Last night, Werth was going after a shoe-string catch tailing hard on him, and it hit off the glove and bounced in front of him. It was acknowledged that way via the announcers ... I was impressed!!!

99.9999999% of the time they always caught those last year.

My only gripe, the seams on the ball did not roll or spin, like they do when the ball was in the air. I hope this was fixed, but by far not a game breaker for me since at least there are seams now LOL.

They will miss quite often this year. In the full version I played, I hit a screaming line drive to the outfield and the outfielder came in but the ball was still too high and he reached for it and it skipped off his glove into the corner.

i would advise you not to. This is the common start of slideritis if you ask me.

Find your set of challenging sliders, and stick with it. For example, if you max your hit sliders and do see the double/triple u wanna see, and when you go back to your normla sliders, and you don't see that hit for a while...you're gonna keep wondering if this slider set is flawed.

I've hit ALL kinds of X-B hits ....and here are my sliders on Legend

contact, timing at 0/10
power at 2/10
solid hits 1/10
pitch speed 8/10

ive seen gappers, down the line pull X-B hits, opposite field flares for a triple ....over the head...

don't mess with sliders TOO much....just play the game for a while and you will see different things

WOW!!!

Also there was a hard shot hit to third, and it skipped up the glove into left field. So stoked for the final version.

Also want the record feature so we can capture these via video, the screenshots cant capture those moments good enough!

Good call.

Anyhow, I dont know how you can innovate the game of baseball, but whatever.

PJ, I have to totally disagree with you. It might have been done before, but not this good. They have taken it to the next level. So I disagree. This game does it better than anyone ever has!
