I went hitless until the bottom of the 6. I lead off with a Victorino single, but then he got picked off. Hit oen up the middle with Ruiz that got misplayed so he was on first, stole one due to a bad throw with him then had a bunt hit with hamels. {keep in mind, silnce it's a 4 inning demo this was extra innings}. With ruiz on 3rd and hamels on first i went for a suicide squezze with rollins and one. I was just stunned. I was thinking { i had nevers playen this demo or 08 above veteran, and it took nemesis a couple of games to do it, and in my first game i won!} i mean i was in utter disbelieve, but legen is wicked. I struck out i don't know how many times on a Kazmir slider. Legend makes a 92mph fastball look like 95mph.

You guys are hysterical with this winning stuff! Play 9 innings then we will talk, lol!

Nemisis, you, Knight, and Jim were all correct about legend. The first time i saw a Kazmir slider in legend, i was like :shoc ked:. He struck me out nine times, and atleast 5 were sliders on the last pitch.

[RedbirdFan18]

Yeah I know Nemisis lol. I was just so excited because i didn't even think i was good enough for all-star in the demo let alone legend. But im in shock about how hard and how much different legend is, and im extremely impressed from the demo, and that's an older build than you guys played!

playing with the wind slider in '09 demo changes speed but direction is always left to right. I take it that's because we're essentially playing the same part of the game over and over with same time of day and sky conditions etc..
can't wait to see the affect of wind speeds and directions in the real game.

Yeah I can't wait to see the lighting in day games, overcast games etc. I also can't wait to see other teams and pitchers then Hamels and Kazmir already!!! LOLOLOL. March can not come fast enough.

Overcast looks ominous! Really cool looking.

Dude, what is your problem? Why am I not entitled to my opinion. I don't like the fielding in the game. Does that bother you? Since you like it, does that mean I should make a post saying you are wrong for liking it? I am not complaining. I was simply stating my opinion. If fact, I think the Show is an amazing representation of the sport. Leaps and bounds better than 2k's past efforts. I am just wishing some parts of the game weren't so stale to me.

Also I am buying the game day one, and will have a great time with it. And to respond to your other comment. I am NOT a 2k baseball fan. I am really not a 2K anything fan. Not even NFL 2K5!! Do I hope 2k has an amazing baseball game this year. Damn right I do. Everyone else should too.

The last thing I am going to do is sit here and complain about the show. I said how I felt and thats it. In fact if you look at my post after that, I said I was enjoying the demo more the more I played it. There are just a few things about the game I would like to see changed. Sorry if that offends you, or anyone else.

Oh and to let people know. I am a show veteran. I have been playing this game since MLB 98 on ps1. I owned EVERY mlb, and mlb the show game since 98.
