You go forward/back with the left analog stick, and zoom in/out with the right stick. You do not rotate the camera. You can flip between different angles with the X button. Sorry, I don't know how many there were.

Pitchers still field way too many pop-ups on the infield. No big deal, but it's unrealistic.

Anybody else have any more insight on pitchers stamina?

How is the gameplay?

Is it better than IGN's rating of 6?

Ever since IGN started sucking I haven't given their reviews much credibility, and it seems that in this instance they may be off once again?

Is the gameplay good or bad? That is important, even moreso than all the nice features and new stadiums...

Hard to say, I guess. I've spent less time with it that the IGN reviewer did (though maybe not by much).

I'm not getting the goosebumps from the gameplay I sometimes get in HH of "Wow! That was real!". But I'd say it's a lot better than last year. I'm seeing a greater variety of hits, better CPU strategy, better pitch counts.

The gameplay definitely feels more "lively" than last year.

Bought it, Played it, returning it. It's dissapointing. I expected something more. And from what I've seen, it's still a homer fest, I hit 2 in each of the first 3 innings of the 3 games I've played so far. I am going with WSB, MVP and HH. THis game isnrt worth it.

Huh. To each his own.

I took BP with Giambi set to "Over Middle Of Plate" "Meatballs", and couldn't jack one out. This was Veteran with the standard cursor. Maybe I just suck (in fact, I'm sure I suck), but I'm not seeing a HR fest.

This is what I was afraid of...lack of realism. Cool features mean nothing if you can hit 50 HRs with Jay Bell.
Just out of curiosity, what level were you playing on?
