Even if you have the strike zone turned off, you can still view it by pressing R2.

For guess pitching lets say i guess the pitch right in real life where is my extra un-natural boost?

So when you are ahead in the count and are expecting say a high fastball, and get it, you didn't feel that that advantage gave you an extra lift?

to each his own I guess.

I just played a game where I was batting for both teams. I got thrown out on a close play at first (I was Iwamura) and he started arguing with the ump and got tossed! Oh and I didn't know Chris Coste's stance was so wild....he was put in as a pinch hitter and again whoa!

I wish 09 had better throwing animations especially for outfielders... example; when they catch a fly-ball and try and throw a runner out that is tagging up, they don't look like they get enough behind the throw...their arm should wind-up and follow-through more...but it 09, they do a crow-hop and throw a short-armed throw that somehow gets a lot behind it. This needs to be fixed to look more realistic...

this is probably a dumb question but how long is the demo gonna be up for download. i haven't had a ps3 very long so i haven't gotten a chance to download any demos. I just ask because the earliest i can get home is Friday and i just want to make sure that the demo will still be there.

Yes I feel i have an extra advantage when i guess the pitch but I have a mental advantage. In real life if I guess a pitch correct a red dot isnt going to come up on the screen and give me a couple seconds to get ready and muscle up and crank it over the wall. I turn it off so when I guess right I have that mental preparation advantage which prepares me to hit the ball where i want to. Thats what i mean.

I dont believe they care for taking them off to much. Just dont worry ur going to be fine and plus u can get tips here and talk with us so when u do get the demo you can criticize it and express your views here for the OS TEAM to consider and take into account for the opinions
