Yeah..I was thinking the same thing.
I played the Demo on my son's 360 to see what it was all about and I must say it is improved from last year. The hitting and pitching are revamped and I like the feel of it. I just don't like the laser throws the fielders make (especially the outfielders)
Im waiting to hear about the PS3 version as that is what I have. Im already getting the other game but was considering trying this one out. I think im going to rent it first.
