I may have to give this one a download when I get home later. Has fielding improved since last year? I feel in last year's game players had the worth time changing direction.

It has improved you will really notice it in the outfield. Infield has improved somewhat but still needs a little work to get on par with the outfield. The new throwing meter is great and I like that in the middle of winding up to throw to a base you can decide to throw to another. Ball also seems to travel alot smoother now.

As usual it looks like the ones hating on this game had their mind made up before they ever touched it. Even if these guys did play the demo, it took them 5 minutes to decide they hated it. I spent a lot of time with 2k11 and really liked it, hopefully they step their game up some more and smooth out the rough edges and this can be a great game.

But this demo is quite impressive. The new throw meter works great, and you can queue a throw to once base and decide to throw to a different base. The pitching is great. The hitting is much better with much more variety. The amount of info they have complied using the D-pad for pitching is terrific. I really enjoyed this demo and the game will even better being able to adjust the batting cameras so guys heads aren't cut off.

I agree. Game is fun, and swings look sweet. Very smooth and enjoyable. Huuuuuge upgrade over 2k11 IMHO.
