MLB 09 The Show Custom Sounds
by 
Even though the demo is out there is still much to learn about MLB 09 The Show as the series of Playstation Blog postings continue. This is the second one they’ve put out this week and focuses on the Custom Chants and Yells feature as well as MLB Music. You can read the entire article which includes some menus screenshots here.
The Custom Chants and Yells feature allows you to record your own voice and hear it in the game, either as a fan yelling from the crowd or as a simulated crowd chant. All you need is a microphone or headset for the PS3 and you can go to town. You can use all sorts of mics such as ones from Rock Band, the PlayStation Eye, and bluetooth headsets, among others. These yells and chants can be added to any player in the Personalize tab, either as cheers or jeers, depending on whether the player is playing at home or away.
This feature was probably the thing that caught the community group by surprise in how well it was implemented. While I’m unsure if I’ll spend much time putting chants/shouts together I can definitely see the appeal in doing so.

Pena is one. Its tough for me to remember exactly all of them, but that was one area we were told had been updated for several players in the last couple weeks.

It is incredible on the amount of content that SCEA is releasing in regards to The Show. Once again, 2K is way behind the 8-ball when it comes to supporting its franchises. After seeing the teaser trailer I was getting a little hyped for 2K9. Now, not so much….

Yeah. SCEA seems to be doing the exact opposite of whatever 2K is doing and has done in the past. I.E.–Releasing info. A demo a MONTH before the retail drops. Producer blogs. Community interaction. 2K's ship is sinking…just a matter of time.

yo pasta, Are there any pre-programmed chants in the game when we get it or when we download the first roster?

MLB 09 the show presents: Midget baseball

Is any of this stuff going to make it to online? Custom Music/Chants? Changing Camera view? Controller Vibration?

Pasta,
Any talks of an early release, like late Feb???
February 7, 2009 at 12:43 pm
there is no reason it should not work if you can talk to peeps on ps3

Also, we need to remember that since this title is exclusive to the PS3, they can release tons of content and have the game running smoothly because it is on a blue-ray disc. Imagine how the game would be if it had the exclusive MLB License. We tend to forget that companies like EA and 2k are at a disadvantage in some regards, because they have been open about the fact that they could add a lot more of content to there games on the PS3, but it wouldnt be fair to the 360 owners.

Hey Pasta, do you think they will add a steroid option for players? You know give them a power boost but if they get caught they get a 40 games suspension. Then it would absolutely be like the MLB. With ALEX RODRIGUEZ (A-ROD) testing positive for steroids I think it's official that more than half of MLB players were juicing.
February 7, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Well Curt, not only did you spell your name wrong but no, there will never be any mention of steroids in an MLB video game.
February 7, 2009 at 9:05 pm
No need, everyone in MLB the show is on steroids anyway, even the umps.

Cmon everyone, all together now……………… A-FRAUD! A-FRAUD! A-FRAUD!
AH, I can here it now. Yankees come to battle my Mets at Citi Field, Santana on the mound and chants of A-FRAUD! resonating from the crowd. Way to go SCEA. Great feature add.
February 8, 2009 at 3:18 am
don't forget the A-ROID chants too
February 8, 2009 at 3:42 am
Although I was never an A-Rod fan, I am disappointed. I was hoping that he would challenge Bonds so we could have a clean home run leader. Yeah, not any longer. I have lost all respect. I don't care if the reports say he has been clean the past five years. He is a cheater….
February 8, 2009 at 5:02 am
I could cry. My day has come. My day, has come.
February 10, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Can't wait to create a "STEROIDS!" chant and apply it to the cheaters.
February 15, 2009 at 2:05 am
any word on if there will be weekly roster updates like last years?
