More a long the same lines, eg. running themselves out of innings, not covering, standing and not moving, not throwing to the correct base etc. Like I said I will try the finished version to see if it is cleaned up. Not following baseball fundamentals just irritates me.

There are definitely bright spots in the game and overall it is much better then last year but the AI needs some baseball fundamentals training.

Agreed. I like what 2K has done this year, but they seem to keep neglecting the fundamentals of the gameplay. It's great to add new features and such to keep your game new, but they need to focus on the game itself much more.

Also, after 6 or 7 demo playthroughs, Ive finally decided I dont like the default pitcher cam at all - it makes the pitches look a bit weird. Im going to adjust it alot when i get the full retail version. I liked 2k9's default pitcher camera much better.

My first demo game was a day game and I was shocked at how weak the graphics looked. Not sure why, but night games do look better. It just seems like 2K is trying to overcompensate with camera angles and colors to make up for not up to par next-gen graphics. Definitely not blown away visually as I hoped to be.

I think the Doubles "issue" will be resolved with slider tweaks. Right now it looks like the power needs to come down and the Skill slider needs to be raised.

The proper balance of those two sliders have always been the key to getting a good variance of hit types. With a higher Skill setting the ball comes off of the bat a lot quicker. The abnormal amount of singles seem like a problem with outfielder depth but if the ball is hit harder the depth makes more sense. Additionally, the outfielders won't be able to cut off every ball hit down the lines and into the gaps.

The Demo has been fun! Looking forward to playing the full game! Just a few minor gripes:

- The fielders seem to get to everything...even smashes up the middle. (I know..."Sliders")

- I wish I had more control over my infielders. On ground balls just to the left or the right, The AI seems to take over and get to the ball for you. All I get to do is make the throw.

- I was hoping for an option to remove the strike zone. Sometimes I feel that it obstructs my view of the ball coming off the pitchers hand.

Other than that, Great Job 2k!!

Oh Yeah, In 8 games with the demo I have yet to split the gaps. I guess its just my timing!!!!

Thanks for listening..........
