MLB 09: The Show evolves with the game

The football season has pretty much wrapped up with only one game left on the schedule; so, what does that mean? Well, it means it's time to turn our attention to America's other national past time, baseball.

Each year The Show demonstrates an uncanny ability to one-up the previous installment in the franchise and build upon a successful formula. This year is shaping up to continue that positive trend for PlayStation owners.

A senior producer for the game has released a new trailer detailing some of the more advanced changes that gamers and fans of the sport can expect to see.

We've included the video below.

    Love this series.   One of my favorite exclusives because it's really been the only baseball game in town.

     I SEE THAT CROWD ANIMATION IS BETTER THAN EA SPORT MLB AND 2K.

    I never liked sports games...ever.....Got 08 the show as a gift.  SUPER-ADDICTED.  I play it over Fallout, COD:WAW, and Resistance 2.  It usually gets at least an hour a night of play.  BEST SPORTS GAME EVER!!!   EVEN OVER MADDEN AND ALL OTHERS!!!

    Long time fan since ps2 days. I look forward to it every year. Best baseball game since Triple Play or MVP. They been slowly adding features and effects I've been waiting for. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for KOD of Homerun derby of some sort. Letting the user select his/her own camera angles online wouldn't hurt either.  I want to also like 2K baseball series but they need to polish it more. What always set MLB the show apart is it's tight gameplay and controls and if 2K can get it together then maybe they would give the show a run for it's money. It's a no brainer I'm buying this March 1 or 3 soon as it hit the streets. Keep up the good job Sony. From a big Baseball Fan.

    This is the reason I purchased a PS3 a few weeks back (o.k. Blu-Ray was the other reason).  This will be a release day purchase.  I'm so mad that I wasted the past few years with my 360 and 2k series.
