good to know.

I wasn't bothered by it, it just so happened that while I was responding about check swings I was trying to get a lead with him to steal and he kept throwing over...lol

I have absolutely no complaints about this game at all.

Quick question for you guys though...The transition from light to dark is a little quick...I am assuming that it for demo purposes only correct?

In this picture his hands are pretty low...but take a look at video from September and October...he has his hands higher...check out this video: http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200809163488988 There are many guys like this...sometimes they are up on their toe, sometimes not....sometimes they are a little more open than other times... The "hands higher, bent knees" Pena is what you will see in the shipping game....if he decides to lower his hands at some point in the season...well, you are on your own then.... Enjoy the demo! And enjoy the game! Chris

Honestly... it's pretty damn close.

In the version we played I did not notice quick transitions from light to dark. I have to check the demo to see it.

i heard that the red circles with the blue arrows weren't going to be there this year, when your playing on auto fielder it's still there. only on the user not the cpu. Does anyone know if it's in the upcoming game as well?

I got a 2 out bases loaded blooper between SS and LF that scored 2 runs. I actually pumped my fist!

Ok played 2 games.... Ummm is it just me or are hits hard to come by without guess pitch on? Visually looks great, plays ok although 08 will be tough to beat..... I do see some lag during pitches, that better be cleared up by release day.... all in all should be a great game when nem is done tweaking and knight completes his rosters

You will also see some cool seeing eye singles through the infield this year too!
