I know right. This IGN hands-on was horrible. Hopefully Gamespot does a better job.

Half the "new" things mentioned in this preview are not new (button based throwing to bases, hurry up baseball). I take anything in this article with a giant grain of salt.

The easy solution would be not to use it but not sure why they felt the need to add something like that? To me it should be part of the contact swing and based on the batter's ability to fight off pitches. What the hell do I know, lol!

Take it more as a two strike swing you know make contact cut down on the swing avoid a strikeout

I also hope that they didn't get rid of Single A clubs.

I am really interested to see what they did with the MLB Today feature (keep in mind I never played NBA 2k10 so if it is the exact same I won't know the difference).

Yeah me either, but if getting rid of Single-A teams is the Key to having no roster limitations. I am all down for it.

One of the largest internet gaming sites out there and they failed to touch on two of the things this game's previous version failed at, CPU batting tendencies and fielding. All he mentioned about fielding is that there is alternate button mapping to throw.

It really bothers me that these "professionals" spend 3 hours with a game and walk away with very little useful information.

I wouldn't hold my breath, they do just about the same thing. And have a non sports guy preview/review things.

We have to wait till sports gaming sites like this one gets their hands on unfortunately. At least there will be specific things looked for when that happens.
