I'd like to leave the HR Celebration Cam on, because there are some other angles that I like, but I just can't stand seeing the face shot while a ball is leaving the yard. Hopefully it gets scraped from next years game.

thats why I turn it off. I don't like some of the angles, plus I don't like that I can't see where the ball lands and it seems to take some of the excitement out of the homerun for me.

I'm being careful and he strokes a single to RF....Feliz goes for third and I ALMOST threw there...but I decide to play it safe and not let Rollins get to 2nd, right? 1st and third....Rollins is going to go...I keep throwing over there. Nada...can't get him....so I decide to be cute and snap throw to 1st(he's dancin' off every pitch!)........AND.......I FRIGGIN' THROW THE BALL INTO RF!!!!!! ... Not only does Feliz trot home...but the ball gets into the corner and I misplay it...ROLLINS SCORES FROM 1ST! I might need a new monitor. Does anyone know where I can repair this?.. .. Oh yeah...I eventually lost in 6 M.K. Knight165

Minus the pitcher/batter "lag", the demo is amazing! I understand it is not in the build that was played on CD, so I'm not worried about it. Cole Hamels just threw a perfect game (4 innings) against me; he completely dominated me. I think the only ball I hit solid was a foul ball lol.

forgive me if this was answered in the thread, but I'm at work and if i search too long my boss will block this site.

1) Is the fielding better than last yr where I'd be an outfielder and the game would kind of take over my fielder when I got close to the ball and make the catch for me? I hated that?

2) I'm an MVP 2005 guy. Still play it with all the mods on PC. How does this game stack up as far as feeling "in control" and fun factor?

Thanks!

I played the demo on thursday and had a great experience.
Game when to the 6th inning when utley was at bat.
I had a feeling of hitting a walk off. so i press power swing and he did hit a walkoff. Utley rounding first base was a hybrid of Joe Carter's walkoff in the WS and Big mac's 62 homerun. Awesome celebration.
One thing i noticed yesterday when Cole Hamles is pitching from the stretch position. His delivery looks identical to J.C Romero.
Can someone explain this?

in my last game i hit a deep fly ball where the rightfielder had to cover a lot of ground to get to it, hit his glove and fell out ,lol, don't think i've seen that one before, i had a guy at 2nd at the time and in my amasement of the error i never advanced him

Nice to see the lighting go from day to night as the game moves along, and also nice to see the "2 out force at second" fiasco has been fixed. You know, the one where a grounder to second with 2 outs, you try flipping to the SS for the force but your 2B stood there waxing his carrot too long and the runner was safe.

Guys, I'm an old guy like Jim and need all the help I can get. I tried the "offset" hitting angle and it helped me alot. For those who are having trouble hitting, try it. I homered in four straight games with Howard after I changed! Default all-star.
