Lots of exciting things can happen on broken up double plays. I know this may sound harsh but to me for a baseball game on these advanced consoles in 2009 to not have collision detection is not acceptable at all. Alot older baseball games on far less powerful systems had this. PLEASE FIX THIS FOR NEXT YEAR.

I have to agree with this. It's actually pretty horrible. I had a left fielder dive into the left field foul wall just to hit it with his head and the animation continued with him sliding his out stretched arm against the wall.... Same with outfielders running through each other, or a player walking holding the bat at both ends with his hands and the hand being inside the bat on on end. It would be awesome to see ragdoll physics implemented. These are things that I don't think will be fixed in the final version...

man, I am playing on veteran with pitch speed all the way down, HUMAN contact and TIMING all the way up, and I am still getting like 2-3 hits per game only. Do these sliders work? I really dont notice a difference. Or is it just me still sucking cuz Im new to ps3 and the show?? LOL

Finally had a break through game on Legend and put up 5 runs through 4 innings.

But gave up 6 and lost the game.

Sorry for the confusion, I was disturbed by the 2nd baseman not picking up the ball. The shortstop was covering 2nd. But the 2nd baseman clearly should have picked the ball up.

Not to complain (yea, to complain), but I thought the issue with balls going through fielders was resolved or am I wrong here?

Last night, I had a play with a runner on first. The ball was hit sharply to Utley's right. He goes into an animation to move to the ball, yet, because I'm also reacting to the ball, I basically move him out of that animation. As a result, he ends up running and the ball goes right through his torso allowing the runner on first to move safely to second.

What bothered me the most was that there were two outs and the very next hitter hit a 3-run homerun to take a 3-0 lead. Since it's a demo, I just let it slide. If that were during a season game, I would be visibly upset.

Any word on whether or not this has been fixed since this demo's build? It's a frustrating thing that I used to see a lot in the outfield that now seems corrected. Yet, I just saw it pop up last night for an infielder. First and only real issue I've seen since dling the demo. Well, that and making me stay up late playing 4 innings of baseball.

Problem in the demo, fixed in the final.

I hope so because that is an annoying bug in '08. I encountered a similar play last night. But it was in my favor.
