Re: MLB 11 The Show Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here
Enjoyed the demo. A good sign is that I'm in bed reading impressions and I'm debating whether to play some more and forget I have to wake up at 5.
What I liked:
Player models
Lighting (as has been mentioned numerous times)
Unis look really detailed and vibrant. Noticed an overall crispness and detail in everything compared to '10.
Analog is the way for me. Jumped right in, probably helped from 2K days, but hitting, pitching, fielding is all very fun to me.
Dislikes:
Familiar cutscenes, replays seem to need a tweak- maybe some new camera angles. Perhaps more play on released version will reveal more variety.
Crowd seemed somewhat muted, and I'd have to echo some other comments that say the atmosphere is kind of dull. Perhaps it's due to it being a 4 inning exhibition game.
I did encounter a bug which may be demo related. Hit a home run with Torres, driving in Tejada. Unfortunately, on the next play, there sat Tejada at first and SF was only awarded 1 run. I'd hate to see that pop up every now and then ( it happened, I swear).
Can't wait for March 8 and check out the other stadiums, unis, and in season stats (enjoyed seeing OPS having more of a presence in some stats, such as player of game, hopefully it's shown more for in season purposes rather than 1 game, where OPS can quite inflated with the limited plate appearances. Anyways, quite satisfied.

and i absolutely loved this game for the past 3 years
Somehow, the graphics just keep getting better. It looks crisper and the sky looks phenomenal. I tried analog hitting and pitching. It would be awesome if I was good at it, but it's very hard for me. Works well though, so no complaints. Also, I saw the grounds crew come out and rake the field at the end of an inning. That was a nice touch. SCEA made little improvements in all the areas that count. Don't know what more you could ask for. C'mon, March 8th!
