LOL, just as you said that, I hit a bloop ground ball which Kazmir fields... he underhands it to first, but never lead the first baseman and it rolled all the way to the tarp.

It was like he was throwing to an invisible first baseman that was already there, as the real first baseman was trying to get there.

So my runner on second scored after his double (that was not ruled a hit do to some error that never happened)

Horrible.

I tell rollins to stop at 2nd and he still runs past the bag and then gets tagged our

Already tried that (and about every conceivable way too...lol) It's not there. It's based on local servers though and I guess our's is behind. No biggie...it'll probably be up soon. I'll check back.

Thanks though

Stat overlays when the player comes up at bat seem to small, and almost feel generic.

It lacks "pop" of a network presentation.

Nice that it has the stats it does, but just doesnt have that "broadcast flair".

Nothing here either. Must be Live. I'm going to make some coffee.

Good News - Suicide Squeeze
Bad News - With Chase Utley at the plate and 1 out, doesn't sound very realistic. Also on the way home Werth was kinda of stuttering, he was moving but his legs were not. Very odd to see. He did this until I fielded the bunt and then he ran normal.

Edit: 1st inning to boot.

Wow, I am really impressed with this demo. First of all it feels nothing like 2k8, it is much easier to pitch, and yes the cpu does take strikes. Everything is so silky smooth with some occasional hiccups during cut scenes(very very minor). So far I am enjoying it and it feels like a brand new game. Presentation and commentary are superb and signature styles are almost life like (even their walk ups).

Even though there are plenty of things to nitpick about as with any video game, the most important thing about this game its that its fun and is smooth as butter.
