Keeping it to baserunning... (2) Are take-out slides in this year? (3) Overall I hope baserunning is fixed, especially stealing, since it was near impossible to successfully steal w/ the best of base stealers.

Yes to this question. It showed it in one of the trailers.

How does fielding work in my player mode?

Will the ability to view your opponent's line-up card and bench be improved?

Specifically, 2K9 failed to provide the R/L info for hitters and pitchers without serious digging. 2K8 brought up a line-up card with all of this information at the press of button in game.

Are the hitting stats realistic this year?

for example are there still WAY too many home runs hit?

Also, when is the demo coming out? (If there is one)

This is a very good question. I second it.

Also the amatuer draft:

(1) When does it occur in franchise mode? End of season, or in June as supposed?
(2) Are issues w/ the created players fixed? i.e. most SPs being the size of Scott Kazmir.
(3) Is the draft order fixed? It was not at an inverse of the previous years standings as it should be.

It's in June this year, I don't think many people picked up on it when looking at the screenshots on the GI blog.

I second the question about viewing the lineup card in-game.

Assuming 2K leagues will be functional, how will pitchers' (and for that matter, players') stamina be handled? Will we see relatively normative fatigue from game to game or will everyone start fresh every game? Thx in advance.
