How the hell are you guys getting this game and the Show before release date??

I'm not getting any kind of replays when the ball is hit in HR derby. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I have a defective game? I bought it on 360.

I figured that, but I do believe the other guy saying his is the way his is.

Can somebody that's registered on the 2k boards try to clear up this homerun derby issue please? I played it a few times and I definitely am not getting any kind of camera that follows the ball in flight or I am not getting any kind of replay cut scenes that show the ball in flight. I hit the ball and the camera stays right there in the batting view. If its a hr, the counter just counts it as a hr and the next pitch is thrown right away. Does it have to be on a certain difficulty setting?
Other than that, the game is actually fun and feels a lot like a tv broadcast.

maybe you have hurry up baseball turned on...

pause the game and go into presentation and put hurry up baseball off..

when i hit the ball and is not a homer run then the camera stays with the batter and i see the ball land on the field

when is going to be a homerun..it goes into this broadcast view type from the side and shows the flight of the ball but not from the batters box...

I figured it out now! I have it on classic hitting and I always have a habit of holding the button down when I swing in baseball games. That was making it skip the flight camera. I just swing and let go of the button and all is well now. LOL!
