Not in the demo.

Nice to see a double play being broken up on a dropped ball from the fist baseman. The CPU ended up scoring a run because of this.

The fielding is growing on me after 10 plus games.

The players need to run past 1st base on an out. I don't like how they stop half way.

the hitting looks crisper Played a game , and like the stride is now control when going back = which simulates a player trying get more plat and turn type movement like in real life where contract is the players normal stride and based on the pitch location what the hitters strengths are and how you time the pitch determines the result

Wow.... batting angle is about the only draw...and that ain't much of a draw. Jaggies all over the place. Frame rate problem is definitely there. Feels very stiff. Looks somewhat like a semi-last gen game. Always somewhat liked the pitching interface, but this demo is not inspiring me to buy at all.

Ronnie2k tweeted that the demo is from an early build. There have been fixes since then and a day one patch for both the PS3 and 360 will be available (he indicated that the HR glitch would be fixed in it). The list of patch fixes will be released when the patch is out on Tuesday.

The more I play the more I love the hitting. I truly think that is the best improvement from 2K10 to 2K11 - more than the fielding imo. I won't say it's like MVP 05 because there were a lot of things I didn't like about that system but the bat on the ball is really, really good imo.

I had played about 10 or so games and hit at least one HR in every game except for one. So I tried playing three games this morning using only the contact swing. I did hit one ball to the warning track with Beltre but no HRs. There is still a HUGE gap between the contact and power swing - too big imo. It's a big reason why the cpu hasn't hit a HR against me either. Much like last year I think they swing for contact too often. I'm hopeful sliders will fix this for retail but it was an issue last year.

One thing I'm seeing too much of is base runners getting doubled up on line drives to the infield. They are too slow to get back to the bag.

I actually like the demo and look forward to its release.. So glad they "updated" the Fielding to make errors possible. In one game I was going for a DP and managed to pull both the 2b man and 1st baseman off the bag with throws-- both runners safe. Same game Borbon botched a line drive right to him, and Sandoval kicked one away.. good stuff.
