How bout everyone just leave it be and lets get back to Demo talk. We get it, you dont like the PM, everyone has said their piece now.

Im hesitant to mess with any sliders in the demo becuase they may nto translate over to the retail version. And i would DEFINITELY like to know what the catcher's signals mean in relation to height and side of the pitch.

You could've just PM'd him back and not subject the rest of us to this nonsense. And yes, you can forward PM's to a mod that you feel are in threats or personal attacks or whatnot.

Back to the demo. Taternuts, I've seen doubles in the gaps but I still havent' seen a flyball hit directly over an outfielder's head. I've had some that were off on angles that they couldn't track down, but none where they just back pedal in a straight line and fail to get to the ball. The outfielders still seem to play extremely deep.

Ive noticed the deep play also. Everytime i have Utley, Howard or (i think ) Victorino up, the outfield starts out close to the warning track.

Ya I agree that the outfielders still seem to play too deep in the demo

I still have not seen a ball go "directly" over an outfielders head in the demo

Only situation I have seen is when the outfielder can't track down the ball in the gap and it goes over him which is still a new improvement this year

I had a ball go straight over a fielder's head. It hit the wall.

Good to hear.....Was it on a routine fielding play or were you running back attempting to rob a HR that just didn't go out ????

Dude that is uncalled for. Who ever did this needs to grow up!!! I would give it to a mod. If we have people like this then they need to leave.

I guess we have to rememeber it is just a demo. I am sure they had to let some things out of hit. So I bet when the real game comes out, it will have more of a hit variety.
