That's the same thing I said to mself. Gonna replay it and make sure I did not miss something.

Played a quick game as the Phillies

+Love the pitching- they've really nailed it, its a lot of fun
+Super smooth framerate- the game is silky smooth
+Nailed the signature stances/swings- I struck out swinging with Howard and it was nice to see his long swing nailed pretty well
+Cano hit a long double off the wall against me and the park definitely seems to play "bigger"- he easily had a double and made the turn at 2nd
+CPU doesn't only throw strikes- I worked a 4 pitch walk with Werth to start off an inning against Burnett... ratings seem to matter!
-CPU was kinda selective at the plate, but not enough to my liking, hopefully sliders will be able to remedy that

Within 2 minutes of playing, one can easily tell the improvements that have been made over the abominations of the last few years- this is somebody who has hated this series for a while.

Teixeira beat me on a walk-off single past Polanco with 2 outs... lame

I was just getting ready to post this. I had to watch it twice because I thought I missed something. Seems to be a cpu slip up.

Just ac ouple negatives I did notice:

- There can still be some wonky animations/transitions during the real time presentation stuff (walk speeds, players bumping into each other, etc)

- It looks like the umpires and base coaches still just chill on the field even though the game has ended

Definite improvement
Love the pitching
Hate hitting with swing stick
Presentation top notch despite no commentary
Fielding has been improved.
Ballparks are bigger in The Show it seems
Played The Show '09 last nite and I still feel the gameplay flows more naturally in that game.
360 fans should be happy.
If you have both consoles, I really don't see a need to buy both games.

Why do the fastballs have so much arc? They look like circle changeups.

Has anyone else noticed this?

[Blazzen]

MUCH IMPROVED. Better across the board.

Only negatives I've noticed so far:

Not enough space down the lines or the outfielders play too close to the lines. Line drives down the lines should result in doubles but most are long singles.

I had runners at first and second nobody out and decided to bunt them over. Bunted to the third baseman, the pitcher covered third but not in time and the CPU threw to third way late instead of taking the out at first. It could've been because Gardner was bunting and he's fast, only play might've been at first but the play was somewhat suspect.

Overall though, this game is MUCH improved, I'm LOVING it thus far. Can't wait to play with my Braves!!!

Thanks for the video upload. It looks REALLY GOOD. Everything is silky smooth! I am very very close to ordering this game, however I am still worried about the CPU free swinging. Rollins, the #2 hitter, and Howard all swung first pitch and put the balli n play, but then Jason Werth and the next hitter both had a nice realistic at-bats. I am not sure what to think about this.
