All in all, with this patch, i'm pretty happy to have chosen this game over the show.
A few more things.
1) The CPU is a lot more realistic now. Although there some instances where the cpu are too aggressive, for the most part, they play like they would in real life. If you throw too many pitches in the strike zone, they will start hacking, but if you keep throwing pitches out the zone, they will take pitches.
2)Like someone said earlier for the most part, the pitching is not the same. You can't just say "I want this pitch at the corner" and accept it to be on the corner.
3)The outfielder catches are fixed, but not fully. For instance, let's say you're near the area where the ball is going to land, you will hesitate to catch the ball, thus causing the ball to drop.
4) Also, while runners are on base, when you pitch, the deliveries will fasten. Although it can to lead to some funky animations, it really allows you to be able to more runners trying to steal.
5)Also,not a big, but now in play now, you can select who you can pitch as( Not sure if this was in pre-patch though).
That's pretty much all that I can think of. And as stated above, the Show defentiately has some major competition now.

Ok after one game i can say it does play a better game overall by far all the little things that hinderd the game before seem to not show up, had no 1b glitch, no outfield errors(well no dumb plays that didn't get caught), aggresiveness is toned some but i haven't adjusted sliders post patch, i get them to take a couple more strikes but they do still swing at most pitches in the zone(there is a difference but i don't know if it will be big enough for most people who wanted the big overall change) as for the cpu throwing more balls to me i didn't really see it, may have been the pitcher i faced but he seemed to want to get ahead in early in the count and only saw a 3 ball count on me 1 time all game
for all the people that are wondering about having to start a new franchise no it doesnt seem you have to, as the game i played was from my franchise and i just downloaded the patch, i know the patch took effect because of one of the fix's listed was the pitcher walks off the mound after striking out the 3rd batter to an inning, that was what caught my eye to pay more attention to see if the patch really was taking place in a pre existing franchise
overall i did enjoy the game more as it played a solid game, it is not the end all patch most are hoping for though it just really fixed the little bugs that most people couldn't get past
and also on this i really agree, you will not hit your spot every time all the time now makes for a much more interesting pitching experience, i do like the change

Do any of the 360 users notice that is very hard for a ball on the ground to get through either of the holes in the infield? Up the middle are the only hits I get on the ground. It seems like no matter who is playing the infield, they have super speed and range. It gets very frustrating.

I definitely agree that the pitching post-patch is much improved and the fielding seems better as well. The walk up animations seem fixed and I really enjoy the variety of hits I'm seeing. The best part to me seems to be that the awful OF blunders seem to be addressed and the CPU batters seem to be only aggressive at the plate in realistic situations and don't seem to swing as much at obvious pitches in the dirt or out of the zone as was the case pre-patch.

KCXIV, can you confirm hitters no longer "snap" into their hitting stances?
To me the outfield play is sitll an issue, still there is a slow down and its hard to judge line drives in time and balls are still getting by me.
The AI takes more pitches, but they still hit the crap out of the ball on default all star. Hopefully there are some good post patch sliders because im at my wits end with this franchise.

Seems like there is some differing opinions on how successful the patch was at addressing the games main issues.
