played two games this am. Its amazing how much this game has improved this year! Very smoth controls and framerate. graphics boosted. Love the new crowd and reactions. Big thumb up here!
Please excuse my laziness for not reading 20-plus pages if I'm repeating anything already mentioned.
First, the defense seems to be on super assist. Not sure if this is an attempt to overcompensate for last year's numerous problems or not.
For instance, opposing runner on third with two outs. Grounder to first, but I trigger the throw home wanting to see the plate collisions animation. The throw was made to first anyway. I clearly triggered the throw home. Even in the outfield, the fielders seem sort of "out of my hands" with flyballs. There will likely be a slider or option for this, hopefully.
Also, the graphics are dreadful during live play. Fielders are indistinguishable from one another because of the camera distance, causing a last-generation look. Again, hopefully adjustable in the retail release.
I liked how the stadium had a different look at night. Pulled of much better than 2K9. Plus, the batter camera angle was a pleasant surprise. Though I've had a fair share of yearly swings, I'm sure adjsuting to that will be simple.
One final thought. I'm hoping there is better collision detection in regards to homeruns in the retail version. The collision detection seems to be in place on foul balls, but not homeruns (at least from my experience). Wasn't this an issue two releases ago? Seeing a ball fly through a wall really kills any hopes of achieving realism.

Oh, one other note. Know its nitpicking, but the jumbotron overall is just killing me. Two releases in a row with career stats and huge amounts of empty space surrounding the overall? Would seem easy enough to change, but with all the other issues 2K seems to have addressed, I guess I'll have to deal with it.

has anyone hit a ball to the fence yet? 13 games in, not one double in the gap. not a single ball that went all the way down the line.

Played my first game just a few minutes ago after learning creating a new xbox account gives you a 1 month free gold trial. Had a blast with the game. If anyone would've seen my first attempt at a power swing with A-Rod I think they would've died laughing, I was at least 2 seconds early on the swing. Bastardo fooled me with a changeup. I also broke up a double play, which was an awesome thing to see after not having them at all last year. Grounded out to first on a defensive swing with Jeter, nice to see they're not just foul balls. Overall I really liked what I saw.
Your internet sounds similar to how mine used to be, only mine took at least 3 hours to download if not more for a demo. Luckily we switched internet companies and now mine only takes 15-20 minutes to download.

After playing the demo, it is amazing to see just how much the developers were able to improve from the last iteration. The graphical improvements are VERY noticeable and the animations and frame rate overall are quite surprisingly superb. I LOVE the pitching and fielding mechanic, and I'm starting to get a feel for the hitting mechanic as well (although the demo difficulty setting is too low so its a bit too easy to hit). I can't imagine how much more improved the final build will be. I'm very much considering purchasing this game.
I like hearing the positive impressions. I haven't gotten to play the demo yet, but it sounds like this game is the game that gets 2k back on track. I can't imagine what 2k11 will be like.

Just played two quick games:
Best new thing:
- Batting is awesome. I like the camera view alot actually, and the CPU pitcher actually throws balls and works the count. Its awesome as heck. Seriously.
What I liked:
- Pitching was great, but I hate the angle they give in the demo. I much prefer the one shown in the Gameplay vid from Gameinformer.
- Hitting, as stated previously.
- Fielding in the OF is much, much better.
- Game looks very good. Not amazing, but good.
What I was kindy iffy about:
- Infielder animations are wonky/weird from time to time. Not a big deal, but some animations of "field groundball throw to first" look pretty bad.
I didnt have any issues with guys not hitting balls in the gaps or anything like that. In fact, I hit a homerun with Tex in my 2nd game (with a contact swing!), it was a fastball up in the zone so I think that helped
Also, allowing different pitchers for each team is awesome awesome awesome.
Ill be buying this. Hopefully the Manager AI is good.

Unfortunately, it was a lot of things a three-inning demo can't show (broken Franchise mode, freezing, stat inaccuracies/glitches, AI coaching/pitching change issues, etc.) that cost 2K my business last season. Here's hoping they got that stuff right as well.
Any thoughts on baserunning? One of my biggest beefs last year was having one of my baserunners start retreating on base hits instead of breaking toward the next base on contact.

This game seems to be leaps and bounds ahead of 2k9, I really like the hitting view from the videos I've seen, its similar to the view I use on the other game. For those of you playing the demo, does the ball seem to get to the plate faster, I remeber it was so slow in 2k9, and the depth perception was way off in 2k9, it seems like the ball is actually coming to you in this game. It looks great, I like the "wet dirt" effect on the infield and it seems to feel like your actually in the ball park. Nice job 2k, heres to hoping the ps3 version isnt far away from this!
