I think it does. This is the first time I am able to actually work the count and see pitches better, and I am very impatient at the plate. It just comes easy for me. i'm not sure if it's because of the camera or the help from the pitch locater. The hit stick is very responsive, so when you do have a deep count, it does help to chop it away. You just have to make sure your timing is on. That's probably the hard part, timing.

It makes sense to use it when you should. It's not something that is substantial on its own, but it does what it was put in place for.

Thanks! I hope to try it out soon.

I have to disagree there. I have struck out several just looking and this is with no slider adjustment. This is something they have fixed and it's obvious when you pitch correctly. After last year, and doing so much to try and fix that issue on my own, this demo shows they fixed the CPU swinging at everything issue.

I'm getting high counts and several batters looking at strikes. And that's just 3 games in.

Impressions sound very good. Can't wait to get home from work to try it. Quick question. ...... is that stupid dust cloud trail when running gone?

After about 2 hours of waiting to download...lol


Love what i'm playing...I love the new steal, how they slow it down when sliding into the base. thought that was pretty cool. Only played 1 game, due to my son waking up and wanting something to eat, then not wanting to go back to sleep. So i'll have to get back on it when he goes to sleep.

On defense, I keep forgetting I can preload my throw, and it makes the animation look so much better. The Yanks turned a nice DP on me. Wish I could replay it myself. I'm officially hype about this game now, and glad I pre-orderded it.

Anybody tried the mound visit?

Demo played good for me.. I liked the "Hip hip Jor-hee" chants in the background..

I liked that 2k also slowed down the gameplay from last year a little..

Pitch counts seemed realistic too.. The AI had 35 pitches in 3 innings..
