No worries anymore about the game being easy. I had a brain fart and forgot all-star wasn't the hardest mode (outside of legend). HOF mode is just right for me at the moment.

I do agree with Mark on the pitch calling thing. I think every pitch is called low and in to lefties or low and away to righties. However, they're pretty spot on with the type of pitches to call (and the pickoffs), which is cool.

I finally won a game on legend, 2-0. I hit a fluke triple past a diving Ibanez that drove in a run and then hit a sac fly right after. I'm going to have a lot of fun on that mode this year.

this happened in 08 the show too...

randomly players become the same height as other players. rollins somehow got taller. I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about. it was in mlb 08 and now it's in this demo. hopefully they get rid of that glitch. This is when they're at bat too, not just in cut scenes. sometimes though. he doesn't get taller. I sound dumb if you don't know what I'm talking about.

I noticed that the framerate or something to that nature really slows down and loses fluidity during the pitcher/batter matchup. The pitching and ball delivery weren't very smooth, making it very difficult to follow the flight of the pitch.

Did anyone notice this during the community event? I'm hoping this is a demo issue only.

By the way, hitting seems more difficult this year already, in my opinion. The only 2 homeruns I've hit through 6 games have been walkoffs with Utley on All-Star.

Some have and some have not noticed it in the demo, it was confirmed that this is not at the event version, or in the final game.

Wow I love the animation in the game. They have Owned this for awhile. I have never seen a game with better animation than the Shows. Even on the PS2 it was amazing!
