Phew! Glad to hear it. I was worried there for a second.

I've just been having so much fun with the demo, aside from the issue during pitching and batting, it's a lot better than '08. Shoot, I don't think I can ever go back to '08 now!!! Guess it's time to sell my copy.

Just not clear to me. I know that last year when you saved your game and then loaded it back the sound of the ball hitting the catchers glove would not be there for about 4-5 pitches. I checked this out and it's been fixed.

Ok just wanted to chime in and say I love this game.
As far as the catchers calling the game, even though it looks like they are always calling low (in or out) if you hit the right trigger to "ask" them again. The location shows up and it's not always low. So is there a C sign or motion we are not seeing or noticing?
If this was already brought up I'm sorry but I'm 1 day behind.

It usually helps to extend your initial lead before you steal as well. If you do it too early the cpu pitcher will try and pick you off. Extend your lead right as the pitcher lifts his leg to throw the pitch. The press the L1 button and he's off to the races. I was terrible at baserunner before I started practicing on this demo. I've had great success swiping bags thus far.

It is how is it in real life. Guys that have that kind of stance have a small strike zone. Some times the Ump still go outside of the strike zones for guys with stances like that though.
