Played 2 games.
1st game I mixed up pitches and lost 2-0. (Joba vs Bastardo (me)
2nd game I threw only fastballs down the middle and tied 0-0 (Joba vs Bastardo(me) - Throwing nothing but fastballs and getting 1-2-3 innings the fist two, then 1 hit in the 3rd concerns me. Especially with a lower pitcher vs the Yankees.
Both games despite no hits Swisher was player of the game.
Looks alot nicer than last year though.

After playing a game of the Demo, here's my quick pros/cons:
Pros
Cons
Overall I'm Impressed With The Demo, and have high hopes for this year's Installment of the Franchise. The Cons aren't frequent enough to be gamebreakers to me and I would be some peope wouldn't even notice them.
Pros
- Lighting Looks Improved from 2k9 Demo
- Player Faces/Models Look Good IMO
- Pitching While Taking Time To Get Used To Can Be Fun
Cons
- Bat Sounds Seem Like Mixed Bag
- Players Sometimes Slide Into Position To Make Catch On Double Plays/Throws To First
- Wall Collision Detection Seems Off A Bit

Players are taking strikes and swinging at pitches off the plate (players with high strike out totals). Good to see that . . .

Well, ran into major glitch on the first pitch. Rollins hits a line drive to the left field wall and the ball gets stuck under the wall. Both the LF and CF go crazy running back and forth until Rollins comes all the way around for an inside-the-park HR. The fielders still didn't get to the ball. So, yeah...collision detection might need some work.

It doesn't have a check swing out over the plate. If you swing early, you'll be hit by a fooled animation. The check swing I was referring to was stepping in, but I noticed it wasn't registering my swing. So, no, you can't swing then check it (making sure your bat doesn't cross the plate).
This is on classic and total control.
In four games I haven't had a ball hit to the wall yet, or any double plays.
Twice I won with the Yankees and Swisher was player of the game. Even though he did nothing. Not a gamebreaker though.

Grand slam by Jayson Werth. Crowd animation in which they fight for the ball needs to last until the ball hits the stands. Obviously, need to look up for the ball too. Just a nitpick. Also, notice the WPA stat. Nice.

As someone already mentioned. We may just have ourselves a game of baseball.. 
Since many have talked about Pitching & Hitting I will talk about Fielding. Specifically Outfielders. It looks like they totally re-did the outfield play. I noticed OF taking different paths to the ball. I saw them running towards hits with their gloves on the ground like they were ready to gun someone out trying to take that extra base. I saw head-tracking.
They even allow for you once in the circle area of a fly ball to let the catch animation take over so you can pre-load your throw if you need to. IMO it's been very nicely done
I'm really liking the different camera angles being used on replays, especially on strike-outs. It really allows you to see the pitch & how it moved.
Both Hitting & Pitching seemed to better. I only played 2 games. The Gesture seems very sensitive which isn't a bad thing. I did like that when I did miss a gesture it wasn't an automatic MEATBALL. The pitches varied in the zone.
Graphically this game looks nothing like 2k9 & may be the best this series has ever had. Uniforms look great. The new cloth physics animate nicely. The lighting look fantastic. In 1 of my games you could see the clouds moving across the field.
I'm pretty sure this thread will be fun to read during work. Gotta go...

played one game and there was 7 homeruns total 3 by me.
Everything seems to fast like when you hit a ball to the infield its like you dont even have control/ ball is hit next thing u know your fielder has it and you make the throw to first lol
Swing animations look ugly to me as well when you miss. There quick and jerky. Maybe the other baseball game spoiled me but this is in no way a buy for me
One thing i liked was when u hit homerun the camera follows you around all the bases kinda cool

Anyone else play a night game yet? Nice lighting progression from 1st to 3rd inning. (Looks accurate as it gets darker as the innings go on).
Maybe I'm losing my eyesight (it is late) but I swear I just saw some debris fly behind Cano while I was hitting with Francisco.
EDIT: Just noticed it was the bullpen. LoL. A bit far though for me to see the ball from here. Funny . . .

Liking that the demo allows for different Pitchers. I just started it up again to record a quick video and noticed that Andy Pettite was on the mound this time.
Nice Touch and way to keep it fresh!

Pitching is lovely. Can't get enough of it. I know it's a low difficulty level, but it's just too much fun. Getting a batter 1-2. Throwing a 12-6. Oh man . . .
