Major League Baseball 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Ok, I played the demo like ten times yesterday and on multiple occasions on ground balls to the infield, when I push the right stick to first I end up throwing to third... I thought maybe it was me the first time, but after a few more I am starting to get suspicious. Just a thought..

For anyone playing the DEMO can you check in the Classic Hitting Option if the Sub-Menu is accesible & if so what do ya see? Trying to confirm if Zone Hitting is still in.

You can't change anything (or even access anything) in the demo. Not even the bullpen...

Pitching is real good, though it would be nice to be able to read the type on the pitch selection screen. Also, too easy to throw strikes (hopefully sliders can fix this) and umpires have too big a strike zone.

Fielding, though they apparently fixed the dropped flyball and 1B foot off the bag issues from last year, doesn't seem as fluid as it should be. Whenever there's a base hit, it seems like I'm scrambling to hit the right button to control the OF, who is stationary even though the ball it hit towards him, which results in a late jump on the ball. 3B and SS jump to throw to 1B on routine ground balls.

Batting I'm not sure about. CPU pitching still too accurate, too many strikes. Not sold on the batting view yet.

Graphically, it's improved, but the numbers on the unis are atrocious, quite an eyesore when you're pitching. How could they mess up something that had been fine? Just plain stupid.

Overall, it's a potential rental and definitely a wait-and-see after several credible reviews and a lot of forum feedback.

Doug you can. When you pause the game, toggle on the R Analog & the Controller Options will appear

Quick question with this, when you bring up the different controller pics the one you leave up is the mode it changes to?

During the batter's eye, it will show the location of the pitch with a blue line on the strike zone. If it's down the middle, the outside of the zone will all be outlined in blue.
