Good stuff, I will try it out. Too bad I hit a HR once about every 25 innings, LOL. Might be a while before I see it.

This is just embarrassing but ...I can't hit for the life of me on All - star. Almost every swing is early

Ok 2 issues with the 09 demo that were also in 08!

1. After the left fielder made the catch for the final out he starting running back to the dugout and he ran right into the stands. I mean through it.

2. And this is a bad one that I hated last year with a runner on first base the CPU hit a ground ball to my shortstop and I fliped to second for 1 out then for some reason the second basemen just held onto the ball and would not throw to first for the double play. Why does this still happen?

The runner would have been out at first if he threw the ball. I pushed the buttom like I always do. This is my biggest problm with MLB The Show. Yes the Gameplay is much better then 08 but at least in the Demo there are still times when it feels like the CPU is not letting you do things like for example throw to the base when you want to.

I hope both of these are fixed in the final build! More importantly number 2.

Maybe Sony could chime in on this please?

I turned many double plays at the event without ONE hiccup, not one single underhanded lob, nada. All I can tell ya.

Glenn,

Did you turn the pitch speed down? This is definitely something guys are going to have to be a little patient with as it's completely unlike 08. I used to be LATE with almost every swing last year on fastballs. Now, I'm out in front, but pulling balls. It'll come.

I am not talking about the underhand lob issue. What I am saying is the second basemen just did not throw the ball. And I am sure I pushed the buttom pretty hard.

Also have you seen this in the Demo?

Maybe its fixed?
