Different Gameplay Modes
Play as your favorite team, struggle through the grind of an entire season and try to win the World Series. Instead of shouting your managerial skills at the television, you can steal a base yourself, or pinch-hit with a lefty on your bench. It's all up to you.

In addition to playing a season as your favorite team, the PS2 version of the game also features a GM career mode, which allows you to control four franchises simultaneously. Appease your owners by acquiring players, making trades, and, hopefully, bringing home a World Series Championship.

Rosters Updated for the 2009 Season
The latest rosters are included in the game, so your favorite team will have all its 2009 players, just like in real life. The Inside Edge feature uses six years of scouting data to accurately mimic player tendencies. You'll notice your favorite players reacting to situations in the game just as they would in real life.

Play Online Against Players All Over the World
If you think you're the best, prove it: MLB 2K9 for PS2 lets you play online against players all over the world. Choose your favorite team, even the Pirates, and show that the only reason they haven't won lately is because you weren't at the helm.

New Play by Play and Commentary and New Music
MLB 2K9 brings with it the new broadcast team of Gary Thorne and Steve Phillips. The new team injects depth and insight into the game, and provides another level of realism. In addition, the game also has real-time crowd noise and other sound effects that will have you thinking you're out there in the bleachers.

A new soundtrack features the music of Judas Priest, Cheap Trick, Ted Nugent, Boys Like Girls, and more.

Fun game. Base running is a little tricky. Other than that, I love it.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Major League Baseball 2K9 (Video Game)

I bought this game on amazon because it was cheaper than mlb09 the show. I found out why it was cheaper. The pitching meter does not effect how the pitch reacts...I don't see the point of even having it. Baserunning is dificult and fielding is also strange and awkward. If you are just a casual fan and just want to play an okay baseball game then buy this one, but if you are a fan and actually care about season stats and having realistic stats then buy mlb09 the show, it is a lot better than this game, seriously.

Good luck playing a decent game. This game is so full of glitches and errors, it's rare that you play a decent game. Buy something else.
