Hey everybody. My name is Eddy Cramm (Senior Designer), and it's my turn to bring you MLB 09 The Show blog #3…or #4…maybe #5. Not really sure which one we are on. Bear with me, we are all working some long hours right now getting this game polished and out the door!

Trophy support was added in a PS3 firmware update (2.40) in July 2008 and since the start of 2009 they have been compulsory in all full length PS3 releases. Whilst some players are driven by the thought of hoarding trophies, others are content to use them as a way of tracking accomplishments on a bronze, silver, gold and platinum scale.
On many occasions, even after beating the last boss in a game you might have only acquired a mere 10% of the trophies.
Most games are designed to be challenging but there there are a few that really standout when it comes to nabbing those elusive platinum trophies.
If you want your monies worth from a game and its platinum reward, you might want to take a look at ...
Some had problems with the challenges, so I guess it's a bit individual what people struggle with.
I find trophies that make you finish games in a certain time period highly annoying. Take GTA IV for example, who are going to complete it twice just for a trophy...
They forgot battlfield bad company 1, i have 36 days (864 hours)of playing time and yet to get it
My vote goes to warhawk or Disgaea3 for the simple fact you have to grind so much in both of those games.
I got the Killzone 2 plat. It would be about a 1000 times easier if it weren't for Radec on the hardest difficulty (well not radec but his waves of minions...I still have nightmares about that level. I think I calculated by my deaths before and after that it took me about 200-250 trys to beat the last level on the hardest difficulty and only around 50 for the rest of the game..on all modes) And the online rank trophy. How did GG think that was a good idea?
Also the R2 isn't very hard. Most people just complain about the 10k kills one cause they don't like grinding trophies. I will admit that it is the only trophy I am short (3.5k to go lol) but its only because none of my friends ever played online so I stop playing relatively soon
You got skills. I only have 37% of them and I have about...15 days worth of online play(16k kills and 14k deaths)
Are worthless!
unless you're just a show-off or think you're cool by getting them,it gives no good reason to get them!
they should have made this worthwhile...I mean like having extra weapons or infinite lives or stuff like that as a trophy bonus...not just : KILLER TROPHY ...ok what can I do with this;KILLER TROPHY ?
nothing;
and the same goes to XBOX achievements !
games in themselves are pretty worthless! What do you get in real life for finishing a game on hard?
PlayStation LifeStyle: "A common stereotype about gamers is their short attention span. As announcements for new games and hardware come and go it is easy to lose sight of the momentous events that shaped the gaming world. This Week in PlayStation highlights Sony's rich video game heritage which dates back into the 1980's.
Step back in time with us as we put the spotlight on events big and small that have significantly altered the gaming culture."
Yeah, staring at a screen for 5 hours straight is the mark of a poor attention span!
Who writes this crap???
@ DaTruth
Yes a screen that is constantly changing images so much so that each game has an epileptic seizure warning. Or in other words, optimized for an attention deficit audience.
Hard to believe only ten years ago we were just barely coming into the PlayStation 2 era...I was also only 11 years old HAH!
TechLand: This post was supposed to be about MAG, the ambitiously-huge 256-player first-person shooter that came out today. But after watching the commercial for it, I realized I first needed to give props to the sardonic genius known as Kevin Butler. Generally, he's the spokesperson you see in all of the PlayStation 3 commercials.
after he got owned in the first ad, no wonder they are giving his FPS position away..
jk :)
We all wuvs you Kevin Butler :)
learn from the PROS, its MLB 09: THE SHOW! Added to must-by list. When KZ2 servers are down or when i have friends over, i will play you.
Going to be the best baseball game ever made.
