Just saw an interesting 'hiccup'.

Rays are in the field, ball is hit to Bartlett. He throws to first but the ball goes over Pena's head. The cutscene then shows a player consoling Pena on the Bench, but they are still in the field with no outs.

This game is even better with all the videogame stuff turned off. Pitching by looking at the catchers fingers instead of the game telling me what he's calling,no strike zone and all that sort of thing.

I went back to 720p just because it was back on automatic but it went back to not fitting the screen. The options didn't save so I don't know what happend there. Maybe it didn't fit the first time and I didn't notice.

Well, I finally downloaded the demo here in the UK...over 7 hours on my 512K broadband - dedication to the cause....

As like the rest of you guys I'm totally blown away with this...considering this must be month old code as well...really like the presentation, making it feel even more like a tv broadcast...one disappointment is the removal of going through all the lineup at the start, but it's still neat.

As for gameplay, I'm a cpu v cpu player and I'm highly encouraged by the gameplay...with even more polished code to come for release and the ability to watch any game this is going to be an awesome game...unfortunately the pitch speed still isn't shown on the scoreboard in cpu v cpu mode, but it's a small issue.

Graphically the game is outstanding and the progressive lighting is simply sublime. The commentary for me is the best in the gaming business - there is so much of it and it's informative...for me it is just like watching tv..

Roll on March 3rd for the release...March 10th can't come here soon enough as it'll be about that time that my imported copy drops through my letterbox...

Well done SCEA...it's very encouraging...

You're a trooper! Glad you got the demo and are enjoying it... that's love right there!

Thanks Pared - if I told you what really happened you'd be sending me a medal in the post!!

Stayed up until 1am UK time for the US store updating on Thurs, set the d/l away thinking I'd have 6 hours before work..well it dropped connection after 135Mb...so I had a tiring day at work before setting it away again at 4pm last night...finally around 10pm I was able to have a gander at the delight of the 09 version...simply splendid, and well worth the download time!

Pared · 02-07-2009, 05:34 PM

Ninjoid · 02-07-2009, 05:35 PM

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!

1. No its the same. I can't understand why as soon as you get close to the ball in the OF or IF, the CPU takes over. I hate it. I really dont think there is much skill involved when it comes to fielding.. I wish they would fix it

2. My biggest complaint.. there isnt much control when it comes to fielding.
