We received MLB 09: The Show retail code today and, as a result, I've posted a quick look at the updated Road to the Show mode on the sports blog. If you've got questions about the game, let me know in the comments of the blog or in this thread, and I'll do my best to answer as many as I can. Also I'll be taking screenshot requests so send 'em if you've got 'em.

Hey guys, I put up a post inspired by the news of EA deciding not to release a traditional NASCAR game this year and the possibility of NASCAR going non-exclusive with it's gaming license. Could the economic recession mean an end to exclusive sports license deals altogether?

Check out the post and let me know what you think either in the comments or in this thread.

Following up on the tremendous response to the Legends of WrestleMania roster post from earlier in the week, I posted some hands-on impressions of the game today. In addition to some thoughts on the game, the post has a very special message from "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase that we taped during his visit to our offices on Tuesday. Check it out!

If you've got questions about the game, post them in the blog comments or in this thread and I'll do my best to answer them.

Hey guys,

I just put a new post up on the GS Sports Blog with a bunch of new MLB 2K9 screens and complete team ratings for all the MLB clubs in the game. In addition, we've got three new gameplay movies, showing the first inning from the following games:

St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees

Washington Nationals at Kansas City Royals

Have a good weekend.

Just an FYI guys. I've posted the top ten players at each position on the GS Sports Blog along with their overall ratings and some new screens.

I'll also be taking screenshot requests in the comments of that post if you're interested, but I can't guarantee I'll get all of them done. :P

How often does your infield make dumb errors? That would drive me crazy last year.

How is stealing bases compared to the past year?

Oh and can I have Lance Berkman's and Carlos Lee's rating? Espurs117
My outfielders are making more dumb errors, actually. Especially Milton f'n Bradley. Screw that guy. Haven't successfully stolen a base yet. But then, I haven't tried that often. The mechanic is weird and I can't remember if it's the same as last year. You can lead guys off the bag with the LB but if you want to steal, you have to hold down the LT. You'll feel a rumble when the steal is "enacted" but it seems like it takes too long for my tastes. Find overall player ratings for top ten players at each position here: http://www.gamespot.com/sports/blogs/sports-blog/909097139/26776748/mlb-2k9-top-ten-players-at-each-position-and-screens.html

Does the game freeze and pretends a disc isnt in the drive? Is the presentation on par (smooth) like The Show series? Tjeremiah1988
No freezes for me but this is preview code. Presentation reminds me of NBA 2K9, not surprisingly.
