I heard this just came out on the PSN this afternoon (I'm still at work, so I haven't been able to check for myself yet!). Anyone manage to download it yet? Supposedly it's similar to last year's demo, in that you just get a few innings with the World Series teams - in this case, the Phillies & the Rays.

I can't wait - this should help control the cravings until the REAL game comes out next month (March 3rd)!

Just downloaded this, and I am lovin' it! Holy crap, those graphics look AMAZING - it's nice to see a game that's really utilizing the full power of the PS3. The demo is shorter than I'd like - you can't play Franchise or RTTS - but that's probably because those modes are where they're packing in the most new stuff, like 40-man rosters, September callups, create your own chants, etc. Ah well, I'll still take what I can get enjoy it 'til the real thing comes out next month!

EA's NHL franchise and MLB The Show would like a word with you, unless you think games "update" like Madden does

Sorry, but no.

The change from 07 to 08 was big, and now it seems like it might be a bigger jump this time. I'm so pumped for this game haha

Why would they mimimize the screen pitching thing. now its more challenging to throw a good pitch since i can barely see it.?

oh well- the show never disappoints me since 08 release. i cant wait til this game is released.

Its basically MLB 08 with better graphics, alot better animations and refined fielding / pitching. Commentary is mostly unchanged. Its exactly what I wanted as 08 wasnt too far from perfect.

improved pitching, more difficult batting, nice presentation, polished graphics, an even better RTTS (apparently).

pre-orderable.

I dont care about franchise mode in sports games. What was big from 07 to 08 besides the graphics? If anything the PS3 version are really Ps2 ports. No way they can say they built this game from the ground up.

Can you build your own stadium like in Madden?
