The window for check swings seems to be narrowed down also. I like this years batting, forces me to be patient and actually read pitches instead of swinging all over the place.

Finally got a homerun, bottom 4th with Jimmy Rollins leading off on a fastball that caught too much of the plate.

I agree arvbas........checkswing is much better this year.

Another older guy here, my user name should give you a clue of my age. I have the Show 08 and think its the best looking and playing game in my collection. The Show 09 went a step further with details. This game looks and plays simply amazing. I lot of work and pride went into it that's for sure. Great job!

How do you change difficulty in the demo? Can you do that?

I can't seem to modify anything at all in the demo

Sure.

Just hit start....brings you to the menus...and you can change everything from there.

in 08 as far as i could tell there was no reason whatsoever to use the L stick but this year its absolutely necessary if the ball is anywhere outside of the swing indicator circle. This is zone hitting! Unless your so patient that you only swing at balls down the middle i'd bet you won't do well at hitting unless you aim.

just a heads up to TNKNGM that you will have to reset your settings for each game as they don't hold.

i was playing on HOF, i bat and pitch on catcher view (which is default), only slider i changed was pitch speed (global slider) upped it by 2 clicks as i'm always early.

has anyone else seen this? first pitch of the game i hit a homer with iwamura off hamels. iwamura stood and watched as it soared over the right-center wall.

first pitch to the next batter, upton, was high and inside, brushing upton back. next pitch, upton grounded out to short. in the cutscene following, upton and hamels were jawing at each other as upton passed the pitchers mound on his way back to the dugout and the announcer mentioned how upton wasnt too happy about the inside pitch earlier. Man! these are the things i love about this game! freakin awesome!

If this has been mentioned earlier, i apologize. i was just amazed to see this and thought i would share. hope everybody is enjoying the demo as much as me
