Not necessarily, but it DOES make a difference pending on how far ahead or behind you are in the count.

It's a GREAT addition this year and it REALLY makes you "think" during your at-bats, because you get your choice...love it!

I came across a familiar glitch today. I hit a two-run bomb with Nelson Cruz but was only credited with one run, one rbi and Beltre stayed on first.

Hopefully this won't make it into the retail version.

I would call that more than a glitch. Hopefully that does get fixed.

I remember that EXACT glitch in MLB '09, but SCEA fixed it for '10 ... wonder why it's even there?

Has anyone mentioned the dirt effects on the infield? You'll see footprints, slide marks etc. Then every 3 innings they get cleaned up by the grounds crew. Almost positive this wasn't in '10.

Seams to me there is more jaggies in this years game ... yes I have tried 720p and 1080p but opposed to last years game which I feel has less jaggies. Like the facemask on the catcher, nike swoosh on cleats and the B and K after each pitch look worse to me. Any one else feel that way? Is the demo going to be the same as the final release?

Whoever made the post on Beltre, the dude is a BEAST in the field in this game. Playing with the Giants, if you hit it to the left side of the infield with Beltre and Andrus, there is a very slim chance it's getting through.

When I played as the Rangers though, I was getting balls down the third base line and in between 3rd and short without much issue. The work that has been done with fielder ratings is unbelievable. They've got two guys at different ends of the talent spectrum on defense in Beltre and Sandoval, and it definitely shows.

Totally agree even in the outfield. Torres was so fast to the ball, but not because of good jumps, but more because of his speed. Hamilton different story he got great jumps and made the plays easy. I love the player momentum too. I also love how that had the exchange rule. I made the out but as I was getting the ball out of the glove he dropped it, but the ump said it is an out. It was a great animation too.
