Just some quick thoughts:

Hitting - Love that there's Timing Only for all difficulty levels. Analog is fun as well, but playing from broadcast makes it more challenging. Also, I LOVE the new Contact swing. Watch out, here comes Brett Gardner!

Pitching - Used Classic in the past, I've done only Analog in the demo. Incredibly rewarding, although I'm still struggling to hit my left/right spots. Could be my imagination, but it seems that the CPU hitters are more aggressive, especially on chasing pitches out of the strike zone.

Fielding - Wow, way tighter and more fluid. Huge upgrade with catcher blocking pitches in the dirt. The fielding animations have taken a big step forward, the ball physics and ball/glove interaction seem much smoother and more natural. I've thrown to homeplate several times from the outfield, and I don't think one bounced up to the catcher's right shoulder. The throws were online and low, right where they should be. Park seems "bigger", think there could be more extra base hits with balls hit in the gap.
