He doesn't know how to operate the focus button on his camera either....

I think the ground ball throws are the result of bad timing and not letting the fielder get set. I think there is a big advantage to not pre-loading a throw on a routine groundball, or even one into the gap.

We are not going to get the rockets as a guy leaps backwards from third and short like we saw last year unless the guy has a legit rocket arm.

LOL! What's funny is that I think he had autofocus on, and the camera was refocusing based on the camera shot in the game.

Overall, it looks good, bordering on great.

The two nitpicks I have are with the 3-1 play by the CPU (3:33) and the off balance throw by Scutaro (9:20).

Teixeira should not have thrown wildly off his back foot while Garcia was still 40+ feet away from the bag. Stop, pivot, begin moving towards first base and either underhand or overhand the ball to Garcia depending on how close he was in relationship to him.

From what I've seen so far (demo and videos), the plays involving pitchers at 1B need a lot of work (at least from a CPU AI standpoint).

Scutaro made the proper throw (animation wise) to 1B based on his momentum. If the user would have stopped Scutaro's momentum, he could have made a better throw to 1B. It's nice to see rocket arms on these types of throws are gone. However, there's something off about the way the ball made it to the first basemen. I don't think it bounced high enough and I don't think the grass slowed it down as much as it should have. The David Wright throw in the Mets/Nats video was even worse IMO.

I'm anxious to read the release day patch notes and I can't wait till Thursday!!

Here they are talking about the commentary in the game and how great it is. Now if only they would have shut up so that we can enjoy it instead of their crappy yack yack in the background then it would have been great!

Is it just me or did the swings and misses he had using Youkalis looked much better than in the demo, the bat appeared to some weight to it.
