Yep, until next week when he decides to get rid of it again! Any ways this demo is a blast to play.

None were done when I was there. They were all the same as last year.

Although I did get a preview of some... and Santana's pitching motion should be nice!

I may be wrong, but I don't remember seeing this cutscene in 08:

The Rays' player hit a 2-run shot,and during the replay, it showed the Rays dugout, with the players all standing and watching, then celebrating the HR! Just like real life......

Man, March cannot get here fast enough!

Yeah, that was there last year... very cool scene though!

Anyone else have a chance to see Chris Coste bat in this game. He pinch hit one time and geez what a stance he has, i'm wondering if it's overdone by the BSG or if it's really like that. I should have taken a pic but never thought at the time.

ya almost like an overdone Pete Rose type of stance, took me by surprise when I saw it..nice to see change however.
Loving this!

I don't think you get what I'm saying.

It's not that I can't find out what their strike zone is, it's just that, like in real life, I pretty much know for myself and every one else that I watch bat what is considered too high or too low for them based on their stance. But if an ump takes you to a height chart before you bat and says, "Okay, your strike zone will be from [hand gestures] 'here' to 'here'," it throws you off regardless. You pre-determine what it is the top of the strike zone will be for your player based on how he bats, and when he crouches for it to "enlarge" taller than what it should be, it makes it tough to make those adjustments on the fly because you're not accustomed to swinging at pitches coming to their letters.

I hope that makes sense. It's not as much of a complaint as it is getting you to identify what the strike zone in this game is really like.

Chris_SCEA:

thank you, for your hard work. Do you know if Paul Molitor's stance is in this game? And if not, would you be willing to include him next year?

thank you.
