Agree, probably my favorite new addition! Only problem is it might take me forever to finish my season as I will want to watch a LOT of games for sure.

It appears that the throwing meter is still broken in this years game at least judging by the demo. There is no rhyme or reason to the result you get. Pressing down or barely tapping the throw button yields wildly unpredictable results. The MVP series did this so well.

It sucks that pitchers, at least in the demo still make contact just as easily as everyday players (Playing On All Star). Although it seems that no baseball game has ever really been able to get this right. Why?

Disappointing by a demo? I am kinda reserving until March 4th. I did not used the throwing meter last year. I think in the demo it is cool. I recall there are no meters during live baseball. Turn the throwing meter off and just rely on the individual attributes..

The demo is a build of the game that is from Mid-December. Don't pass judgements on the retail game based on this.

Probably because as humans, we're trying to make contact with everything. In real life, a pitcher rarely, if ever, is actually trying to make solid contact. They're just trying to get the at-bat overwith as soon as possible.

Merged "Disappointing" thread into the Impressions thread. That's why you're seeing some odd post placement.

Carry on.
