Tapper back to the mound, easy play for Sabathia, perfect throw to first...

... and Teixeira forgets where first is. Again.

Yeah, how DARE I post accurate observations of what's going on in the game.

I'm reviewing the game, and I'm not going to turn a blind eye to the utter lack of quality assurance testing. I'm dumbfounded how these things get past alpha testing.

Saw it once in the demo out of like 7 tries. It happend when a dribbler was hit to the pitcher and the 1st baseman came in a bit then procceded to go back to 1st and when the pitcher threw the ball the 1st baseman forgot to step on the base.

I've seen it on a few non-comebackers as well.

Carlos Pena and Mark Teixeira were forgetting where first is.

Something new this time - slow grounder to third by Brett Gardner, who can fly.

So... GARDNER forgets where first is. Either that, or he was rounding first on a grounder - and this one I watched on Replay.

Why did you buy the game? You hated the demo, I'm actually questioning if you even have the game at this point. I played 4 games today, not seeing anything that you are magically seeing 3 times an inning.

Keep it to one post every once in awhile instead of new threads or new posts every 30 seconds.

At least they varied the home run hitter reactions. Matsui homers, he runs a little with the bat, leaning. A-Rod HRs, he flips the bat a little.

Neither of them did that fist pumping on EVERY HR like previous 2K's. Felt out of character for Matsui to be acting like he just won the Series.

Because:

1. I'm reviewing it, and 2K didn't send a review copy
2. How many baseball games on the 360?
3. I'm still hoping for patches
4. Who said I hated the demo? Better check again, keemo sabe

Posada, 2 for 2 - 2 singles and a groundout.

Er, um, how is that possible? lol

Got my first Achievement - Good things come in 3's (3 HRs in a game). Beating up on Joe Johnson (2 HRs off him to put the Yanks up 3 in the 8th)

i had the first baseman off the bag my first game and have never seen it since.
