I haven't bought a baseball video game in years, but now that I have a PS3, I've been reading up on this year's offerings. I wondering which game ThePhins.com gamers will be picking up. Your opinion will influence my decision, as I really want to take some of my Phins buds on in the online arena.
Which baseball game will you be purchasing in 2009?

I might rent 2K9, but I dont know about purchasing. Out of all the sports games baseball seams way too repeatitive for me.

Get the Show Doc.
I hadn't had a baseball game since SNES (Ken Griffey JR's home run derby?), and got the Show last year. It was easily the best baseball game I had ever played, and "the Show" mode was awesome, even if I did play for the Pirates. -
i did but only played 2 innings of The Show. It looks freaking awesome.TheAnswer385 likes this. -
I would definitely go for the Show. It is the best baseball game out there, IMO. Like Stitches said the Show mode is unbelievable.
-
if past 2k9 games are any example, MLB the Show FOR SURE. Baseball fans MUST OWN A PS3... PERIOD.
-
THE SHOW! i cant wait to get it today
-
Ill have to get 2k9 but the show is by far the better game

Thanks, eveybody ... you've made my decision pretty easy. -
The Show hands down. Reserved it.
2K is all flash, no substance. The Show is the most realistic baseball game I've ever played.Big E likes this. -
Whoops I voted for the wrong one. I voted for 2k9 when Im definately buying the show which is the best baseball game out there.

Thanks again. You guys rule.

Early reviews on The Show have been better so far.

The Show... It's not even questionable. I dominated online with this game. It took me a long time to figure out how to hit. Once I learned, I was hitting .350ish (at least). So much fun.
-
I just got The Show in today, it's pretty much the same as last year game play wise but a lot of nice new features like a 40 man roster that expands in September and also lets you play with the 40 man roster in spring training games, for someone that always wanted a 40 man roster its a pretty big deal to me.
I personally like The Show series much better than the MLB 2K series. -
I bought The Show today at 8:15 this morning. What can I say, Sony knows baseball.Stitches likes this. -
The Show. Best baseball game since MVP 05.
-
All this talk has me needing to go buy "The Show"....
...but first I have to finish KillZone, play KillZone online, get tired of COD5 online and finish off my 4th season of dynasty mode in NHL '09.
I need more time to play games. -
I'd love to get the Show ... I got MLB 2K8 last year and hated it.
Unfortunately, I only have a 360 and a Wii, so no baseball for me this year. -
One other thing I wish The Show would do was players on the FA list they give them the dumb blue hats with The Show logo, I just wish they could just use the player's picture from last year with a real MLB cap. I know it's something small but I have OCD with stuff like that. -
The Show is the best baseball game out there. PS3 exclusive too so I'm glad I have a PS3 to go with my 360 else I'd be stuck with 2k's (one of their rare sports misses alongside NHL and ironically both were/are EA strengths).
-
Ok, my mind's made up. Once I get my next paycheck, it's The Show for me.

All the reviews I have seen for this (The Show) are saying it is by far the best MLB game out. Damn it that makes 2 games I cant play because I dont have a PS3:pity:
-
MLB The Show 08 is probably the PS3 game that I've invested the most time in
-

So the show box says it can do 720p/1080i/1080p, but then in-game it says optimized for 720p. It seems to be running at 720p on my ps3, is there any way to make it 1080p, and does it make a difference with this game?
