Now that I'm getting the timing down better, I'm starting to hit them as well. With that said, I was also trying to "aim for the fences" with the left-analog. I'm going to just swing with the right stick. I was enjoying it that way early on, so I'm hoping it's more to do with the left-analog, than my skills.

Would you take fielding and player models over framerate?

[SeaNNyT]

My initial impressions is that this game looks terrible. The framerate is pretty bad at times when a ball is hit into the outfield. The textures on the grass and surrounding environment look awful, as well as the lighting.

As for gameplay, I am playing on allstar and already have hit several homeruns quite easily.

I am sure that is fixable with sliders, but this game looks so damn ugly and sloppy I don't know if I can put up with that part.

In defense of their rating of Carmona (and I speak as an Indians fan), he only did it for one year. He is probably better than an 84, but they usually do these based on three year averages. And Santana may have gone 15-13, but I'm someone who doesn't believe that a pitcher's W-L is a be all end all. He is certainly better than 15-13 and if there is a 100 pitcher in the MLB, it would be Santana.
