what cloud?

Can anyone check and see if the computer pitcher automatically picks over when you take that 4th step on your lead? Last year, you could do it infinitely (even if your runner made it back standing up) and the pitcher would always throw over.

It caught me by surprise as I was playing as well. My best guess is that when i made the throw to second, I was given control of the shortstop before the ball got there and pulled my player off the bag. It was early this morning so forgive me for not being 100% clear on what happened. I believe that i was trying to preload my throw from the shortstop to first base, and therefore may have been aiming towards first. That may be why the player's momentum was towards first. Not sure. I will have to play a bit and see if I can get it to do that again.

It doesn't...(If I'm understanding you correctly)....
I took three extra steps towards second base with Nick Johnson and the CPU didn't throw over at all.(I think it didn't see it as a threat...it did throw over when I had Jeter on 1st)

The clouds in the background actually move this year instead of being a stationary background.

Is anyone walking the CPU without really "trying" if you know what I mean.

I wish they improved the sound of the ball coming off the bat for once in this game. The animations do ont look natural at all, the players look like a bunch of robots out there. It is definately improving slowly but surely on the gameplay. I think Ill wait on this one. Gotta love having both systems!

Now that I've gotten pitching down a bit...I have to see if it's a running thing with most "weak" pitches(meaning...is the CPU seeing a weak pitch and swinging regardless of location....another thing I was missing) 2. Is there a way to practice swing?....I may be missing it. 3. Is the pitch popping up when I'm at bat always there?...FASTBALL...CUVRVE...etc...can you shut that off? ...and I maybe I'm just not used to the batting system...but I feel like the game won't let me swing(even though it's late)......sometimes. Quite a few times...the game kind of took over and took the pitch for me....when I really meant to swing(for a strike ).... Thanks. M.K. Knight165

1-During your first motion you need to hold it there till the ring expands, then you need to time your release and start second motion.

2-I don't think so. I thought it use to be there.

3-This is teid to your batters eye and it only works for good hitters. I'm not sure, but i think you can switch it off. As far as not being able to swing i have no idea what you're doing unless you're just really, really late with your swing? I'm having no problems at all.
