Road to the Show career recaps

Gamespot has posted up the beginnings of two Road to the Show careers from MLB 08: The Show. One covers a positional player (shortstop) and the other a starting pitcher. You can read up on them here.

That got me to thinking about what position Pasta Padre should take on. Once I get ahold of the game, as has been done with Campus Legend and Superstar modes, I’ll be covering the career of Padre through RTTS with updates on the site which will include videos and screenshots.

What position would you like to see Padre play? Leave your thoughts in the comments and then I’ll take the most requested ones and create a poll closer to when the game is set to arrive.

I think it would be good as a relief pitcher because there will be some pressure moments.

Any OF position to see what the perspective is on fly balls….Judging fly balls can be difficult in reality.

I would like to know what it is like to judge fly balls in the Metrodome….

What team you thinking about signing with? Here are my top five:

1) Twins
2) Orioles
3) Athletics
4) Mariners
5) Tigers (just to see how difficult it would be to make it to the majors with a loaded roster)

Does anyone know if there will be classic jerseys in The Show?

I hate Toronto’s uniforms. How in the world can a team called the Blue Jays have a primary color of black?? Toronto’s original uniforms were the best….

I’m not too worried about what team to sign with, part of the decision will probably be made on what position is played so that I’m not playing behind superstars that I’ll never get an opportunity because of. Plus its just going to take time in the minors before ever even hitting the big leagues so I’m not sure what team I’ll go with (other than a few that I will avoid at all costs).

I think you should go with an offensive player. Not a pitcher (unless you were a closer). The games would take way too long for you to complete.

Catcher or 3B would be my picks.

Yeah considering I want to recap a chunk of time at once and show video highlights that pretty much eliminates being a SP.

I didn’t do RTTS as a catcher in 07. Do you call the entire game and catch every pitch?

I’m not sure. I would hope not. Actually I think I did play it last year and all I had to do was throw out base runners and catch pop ups to the catcher.

Sure you only play every fifth game but every fifth game would still take forever to complete.

I was actually just thinking about that, and it probably wouldn’t take as long as you think because it’ll skip when your team is batting (except in cases where your pitcher bats). It would still be more time consuming though per game.

I would need to see your body type. You should go behind the dish and catch.

You should go with 2nd base, should be exciting, you might even become a National since their inner in-field blows.
