Awesome to hear all this. Getting psyched for next week.

Quick hitting question--when using the RS, is it zone hitting (meaning I have to move the LS where I think the ball will be and then use the RS to swing)?

Things are very much improved. The best improvement for me by far is the fact that the CPU doesn't swing at everything, and this is with no sliders being adjusted. In my one game this morning, I worked a few long counts, making it very enjoyable. Pitching to the shaded red/blue areas seems to be much improved. I love that aspect.

Another positive is the frame rate. Everything runs very smoothly, in and out of the field. One thing I'm not too sure about is the black hole that shows up when the ball is hit. It clears as the ball approaches the ground but it seems like it shouldn't be there. The fielding frame rate though seems to be very much improved.

There is still some jerky animations when the ball is not in play. Not a big deal, but that run and stop like animation still shows itself. It's almost like the players look like squirrels on the field. I played one game with sunshine and you do see the change in lighting. I feel it needs a filter because things are sometimes too white and bright, giving it an arcade look.

Other than that, the game is obviously much improved. The thing that stands out most for me is the pitching. I really came away feeling good about that.

I was going to buy both games this year regardless, however I am pretty impressed with the demo. I spent about 85-90% of my time with the Show last year, but I think 2K10 will be getting much more play time than that from me this year. Don't know if it will be a 50/50 split, but this feels fun this time around. Pitching is much improved in my opinion. Very smooth feel to everything. That was something I was not at all expecting. I am loading some videos to youtube, but because of the quality they will take a while.
