here is part of the espn article

Other fielding additions include improved bare-handed flips and even players who dive with the ball in their bare hand to make the putout.

Master all these and you might also be ready to challenge the game's new Legendary difficulty level. Not for the faint of heart (or weak of thumbs).

Throughout the summer, and early fall all I heard about the gameplay complaints revolved around the too easy hitting. I'm definitely hoping Legendary level will fix this, and this is the feature I am MOST excited about. If the ease of hitting stays the same as last year, all the progressive lighting, weather, more animations won't matter one bit.

Maybe because it seemed that there wasn't much difference between the difficulty levels that they had for most people. I thought it was way too subtle. I should not have been playing on HOF last year and I was. I hope the challenge of each level that they currently have in has been tweaked so there is more incremental difficulty difference. I want LEGEND level to be so hard for most of us that it makes us weep and give up in frustration. That will satisfy all you studs out there.

Every stadium but Toronto's That's the one thing I want fixed this year before anything.

Also, I presume if there were rain delays, it would just simulate pitcher fatigue.

Thats it ... get out of this forum for five minutes ... give me 5 "hail mary's" (to any receiver of your choice) and come back.

You are losing touch with fandom!

If they would create a NBA game with this type of detail and features! Live and 2k basketball would be finished!!!

My Goodness!!! This game is looking and sounding amazing already! And honestly coming from MLB 08! I can believe they will 100% deliver this season! Wow!!!!oh!Wow!!!!
