lol i dont mean to burst anyones bubble but i dont know why people are makign it sound like Legent is unbeatable. HOF last year was mediocre and this year Legend is just challengable which is good and I sure cant wait for those sliders to be used to change it. I threw the ball right down the middle every time and i won on legen, no strike one or hot zone or guess pitch or API like 4-1. I didnt mean it to sound like i was sayign ohh look at e i just saying Legend is highly beatable but it is also challenging im just waiting for your sliders Knight

They are saying this, because the mode that has been tweaked in the near final build they all played in San Diego, was BRUTAL, compared to the one you are playing in the demo.

Yes, that's exactly it.

The bet we had was, within the short time we had with the game, it would be difficult to beat the best team's number ONE starter on Legend.

No one is saying it is impossible. It's just difficult. And, although I've said it before, the demo you're playing is in no way a reflection of how hard Cole Hamels and Scott Kazmir and their respective teams to beat were in the build we played.

I can beat the demo's Legend difficulty at a pretty good clip. About .500 actually. The build we played was much more difficult. Then again, I'm not looking for sock colors, jersey corrections and trash/flags blowing in the wind.

Nothing else to say but "you'll see."

....Sony....



A select few were flown out to Sony to play the game and provide feedback before it was finished. I'm guessing by your question you haven't followed the boards much lately.

Does it reach the point of unrealistic hard? Like am I going to be dropping 0-2 curveballs on the corner and they're just going to reach out and poke it over the RF fence? Or is it just a "don't leave anything over the middle" kind of thing?
