MLB 11 The Show Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

I think I maybe saw this once in 10 where the first baseman bobbled a throw and I'm over 100 games into my season.



This just happened in the bottom of the 10th in a 1-1 game. I'm the Giants and Lincecum is at 152 pitches with 13 k's on the default settings. I have 7 hits and the Rangers have 6

I think a lot of people are forgetting that last year's demo didn't look/sound as good as the retail version either. I'd say it's the nature of having compressed demos for DL.

I'm not sure I'm understanding the analog pitching. I have no idea where the ball will end up.


Analog hitting is impossible for me too, it seems.


Other than having to go back to button presses, it's looking good.

Pitching is difficult, as with all throws including throws in the field, dosent require you to pull back much on the analog control, makes it harder to move back in the reverse direction.

Batting is also difficult, either I am way late or too early. Feel the need to swing at everything, hard to locate and react to pitch location. Dont like the fact that as I pull back on analog, the batter starts stride towards pitcher, seems backwards. I have to read how to hit.

Fielding seems canned, didn't feel I had control over fielders.

Saw something I didnt like. CPU runner on 3rd, 2nd inning nobody out, next batter hit a hard grounder that got passed my 3rd baseman playing in!!! Why is the default playing in at this point of the game? Does it have anything to do with the demo being only 4 innings?

For the record I only played one game.

The demo feels like 10 but with the analog controls. The commentary is still underwhelming especially compared to the other baseball game. I will probably wait for the price to drop for this game as it feels like the show 10.5

It was considered late in the game because of the short game. The CPU adjusted accordingly. Would not worry too much bout it.

I've played the demo and it looks great the analog controls are good it takes awhile to learn but it's great. Overall very good. I can't wait to get the full game on March 8th. Great job SCEA.
