Time to delete the demo. Demo-overkill. Next year when the game is released on March 3rd the demo should be released on the morning of March 3rd.

Hahaha, some of the funniest responses ever... and GREAT advice from all of you

I finally got my PS3 yesterday and downloaded the demo last night. Wow. The graphics are just sick. That's the only word I can use to describe it. I've only played one 4-inning game. I held the Rays to just one hit, a two-out triple in the top of the 4th by Crawford. In my first at-bat I hit a solo homer with Rollins and then the only other hit I got was a flare to CF by Hamels in the 3rd. I can't wait for March 3rd.

I dled this demo two days ago and I'm in absolute love with this game.

I liked 08 for a bit and then got bored. I complained time and time again about the hitting system being too simplistic and it killed the game for me.

Well, I'm not sure if maybe I'm just going crazy, but there seems to be a closer to zone-like system this year. If I swing up on a pitch low, I will miss and that has made the game that much more improved for me.

The lighting is absolutely amazing. I always play (pitch and hit) with the outfield cam and seeing the light bounce off Hamels neck and right shoulder was just jaw-dropping. I've seen comments about the shadows affecting people's hitting. I guess I won't ever notice that since I don't play in the catcher cam. But, knowing that's possible is still nice to know.

The player models are simply stunning this year. There is a definite huge improvement from 08. I'm not sure if it's just the lighting that makes it seem that way, but the players definitely look to be in higher res during the pitcher/batter battle. Like Sammy says: "It's so real!"

Replay cam is amazing. Hit variety is phenomenal. I really really like the outfielder cuts to the ball. Such a subtle change that makes the game more realistic.

Interestingly enough, I have played four times and have yet to see a homerun. I find that encouraging.

Oh, and pitch counts are wow and that's without any slider changes.

I was really looking forward to MLB 2k9, but now it's either two games this year or just The Show 09. I really can't get enough of this demo.

just played a game where I had back to back doubles followed by back to back homers. I was the Phils and this is by far my most impressive offensive output thus far with the demo.
