Since the community preview event I have gotten many questions regarding how the screenshots were taken. This is a built-in feature of the PS3 tying in with MLB 09 The Show and the demo also includes it. So here is how the screens are taken along with a few I pulled out this evening.

Use the replay feature to position the screenshot you would like to take. Everything on the screen will be captured so be sure to hide the replay option bar and get the selection circle out of view. Pull up the XMB and scroll over to to the Photo section. There will now be a “Save Screenshot” option there. Click on that and it’ll take you back to the game where you can now hit X and capture the screen. Under the Photo section there will now be a folder with your saved images. Then use a flash drive to get the images from your PS3 to your computer by scrolling onto them, hitting the triangle, and choosing to copy.

One of the screens I took out at the community event that was especially well liked is the one that came directly from gameplay pitcher cam with ARod getting rung up. During single-player pulling up the XMB freezes the action which is how I was able to grab that one. However cut scenes do not pause so you can have the screenshot feature up and ready but you’ll have to snap it as the action goes by.

Feel free to post links to some of the screens you have taken from the demo and I may post them up in a future article.

    Man, if the real game is anything like the demo…BEST GAME EVER!!!!! Screw MVP Baseball 2005, screw NCAA 07 for the PS2, and screw Madden 92 on Sega Genesis. The only annoying thing on this game are the people walking up and down the steps, they walk all the way down and walk right back up. They can't take a seat?!?!?!?!

    I've played a few games of the demo, and I can say that if I didn't own MLB 08 I would definitely be purchasing the 09 incarnation. The lighting and new animations are fantastic looking, but playing the demo I still get the feeling that I am playing last years game. Don't get me wrong, I thought MLB 08 was phenomenal and still love the game, but I guess that is my main point. Unless I hear and/or see that there is some more depth/variation to the franchise mode, I can't see myself plunking down another $60 for this game because basically all I would be getting this year for that money is some new animations/features (adding your own sounds to the game sounds cool and all, but I don't see myself using it all that much), a new roster pack and some new things in Road to the Show (which I still play now, and am pretty happy with last year's edition). Last year I was very hyped for this game, as I did not own a baseball game for my PS3, but I will wait and see how the changes are this year (especially with the on-line play).

      Don't be cheap man, there are noticeable differences not to mention the two new NY stadiums and updated rosters should be enough for you to cough up the 60 bucks.

        Nothing to do with being cheap, more of a cost/benefit situation. When you're married and have a couple of teenagers, you'll understand. As the Stones (they're a rock and/or roll band that started in the 60's) said, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you'll find, you get what you need".

    Pasta,
    I seemed to notice that my outfielders would run right past a ball the first time they came up to it. Is it just me or did you notice anything like that, and is this something that you noticed when you played the final build?

    I did that last year..bought a ps3 just for the show cause 2k makes garbage…then I sold the PS3 cause well…The Show got boring. Somethin about its simplicity bores me. It just feels like the same thing over and over and over. I know its baseball…Ive been playin ball games since RBI so its not the nature of the game. Im still stuck on the MVP 2005 train. But to me, The Show just gets boring. But if 2k is as bad as last years game…then who knows whatll happen.
