Who's off the fence now about buying the game?

VC has rebuilt my trust this year and I'll be buying it day 1.

I was off the fence, but now i've jumped back on. I donated 60 bucks to cause last year and unfortunately i'm starting to see little things here and there in the demo that has changed my first impressions.

I still have hope and will contnue to read the impressions from people with the retail version. I'm 60/40 right now in favor of buying.

For me, I just want something more than a timing only hitting system.

I think you mean cursor hitting. 2k10's hitting isn't only time based... You have to point the left stick where the ball is if you want to make contact.

Played the demo a few times, and I'm someone who has said repeatedly that I did not want to get burned again running out with $60 and ending up with a bugged-out piece of crap that made me want to throw it against the wall after a week.

But the demo is quite good, and I have to seriously think about it now. The thing is that you can still see some areas of the game that look so poorly done, it's just tough to believe that they've gotten a rid of all of the game-crushing bugs that would destroy the experience. The crowd rendering as the camera pans quickly is terrible. Throwing speeds are off, and there's no way to adjust them. Outfielders and pitchers still don't always appear to have the ball come out of their hand at the proper angle.

The good news is that I'm catching flyballs and making routine infield outs. Really, it just feels like they turned up the assists in fielding to the point where you're actually doing very little, but even that would be preferrable to how it was last year.

As it stands, I'm still a "no" for release day, so that I can further play the demo and check out some reviews. My original plan was to rent the game somewhere for like a week, so that I could play it in-depth, but I'm being swayed more towards a full-on purchase. Hmm...

I'm on the fence between 2k10 and The Show, I only have a PS3, and it was mainly bought because of The Show. With that said, I really like the analog pitching and hitting of 2k, and I feel like The Show's main gameplay is getting a little stale, and I've played the full version at Best Buy.

So the deciding factor will probably be franchise and rosters, The Show has a solid community and will have great rosters from Knight and Co. , so that's keeping me undecided.

I think we've seen 'credible' feedback and I don't see anyone really putting their seal of approval on anything yet.

Once again, are you freakin' kidding me? You're giving this thing the seal of approval based on a three-inning demo? You call that 'credible' feedback? You have no idea if there are any bugs in franchise or on-line modes or any other problems that typically surface after release with this title.

I'm not saying the final product will be good or bad, but I'm not gonna cream all over myself based on a freaking demo. My idea of 'credible' feedback is hours of gameplay with the final version from several dozen people here, not the handful of regulars who never have anything negative to say about any game (you know who you are).

lol...I completely see your point, but to clarify, you misread his post (and probably his point). He said people AREN'T putting their seal of approval on this yet.
