 in MLB 2K6 and MLB 2K7. That needs fixed and make it more like MVP 2005. 3rd come up with some new broadcasters I love John Miller but hear him and Joe Morgan saying the same thing about a player gets a little old. Why not mix it up a bit with some fresh new broadcasters for MLB 2K9. Also here are additonal changes I want the makers of MLB 2K9 to add 1. Have the real sounds and crowd noise from all the ballparks like the cow belle in Tampa Bay, The Dum guy at progressive field, and the tomahawk chop at turner field just to name a few.
For me, a person with a Wii - the biggest thing is the lack of realism with in game situations. Not kidding, the AI robs three or four home runs a game from me.
The controls are also difficult to get use to.
In terms of game play, I'd love to see some sort of career mode like in MLB: The show; but would probably prefer a better franchise ability. What about being able to form your very own team like in Madden football? That'd be kind of cool.
In my mind no matter how much they add this year...
Today's the first day of class you say 'I am present'.
Boy don't ask no questions, just give me the credit.
You can call me Will Smith cuz ***** 'I am Legend'."
Player Personalities - at least in dynasty mode, players with egos who demand contracts/trades, but also players who have the ability to pull into a higher gear. It brings another element into the game which I believe keeps things a bit more interesting.
Also on the topic of graphics, they were solid, I think the models need to be a bit more crisp and lightning/shadow needs to be better. Also, I think you guys should find a way to make the sleeves more realistic on players. For me anyway it seemed like the sleeves were always just solid tubes and didn't move no matter what the wind was like.
and possibly go into more detail with the draft. its nice if you have the ability to scout a player over an entire season and have a more detailed scouting report rather than just some miniscule ratings. It really helps because like in football/basketball games with all those scouting reports, it really helps to build a bond with the player, so that you would follow their progress through the minor leagues.
a fun and deep dynasty/franchise mode is major WIN WIN amongst fans and reviewing websites. with customizable stadiums, being able to control every aspect or as a lot of the franchise makes you feel like you're actually the owner and it adds replay value to the game.

I’ve reworked a few recipes, have some processes down pat which score well in competitions and therefore I want to see how they do on the national level. Looking at my NHC Gold Medal Winning spreadsheet, I drew inspiration for a classic RIS. The winning recipes in the past few years have had ~80% Maris Otter as the base malt. Roasted grains tended to be a blend of chocolate, roast barley, black and dark crystal malts. To incorporate all of these I added all 5 roast/specialty grains to my grain bill to hopefully develop some complexity. I leaned slightly more on the crystal grains than the roast malts hopefully to stay away from an ashy taste.

But while we're encouraged to spend as much time as possible outside when it's hot and sunny (we need to catch up on some much needed vitamin D!) it's important to protect our skin against the sun's damaging UVA and UVB rays.
Sensitive skincare brand La Roche-Posay recently launched the 'Save Your Skin' campaign in partnership with the Irish Cancer Society to drive awareness for sun smart behaviour.
To celebrate, La Roche-Posay are giving away a family summer skincare hamper worth over €100 of their Anthelios range!
La Roche-Posay sun care range, Anthelios, offers a range of broad-spectrum protection sun care, specifically formulated for sensitive skin, suitable for adults and children.

Shenzhou 16 () is a planned Chinese spaceflight to the Tiangong space station, expected to launch in May 2023 on board a Shenzhou spacecraft. It will carry three People's Liberation Army Astronaut Corps (PLAAC) taikonauts. The mission will be the eleventh crewed and sixteenth flight overall of the Shenzhou program.
Background.
Shenzhou 16 will be the fifth long-duration spaceflight to the Tiangong space station, and will last about six months.
As of December 2022, the spacecraft has completed construction and testing, and is on standby for an emergency rescue mission of the Shenzhou 15 crew. Meanwhile, the Shenzhou 17 and 18 spacecraft are currently being assembled and tested.
Mission.
The flight will launch in May 2023, following the launch of Tianzhou 6 and near the end of the Shenzhou 15 mission. The two crews will perform a handover in space prior to the departure of the Shenzhou 15 crew in May 2023.our guide to the perfect villa holiday in kefalonia
Kefalonia is the largest island of the Ionian Islands, however it is not best known for its size but for its unspoiled beauty, stunning sandy beaches, lush forests, spectacular mountains and for neighbouring with Ithaca, the homeland of one of the most famous myths of Ancient Greece’s culture: Ulysses. Myrtos, considered one of the best beaches in the world with glistening white sands, turquoise waters and surrounding cliffs, is without a doubt the most emblematic image of the island, and is within easy reach of our villas in Fiskardo. The island’s wartime travails were recorded in the novel and film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, which did much to put Kefalonia holidays on the map. From its capital Argostoli, sitting on a large southern bay, to Skala in the south-east and Sami on the east coast, the island’s towns owe their fresh, newly-minted look to the 1953 earthquake. Fiskardo was relatively untouched, and has a little more history. Kefalonia (sometimes also spelled Cephalonia) is a true discovery for anyone searching for a small slice of paradise for their next villa holiday.

Things to do in Kefalonia
Beaches
Our luxury villas in Kefalonia have been handpicked for their superb sea views, impressive private pools and their close proximity to stunning beaches. We have a number of villas in Fiskardo, a beautiful little fishing village with some of the oldest buildings on the island after it was one of the few places to survive the 1953 earthquake. From here you can drive to Myrtos beach located on the northwestern coast of Kefalonia, rumoured to be one of the best beaches in the world. Blue flag beaches are in abundance in Kefalonia, which makes it the perfect destination for family holidays filled with swimming and building sandcastles.

If you are inclined to spend a day away from the comfort of your villa, then taking a boat trip to the Melissani Cave is a must do in Kefalonia - watch
