1st of I need to get this out of the way....

XBL>PSN... took me 1:15 minutes to download & another 20 to install... 1 of the reason I'm not a big PS3 fan. MANDATORY INSTALLS...

Now that's out of the way:

Demo looked great. I didn't change anything in the Menu. Lost on a walk-off.

Spoiler

Not sure if it's in 08, but the Walk-Off team celebration is in

Only played 1 game, so I didn't see many new animations. I did see:

Jump Throw & a 1st baseman on a foul ball down the line push it in foul territory with his glove.

Pitching did feel tighter. The transition in lighting is great. For an early build the game played very well. Here some screens I took:

Game looks sick

I loved the fact that the shadow contrasted with the light from the CF wall was kinda blinding me...but the shadow moved allowing me to hit better.

I noticed i was pulling alot more balls foul....and I actually struck out on sliders that were in the strike zone...that use to never happen

You should use the in game screen capture utility... way cooler (and easier).

They still have that stupid thing, where the catcher throws it around the horn and it goes through the batter that just struck out.

Just HAVE to post that right? Don't worry... your Xbox friends aren't going to check OS and notice you're cheating on them... it's a game system; Enjoy it as such.

In the demo can we pitch from the pitcher view? Hope that makes sence.
