Oh I also wanted to ask if japanese hitters will bat more accurately. in 06 and 07 ichiro and others had different batting stances but actually hit like the generic major leaguer. Just asking since in the early gameplay Fukodome had the generic stance, would expect that to be different, but will he lift his leg up and time the pitch, crane style…?

@ Everyone
Thanks for all of the questions and comments – I’ll do my best to answer you all. PSN Demo is coming soon – hang in there and MLB ’08 The Show will be out soon!

@ gardea RE: How Replay Vault is saved
Yes, we save all plays to the hard drive temporarily and then wipe it clean once the game is ended and you as the user go back to Frontend.

@ jeigh RE: Saving Replays on the Vault
We are very excited about the potential for Replay Vault, the saved replays are not permanent, but we hope to add on to this feature in MLB ’09 The Show

@elmetfano RE: Future use of Replay Vault
We are definitely looking into making a Replay Vault highlight reel or the ability to make movies out of your Replay Vault saved replays. These are all ideas for MLB ’09 The Show and we all look forward to your input and ideas.

@TheMissingLink RE: MLB ’08 The Show out soon
I can’t wait either, could use a break, long days and nights right now!

@GOODFELLA
As of now there is no plan to have a patch and be able to save to the Hard drive to make a highlight reel or video section for the user. It is in our plans to hopefully get something like this for MLB ’09 The Show.

@thatd1dnthurt RE: Good to hear from you!
Chris, yeah this would have been good for those long, long HR’s, talk to you later.

@Bdawg35 RE: Screenshots in Replay Vault
Yes, Replay Vault works just like Instant Replay where you can zoom in and out of plays and view them, fast-forward and rewind them. At any point in the game, even the end of the game, you can go in and view your highlights or lowlights. Good luck and Replay Vault will definitely help for your franchise reports.

@shigmasta
We support 1080P, but default to 720 for optimal reasons. Create a batting/pitching stance and windup is something we are looking at for MLB ’09 The Show.

@lynux3
We are looking into being able to save these replays onto the PS3’s HDD and possibly take them online to show off, like your own RV highlight reel or the ability to create movies. Quite a few ideas covering Replay Vault are being floated around here right now looking towards MLB ’09 The Show.

Everyone glad to see the enthusiasm and hope you are as excited about MLB ’08 The Show as we are! Thanks for coming on and hope I could answer all your questions.
-Greg

Hey Greg B.,

Thanks for the awesome update as it’ll come in handy to show off some of my better moments in the game! I have a question. Will you be able to export these from MLB 08 The Show to save onto your PS3’s HDD?

Thanks!

Ok I have two questions.

1. Will this game have 1080p support, or at least 1080i?

2. Is there any type of customizable batting stance/pitching motion feature? I’ve been waiting for a creat a batting stance feature for years…

I meant “when you go into these replays,” not “when you go into these screenshots.”

I love to take screenshots from my games and post them on franchise reports. When you go into these screenshots, do you have the ability to zoom in on a player and freeze the action so you can take a screenshot (I use a digital movie camera like a VCR to do it; others use various capture devices). This would be great for me, because I won’t have to stop and pause while I’m playing to grab a screenshot. I can wait ’til the end of the game to see which plays were the key plays. It should also help me with my reports, because I’ll be able to go back and see what the key plays were rather than writing them down while I play. Yeah, I’m a hopeless geek, but I like it.

Hey Greg – Great stuff coming! Hell, I would have loved to have this back in the day when you could rob a 500 ft. homerun!! Anyway – not sure if you remember me but it is Chris Mitzlaff – I worked with you all a while back. Anyway, don’t know how to get in touch with you but if you want to do some lunch, let me know – I am right down the street from you all – if you get a chance, reply to this and I will find a way to get in touch with you.

@ #4elmetfano
