
woa was the guy about to charge the mound? i have never had that happen before
can someone tell how to call up people from the minors in this game please
LOL! I love the Bioshock reference!!
Thank you Slugo! I appreciate it!
great review you should work for ign!
Great animation here!
Is your pitcher Leela???
hey just a stupid question but can you change the suround sound on the game, like change it to something else?
Id give you guys tips on RTTS:
For a batter, catcher, 1st baseman, and right field are the most powerful hitters
dont switch hit, yet, until you have the points to get equal contact and power on both sides, get a hitting streak, then stop at 60 games, then go get another hitting streak then stop it again, and don't waste your points, only add stats in the beginning of the season, i have a first baseman batting switch, batting .407, 231 home runs, 567 rbis, and im only half way done my 5th season
yup! as long as it has the analog plugs (red, white, yellow)
lol Biscuits...haha that's a funny team name. Never heard of them though...
idk if he hooked it up but my TV is an LG and it can record whatever is playing on the TV i think that's what he has
the ending had me rolling on the floor like a little girl. I may buy this game just to bean people.
the animation is phenominal
is it the only pitching view?
Even the demo is hot for this game! You can play over 9 innings if the score is tied or no runs scored.
suprised you didnt talk at all about the fact you can put i your own batter walk up music...I've spent hours doing this so fun....or put in your own chants or jeers...for eachplayer.
yes
practice alot so u know exactly when to strike and u can make a homerun with almost all players :)
what about a tems of the mlb 09 the shows.
men I think I'm going to get this game :) I was always into baseball :)
This game is the best sports game i have played in the last 4 years. PS this guy owns the shit.
yeah, its good. the only thing really different is the graphics of course. and u cant record your walk up music like on ps3 and psp.
where's the HD option?
from the Simpsons.... where the Springfield Isotopes try to relocate to Albaqurky or however u spell it
im a 360 owner this game looks fantastic
DUSTIN PEDROIA RULES!!! hope u make it to the World Series again xD
watch out for that! Separate company but NHL 09 conveniently stopped doing roster updates permanently as of May or so, urging you to get NHL 10. Ridiculous!

i like the Springfield Isotopes.
where can u import this game to UK?
I love this game, a great Sony Exclusive
du ps3's work on any tv?
how do u know get copyrighted??
I have this for the ps3 and 2k9 for the 360. This is sooooo much better
PS3 games arent region coded mate, you can import the US version and it will run fine, thats what I did!
its hard to play this game any help?

personaly i love it
@ps2dude13 its a minor league team
this game came with my ps3!!
i dont want it tough i was thinking about selling it for like 30 bucks!
alberque is the marlins triple a team

6:42 on just made me cry laughing.
Baseball in the face, that will leave a mark.
I just bought All-Star Baseball 05, has anyone played it? is it any good?
u could make make your own team
no farm teams
I like the Phillies. :D But I downloaded the demo of this. It's much harder to play then the psp games. I dunno. It just is.
He has a 1080p tv but this game only supports 720p.
Albuquerque Isotopes FTW
i think it's sony's ip of sports games, so 360 only gets 2ksports and live games
Lincecum has gotten nothing on my created Pitcher...... Lucky Chavez hes 10-2 right now
why dont u just buy it and see how it is
i just save the ones from online. the rosters are the same as the ones in Mlb online
(and for the record if you have ANY interest in baseball you really should, for a baseball fan this is the best sports game ever I'd say!)
yup, that's it. Man i remember when ea dominated all, but those days are long gone this gen.
Oh and soccer is now pretty much ea, used to be konami
and ea could make a comeback with a good nba street game
6:40
LOL
because people like sports, and if you have poor athletic abilities, then sports video games is the way to go.
I
it's a damm shame that only america get to have a game like that because there are fans in europe and we all US sports title but not mlb 09
The Isotopes are a real farm team
