I'm just curious.

What position do people usually choose in Road to the show?

I tried it as a SS, but I stunk up the joint and dove into franchise mode out of sheer embarrassment.

(I got tired of the manager yelling at me)

Anyway with '09 coming out, I thought I'd see what everyone else's experience has been like.

I made a SS in mlb 08 the show. At first it was fun turning double plays and all, but it got pretty boring after a while.

A closing pitcher isn't a bad idea. I liked it. Its a pitcher, and it doesn't take a long time to finish if you're pitching 1-2 innings. But your team must be winning for you to go in...its a give or take situation.

Outfield or starter.

I never really bothered with my reliever because he pitches like twice a month, or he pitches every day for a whole month.

You'd think so. But you never know. There may be a zen to it we don't understand.

Have you guys seen this?

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/01/20/mlb-09-the-show-%E2%80%93-new-and-improved-ai/

I'm glad they're adding more realism.

I may be tempted to try 3rd after watching that video. LOL.

i've played short stop and second base. its fun at bat but sometimes feilding is pretty boring. ive tried pitching and thats proably the best position since your in the game a lot. i wish it was a faster transition from feilding and bating. laoding kind of sucks. still great game though.

Pitching is probably the most "action", but personally, I kind of like playing 1B. Supposedly RTTS is getting a bunch of added features in MLB 09, like improving the lead-off system, which sounds sweet. There was a pretty good article about it over at ESPN's website. I'm looking forward to trying it - March 3rd can't get here fast enough!

starting pitcher is the way to go because you are in complete control of the game for a good 5-7 innings and you only have to play like 25-35 games a season
