Yeah, same thing for me, and the worst part is that, once AGAIN this year, if you look at the replays, 90% of the time it's CLEAR the check swing was not a strike but they call it anyway.

I was hoping they would fix that this year but I guess not.

Wow, Mark it is a demo. How do you know they didn't fix it? Maybe they did and maybe they didn't. Who knows it is a Demo.

Me and one of the guys just played 5 straight games and it wasn't a problem in any of them, however we are playing the finished product and not the demo.

Now come on now. The real game will have all the short coming the Demo will have, right?

Damn, i've never seen so many SBs in an inning of baseball. 1st The Rays get on,steal 2nd, next batter gets on...then they Double steal??? yeah then outa NOWHERE...they tried a suicide squeeze...and thats how it ended up...a SUICIDE...he was out by 10'

Diggin' this game

The only thing I'm a little concerned about after playing the 09 Demo is that it seems like the baserunning in general is a little too fast....I'm seeing a few too many doubles becoming triples (for CPU especially) and the outs on easy grounders seem a little to close sometimes even for slower runners. Stealing somehow feels ok though.

Stretched a game out to 8 innings.

Not sure if this is mentioned, but Vasgersian STILL calls Tampa Bay the "Devil Rays." This is their second year as the Rays, and they went to the World Series in their first. It seems like a pretty big oversight, even though it only happens in (I believe) two commentary loops. They get it right a lot, but then again, those slip-ups shouldn't be there. They might as well call the Nationals "the Expos."
