After three years of playing MLB The Show RTTS, I’ve finally broken a record in Hall of Fame mode. I really wasn’t even trying to break the record until the last week of the season. Watch the video below and hear Matt Vasgersian call the shot.

After having the game for a month I was finally called up (RTTS mode) and got my first major league hit playing on Legend mode. At 22, I certainly don’t belong in the major leagues (career .179 hitter) but thanks to the Rule 5 draft I was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals. Under the Rule 5 draft it states:
“If the new team does not want to keep the player on its 25-man roster for the season, he must be offered back to the team of which he was a member when chosen in the draft.”
I probably would have preferred to stay in the minor leagues (with the Giants) but I seem to be performing better at the MLB level than I did in AA. In my opinion, AA even seems to be more difficult than AAA. Maybe the reason for this is that I tended to chase too many balls out of the strike zone in AA. Anyways, I already got my first major league hit – a line drive over the second baseman. The ball actually tipped the second baseman’s glove. I was luckily able to stretch a single into a double. Take a look:
Here’s a video of my first major league home run. I hit a ball high off the foul pole at PNC Park:
Update on “10 useful MLB 09 The Show hitting tips”
Playing on Legend mode has been quite a challenge. Earlier last month I posted 10 useful MLB 09 The Show hitting tips. Moving the left stick up in the zone and wiggling the stick hasn’t really helped much. I do need to be more patient at the plate!
Additional MLB 09 The Show hitting tips
1. In the forums, some players have mentioned that they have been turning on the plate coverage indicator (PCI). This indicator (yellow oval) displays a visible area for the batter as a guideline when aiming the left stick. Using the plate coverage indicator seems to help a little bit. I believe I still need to work on my plate disipline in order to take advantage of this option, though.
2. We own a 50″ 1080i Panasonic Plasma television. I originally had my PS3 set for 1080i resolution. But, MLB 09 the show is optimized for 720p video mode according to the message that appears on the game loading screen. I just recently changed to 720p mode on my PS3 and have noticed a small improvement in my hitting. I definitely seem to be making better contact on the ball.

One of the new features added to MLB 09 The Show is the ability to record and store your replays to your PS3 hard drive. This also provides the ability to record the same play multiple times from different camera angles. Here’s how to combine all replays into one and add music to create a movie:
Step 1: Using Riva FLV Encoder
Replays from MLB 09 The Show are stored in MP4 format. Riva FLV Encoder can be used to convert from MP4 to FLV.
I used GSpot to determine the recommended display size: 640 x 368. In Riva FLV Encoder change the Movie Size to 640 x 368 and the Frame rate to 29.97. Uncheck the “Enable Audio” check box. Click Encode.
Step 2: Moyea FLV Editor Lite Beta
Use Moyea FLV Editor Lite Beta to edit, combine, and add music to your FLV files. The Moyea FLV Editor is very straight forward. You just import your FLV files, add them to the time line, trim the video length, and add an MP3 file. That’s it. Your FLV file is ready!
