Thanks man I appreciate the quick response.

It usually helps to extend your initial lead before you steal as well. If you do it too early the cpu pitcher will try and pick you off. Extend your lead right as the pitcher lifts his leg to throw the pitch. The press the L1 button and he's off to the races. I was terrible at baserunner before I started practicing on this demo. I've had great success swiping bags thus far.

It is how is it in real life. Guys that have that kind of stance have a small strike zone. Some times the Ump still go outside of the strike zones for guys with stances like that though.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

yeah i understand it depends on height of player (DLEE has to have had one of the biggest strike zones in 08)
but the square doesnt even go up to jrolls belly in 09!

i just played a 10-inning game on this demo. took me awhile to get the hitting down so i got a run then the Phils hit a HR. i could not find any way to change my pitcher so Kaz went the whole 10 innings, 117 pitches for the 5-2 win while they put in 3 pitchers and 2 pinch hitters. gonna take me a bit to get this new hitting-timing down.

the game looks amazing and the only thing i noticed (which i'm sure they WILL fix) is that when the Phils pitching coach came out for a mound visit, he had a black face and white hands. otherwise i love it

Ok again SORRY if this has been answered but does the game settings not save?

No

...and I think there might be some sort of a signal as far as what location(up or down) the catcher wants it. I know when he flips his hand over...it's just above the knee.

One suggestion to make. Raul Ibanez should not be making diving catches. Thanks.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Ok, if there is one thing that I think may need to be tweaked is the base runner speed.

Am I the only one that feels like the runners get down the first base line too quickly, maybe a step or two too fast? I was playing the Phils and Victorino hits a solid shot to Longoria who grabs it, throws and still only gets Victorino by a step or two?

Anyone else feel the same and community guys, do you notice this in the demo or did you notice it in the later build you played?

Maybe its just me..

Victorino may not be known as a prolific base stealer...but that man FLIES.

Countryboy,

Yeah, I noticed some bang, bang plays at first, like WHOO, but you know I always felt like last year too many of these guys were thrown out by a mile.

I know one thing that thrills me though, I haven't seen a chopper hit in front of the plate that has gone into one of those looooooooooooooooong, sllllllllllllllllllllllllllow, double pumps by the catcher or pitcher, but yeah, on some of those plays at first.......I like it.
