I don't know.. I watched a lot of Cardinals games last year and I remember always talking to my dad about how pissed it makes me that nobody has patience anymore at the plate.

When the pitcher throws a strike it seems like 99% of the time the computer has swung. This is the first video where I saw the CPU take a strike and it was only once(i think). It's been a big complaint amongst the videos...but the CPU will take balls it seems like.

Haha. It could be a generational thing, I suppose, in which case they nailed it.

On the positive side, I love the look of the game minus those terrible pitching meter layovers. It's very clean and broadcast-like.

Re: OS Pirates V Rockies Video up in video section

Minor quibbles (probably stuff that will be fixed in the final):

- Stewart looking like he's disgusted after the final out. Or maybe relieved, I dunno. Either way, kinda goofy looking with that final score.

- His HR ball clipping back through the wall after landing in the stands. Oops.

Other than that, I love it. Didn't really have a problem with the swinging, at least the CPU showed it can take a pitch.

Re: OS Pirates V Rockies Video up in video section

Has there ever been a bigger one year leap for a video game. This really looks like something special. The announcing is top notch. Way better than last years without a doubt. The crowd sounds and the music in between plays really immerses you into the game. Great animations reactions from the players and coaches. Love the high 5 at the end of game. I can't wait.
