MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Was just playing a game and my right fielder Jason Werth was trying to make a running catch and flat out dropped a fly ball. It poped right out of his glove. And he did not get an error on the play?

Why did they count it as a hit?

Also I was very happy to see an outfielder drop a ball like that because I am pretty sure I have never seen that before in 08.


I just wish it would have been an error on the scorboard.

I would strongly assume that this has been fixed for final release.

That's strange, because the same thing happened to me and it was an error. I was like that's some BS, but in a good way.

Yeah, most of the little things that sent me off in last year's game are either gone or only occur once every 15-20 demo playthroughs.

The best play I've seen is a game-ending DP: I snagged the ball, while running, with Utley, tossed it behind the back to Rollins, who stepped on the bag then gunned it to Howard.

I see a home run a game -- most of the runs I score or allow are via the long bomb -- but other than that, scores are low-to-medium and hard fought. Typically, 0-4 runs with 3-7 hits per side so I'm fine with that for now.

The wife and I cannot wait for the game to come out but, man, I never want to see the Phillies and Rays again once I'm through with the demo.

One last thing -- great work on all the little touches. I'm excited to see how many audio clips and cutscenes will be in the final version. After all, the game will likely be, what, 30 or more GB than the demo? I'm drooling already.

Was it an over the head running attempt? That could the reason it was scored a hit.

He was running in towards the ball.
