Watched the vid posted and love the pitching and batting views. Players look great. The pitch analyzer will be awesome as I hate when I play a game and screw something up and 'think' I did the correct motion. Now I'll be able to see what I did wrong. I can't wait to DL the demo after work today.

As far as not being able to swing i have no idea what you're doing unless you're just really, really late with your swing? I'm having no problems at all.

Thanks....I finally figured out the ring(right over my head.....)...and yes...I could be terribly late. I'm that bad at hitting.

Thanks again.

Can you try and take a 4th extra step (4 pulls of the trigger) and see if it draws an automatic thow every time. Maybe try the same scenario with Johnson and Jeter.

Basically last year, once you clicked the L trigger the 4th time, the computer would throw over..they would litterally do it 100 times in a row with no change in outcome. Just trying to see if this has changed to become less automatic.

Another thing I would like to ad is the defensive swing mechanic is pretty awesome, this looks quite fluent. How can they not implement a check swing though? Are they really going to patch that in or is this another empty promise?

thanks for the tip

I really like this a lot also. It adds a new dimension to the hitting battling back when you're down in the count. The contact swing is really good for 1 and 2 hitters that don't have power or hitters late in the batting order.

I think so. Someone said something about a patch on release date for this. I was thinking about how they are going to implement it. I hope that they make it a press of the button, it feels so natural. If they make it tied to the stick, i think it will be pretty much useless like it has been in the past.
