That isn't realistic. For most pitchers it would be, but not for Hamels.

yeah it helps me with my timing, only problem is i then find it hard to tell whether its a ball or strike.

I haven't played the 09 demo. (I know me if I did I'd never make it to the 3rd.) But I thank all of you who did get the demo and shared the experience either in words, pics, or vids. Thanks.

just played a few games of the demo. its GREAT to see they have fixed the fielding as you can now hit doubles down the line. its also possible to hit the ball past the outfielders. to me, this was the biggest issue last year. the game looks and plays great!!! hit variety is amazing. hitting seems more challenging this year which is a good thing. i dont think we will see as many double digit hit games which is also great, and realistic. pitching is perfect in my opinion. they just tweaked it enough to make it a little more challenging. presentation is awesome as usual. scea fixed the things i thought needed fixing (fielding especially). great job scea!!!! and this is only the demo!!!

Considering that they got the pitching coaches, and base coaches dead on, I would say yes.

Scratch that, they are, I remember Utley getting a lecture in the dugout in the demo.
