loving this i cannot stop playing. the new fielding routes. still don't get a full home run trot around the bases but do get a lot of awesome angles of the homerun and reactions and different views of certain bases. Framerate not concerned about for the retail version from what knight jim and nem are saying along with all the SCEA guys should be no problem. now i just need to play as my yanks. cannot wait for march 3rd

One time I never did see where the ball went or what it looked like on the homerun. Luckily I play RTTS where they show it from behind your player, but I can't believe they left that thing in. Most everyone I've seen hates it, but it's still in there.

Did you turn off home run celebrations?

that's why i always turn the home run cam off, i like seeing where the ball's actually going

I played a few games now. One word: Amazing!!!

1. They now have numbers on the helmets, nice touch!

2. I grounded out with Victorino. It showed him handing his helmet to the first base coach. The helmet didn't have side shields. Maybe just a demo thing.

3. Stole a base hit from Upton with Ibanez. Upton went to the dugout and threw his helmet. Noticed that Upton had his hat on. Does he wear his hat under his helmet? If so, awesome attention to detail.

4. I love the new presentation.

Overall, I think this is a huge step forward. Gameplay is much better than last year. I don't even want to put 08 back in knowing that the demo is so much better.

Just played two games with me switching teams each time. The 1st game i was no hit by Kazmir. In the 2nd game I came back and scored 4 runs when i was down 3-0, It sucks that you can't change pitchers because had I faced Lidge I would've lost that game.

I noticed the same thing with Victorino's helmet, maybe just a demo thing.

And I'm about 99.9% sure Upton doesn't wear his hat under his helmet.

Man i wish this would work for me. I already tried this and it didnt work. ARE you playing on 720p?
