Ooh... that's very nice. Couple that with force trades on and it seems like they almost got CPU roster control down this year.

Basically, I'm scared that any bad pitch is going to result in a meatball pitch, which should not be the case. Can anyone please give some feedback on this?

Check out the full game video on Vetzballin.com. It's clear that once we learn 'how' to pitch, meatballs will not be frequent. In fact, the CPU even fouled a few off in that video... they aren't automatic homeruns.

I think the initial, knee jerk detest of the meatballs is due to the fact people are adjusting to the new pitching mechanic.

This is what I'm getting from people. Those with Interlace TV's or Interlace set in their system settings are seeing real choppiness & those who have Progressive display & Progressive set in their system are not seeing as much

I thought you could turn off the meatball pitch feature anyway. Isn't there also a slider for the meatball pitches?

Ok It's better in 720p but not smooth by any means...

Right now, I have my 360 hooked up to a Dell 24" monitor via VGA connector running at 1920x1080.. can't wait to get home and see if I get the choppyness.

You can turn OFF the MEATBALL Indicator & there's a slider to lower MEATBALL Pitches all together
