Were you checking every check swing to specifically see if the umps called it right?

If you guys fixed this then great, say that, I'm growing tired of smart a$$ answers though. Once again I stress, all most of have to go on is what the 08 version was like and the 09 demo. Outside of that we haven't played the final 09 game yet, so when I see that the check swing thing was exactly the same as it has been in the past several versions (including the demos) and it has not been mentioned till now that it has been fixed, you can see why I would say I was bummed to see it still the same way in the 09 demo.

Don't you and jim ever get tired of kissing the developers a$$es? Loving the game and being pumped up for it are one thing, (I am too) worshiping their every move is another.

Jim's already flat out lied about the crowd duplicates, so his opinion on anything is pretty much void, but you still have a shot. SEE THE LIGHT!

Watch me get banned now for getting on jims case. (he has friends who are mods and can ban you if you go against anything he says, watch out!)

Jim lied and you complain about EVERYTHING! So I guess we are even. I will say one thing you take the cake. You are so negative on this game I don't even know why you are playing it. If you want me to be truthful. for the record Jim didn't he said it would be hard to see. Why? Because what is happening around the Stadiums. With the Jumbo Tron and all the little things it will be hard to see all that. That is what he meant.

You can still buy the game. But you have to admit you are pretty hard on this game. but back to impression. I played today, but after seeing what this game is really about. I am having a hard time playing the demo. I think I am done with it and will just wait for the real game.

Oh yeah, and just some more proof on how I'm always negative about the game, here are some of my quotes so far:

Quote:

The amount of work done on all the stadiums I've seen have been breathtaking. Truly outstanding. Whoever was in charge of doing the stadiums/etc, give those guys my warmest regards! Very impressive stuff. Such a big leap from 08 IMO.

Quote:

- The hitting is so much improved. The bat speed just makes things 100x more realistic. Even after 10+ games I'm STILL swining early a lot of the time! lol I've been playing 08 every day since it was released so I still have that system in me. - The breaks on the pitches are WAYYYYY better. I can't express enough how much this improved the game. - LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the 10 second intro BEFORE the game starts. That REALLY makes it feel like a TV broadcast. Small detail, but huge in the immersion factor. - Field degradation, amazing. Love how they added that. - Fans walking around, up and down steps, vendors,etc. All amazing details that immerse you even further into the experience. - Lighting is fantastic - Sound is fantastic - Feel of the game is fantastic

I'm just SO DARN NEGATIVE!

Listen, I'm not being hard on it at all, every single thing I've mentioned up to this point, I have stated that it would NOT stop my enjoyment of the game. Hell even the framerate problem I said I would play though if I had to, that's how much I love the game.

Having said that, when I see a problem, I'm going to post it. This is a forum after all.

Like I said it all cool. But I bet if we were to do a search there would be more negative than positive, but I don't want to get in trouble, so it is all cool. Share some more impressions. I like to hear what you and others are seeing?

I, like you, stopped playing the demo, because I just can't take another 4 innings with the Phils and Rays. I SOOOO hope I don't get drafted by one of them in RTTS because I may actually reset the game. lol

The demo is great other than that little frame rate hiccup that I have, and some of those minor annoyances that can happen with it being a demo. Can't wait to see all the bells and whistles in the full version.
