You can't adjust fielders during the demo.

The cpu automatically adjust your fielders for you. Play against the Phils and have Howard come to bat with no one on, and then press the start button and look at the lower right hand corner of the screen and it will show you the defensive shift that the outfield is in. For Howard, they do an extreme shift for him to pull.

Okay, thanks Countryboy............I thought I was going nuts, hehe

I've seen the shift on screen for Howard but didn't realize you could see the type of shift being used in the pause menu.

While this is happening the catcher just stands there with the ball looking like an idiot!! I saw this happen a few times in '08....I hope it isn't in the '09 final version!

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Excuse my ignorance here guys because im new to the series and know little about the inner workings of the game.

The only problem im seeing here is the fielding. It seems like when im in the field the game is set to "semi assistance". What I mean by that is when the ball is hit in the air sometimes the game already has my player moving in that direction. Is there a way to turn this off?

Second is there a reason why every single throw is a bullet? Is this a common problem with this series? It's not a huge deal for me because I don't see it effecting the outcome of the games. But at the same time it just seems off.

you can turn fielding to: assist, auto, or off...if you want zero help select off....

as for the bullet throws, this has been a problem for the series...not really a problem, just a minor nusance...I hate it when the fielder is five feet from the guy he's throwing it to and he chucks it at him...

What's the deal with the HR cam? I thought this was fixed for '09 based on the Texieria dinger in the Yankee Stadium video.

I was just playing the demo and hit a walk-off with Utley but it went to the same old HR cam where it showed a close up of Utley as soon as I made contact. Then it showed him cheerfully running the bases and his teammates mobbing him at home - but I never once saw the flight of the ball. I have no idea where it landed, what field it went to or how far it went. This was by far my biggest presentation pet peeve from the last few years, I thought this was fixed. I see there are a few HR cam options in the options menu but does that completely disable HR cutscenes? I don't want to miss out on the zoomed out, great cutscenes like the Texieria one.

Turn off home run celebrations and the no doubter scene will go away for the most part.

And you still get the replay after as well.

It is a replay done in broadcast cam. What will happen is the home run is hit, with home run celebrations off, it will follow the ball and then you usually get a replay after in that broadcast cam.

Good stuff, I will try it out. Too bad I hit a HR once about every 25 innings, LOL. Might be a while before I see it.
