I think this game will be great, the game play was smooth for me the only thing that bugged me was on a fly ball to right field the fielder stopped and the center fielder came all the over to catch the ball. I am getting both games so i can play an AL franchise and a NL franchiseComment

The ball simply dies when it gets to the outfield. I've played exactly 15 games, not ONE ball that made it down the line or in the gap that went to the wall. In those games I got ONE double, and it was a close play. ZERO hits that went over outfielders or landed at the warning track for a hit... ZERO. Outfielders move left and right to fast, and have super cannons for arms. If the CPU didn't cut the ball off on throws home, a runner would never score from 2nd base on a single.
Pluses:
Pitching Meter
Throwing Meter
Base Running Mechanic
Adjusting Your Fielders (quick, easy, no fuss)
Minuses:
Hit Variety
CPU Fielding
Home Run Fest?
Just ok:
Hitting Mechanic (it's ok but kind of bland)
Graphics (passable and noticeably getting better)
Sound
May be too easy to throw strikes taking human controlled walks out of the game. But this needs to be tested more.Comment

-While certainly very-much toned down, there are still some issues with physics in terms of hits. I swung late on an outside pitch (tailing away, at that) and pulled it. This only happened a couple times though and both while fooling with the classic hitting. The swing stick seemed right on.
I can learn to live with the swing stick, but I am a bit disappointed that it does not seem like they put hardly any effort into classic swing.
I'll probably wait for user/critic reviews because I am still suspect after buying into the hype the last 2 years.Goozex

I don't recall him having a sinker in real life. He throws two fastballs (4-seam and what can be described as a 2-seam. It has a lot of movement. This might be what you are referring to). He also throws two variations of his curveball and sometimes a change-up, but no sinker.
As for the demo, I played about 5 games now. My first game I got blown out 5-0 because I couldn't remember how to play the game. My next 3 games were 0-0 ties. I then beat the Phils 8-1 on the strength of two 3-run A-Bombs. I like the pitching. Baserunning system still sucks. Batting is still a bit quirky but I think it is a significant upgrade from last year.
As a teacher, I can equate the two available baseball games to students. On one hand you have a low A student who when they improve, it doesn't really seem that significant. On the other hand, you have a failing student who just improved about two letter grades. It's more impressive in terms of gaining points but still doesn't match the quality of the other student.
In any event, I will give this game a fair chance during the month of March and we will see how it goes from there.Yankees & Nationals - The American Way!Comment

Can someone try batting using the standard "behind the pitcher" view used in real broadcasts? I bat from this view and last year in 2k9 the CPU catcher would give away location of the pitch instead of always setting up in the middle thereby making hitting easy.
Thanks, and sorry if this has been asked.Comment

Man I don't know what game people are playing, but this game is still a mess. Sure the pitching and hitting are fun, but both were done better in 2k8.
Once the ball is in play the game gets bad. Fielding is pretty much played by the cpu. Even throwing the ball with the meter, often times the computer will choose the release point instead of you when fielding a grounder.... baffling.

I for one won't be buying, and I won't be buying the show either. The show while it plays a great game of baseball, is stale and boring. Wish I could take the pitching and hitting interface from 2k and realism from the show.
These games aren't real. They are trying to simulate reality. They're not gonna be perfect and I know you know this already, right ?Comment

Tell me a sports game that plays well out of the box. I don't think any sports game plays great OOTB. That's why they put sliders in sports games in the first place.Moderator

I've been playing this demo most of the night now and I gotta say, the more I play it the more I like it! The hitting feels right and the pitching is challenging but fun! Seems like you have to earn strikeouts and you cant make too many mistake pitches. The graphics are definitely great and I love love love the smooth framerate!! 2K has my $60 come next week.Comment
