WOW. At first I was skeptical, as I didn't play MLB 10: The Show all that much compared to 08 and 09. But the demo is AWESOME.

A couple things I really liked:
- The new player model system is great! It really shows on someone like Sandoval.
- I was playing as the Rangers, and I hit a pop up into foul territory on the third base side... Sandoval went over but it seemed like it was going to drop just out of his reach. He reached over the rail and caught it! I am not sure if this was in last year, but I never saw it.

ALSO, I am seeing tons of posts about the analog fielding system and throwing errors. After five games or so, I have not made a single throwing error. Am I missing something? I am playing with default settings. It seems to me like you just point to the base you are throwing to, correct?

Way to go SCEA! I am so excited. The demo just makes the wait worse! But I am hoping to get better at hitting by the time the game drops.
