MLB 08 has been unanimously voted one of the best baseball games ever made, and Sony is committed to making MLB 09 even better. In addition to the usual features and modes (Franchise, Road to the Show, etc.), Sony has added new game modes and features that will make your game experience more exciting and longer. Players will also see that the level of detail in all the markings in the stadium has increased; stadium pavement wear, lighting transitions, JumboTron animation - all this has been significantly improved. "The MLB franchise has been recognized as an industry leader in terms of realism and overall gameplay, and we're naturally keen to stay on the wave by taking the game to an even higher level at MLB 09 The Show," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice -President of Marketing SCEA.
