I agree 100% with this. And I'd prefer to have it the way it is now rather than everyone being thrown out like they're walking down the line.

For you community guys, are the plays at first the same in the demo as the build you played? Just curious.

Ok, I just got done playing the demo. Played Legend and got smoked 8-0...lol. A couple of things I would like to say that happened to me.....

I was up to bat and hit a slow roller up the 3rd base line foul. The pitcher ran over and watched the ball and didn't pick up the ball until after I ran all the way down the base line....lol. I mean he actually watched the ball for like 3 seconds looking down over it before picking it up.

Another thing is when I was in the field, they hit a sharp line drive to CF and I tried to play the hop. Only problem is when it hit the trajectory of the ball went 2 feet to my right and got passed me. They ended up with a triple.

Then my favorite, I was in the field and there was a man on second with 1 out. There was a sharp hit ball to my 3rd baseman and he jumped up and caught it. Well the guy on 2nd took off then seen me catch it, he then proceded to turn and run back to 2nd. When he turned he fell down, I then threw him out at 2nd. I have never laughed so hard at something in a baseball game before.

Overall the demo impressed me and I am not a very big fan of Baseball games.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention that there was a deep shot down the LF line that my Left Fielder just jogged to....I was so mad! The Ball ended up Fair and he got a double out of it because my Left Fielder didn't run to it and was lazy.

I understand that not everyone is throw out by a mile and the game doesn't take into account a batter being upset and slow footing it down the paths, but I've had Hamels, Kazmir, and Navarro do the same thing. Hard hit balls right at either the SS/3B and the play ends up being almost a bang-bang play. Again, maybe its just me. After all, I'm well on my way to killing a 12-pack of Bud Light right now.

If my boy Benji Molina is doing that then you have complaint.
