I just noticed this last night, and started watching it more, and found my catcher to "double pump" the throw back to the pitcher..And he must have done it 10 times in a row. Does he do it everytime? Got to be really annoying.

First off I'd like to say I love the analog controls! I'm struggeling the most with fielding in high pressure situations. I find myself pressing the R stick often all the way which result in lots of wild throws but I'm getting better

The dusk sunset skies look gorgeous and I'm really digging catcher view 3 while batting. The crowd feels more alive and reacting more properly...
but I still find the crowd reaction to homeruns by the home teams too late. When the ball leaves the bat and it could be a goner the crowd should allready light up and fully explode when its out of the park but the crowd still only gets loud when its over the fence and not in advance.

Little personal annoyance:

The pitch history graphic on my tv is still the same as in 10. Which means that I can hardly see the difference in colours from the balls thrown. Maybe my old hd ready tv had its best time but up untill '10 it was perfectly clear!

And since '10 you can only bring up the pitch history while having guess pitch or pitch/swing info on. This was not the case in '08 and '09. No biggy but I just want as little things as possible on the screen but for me to keep this option I must have the guess pitch in the HUD.

Little idea:

During the stat overlays, for example the RBI leaders overlay, it displays a list of the top 8(?) or something like that and the guy they're talking about is somewhere in that list. I always find myself scanning that list to find the place he is listed. Wouldn't it be much easier to just highlight that player so we don't have to look for him ourselves?

Ok very small details but that only means I find the game that good

CJ Wilson just hit a soft line drive to right field and my RF picked it up off of one hop and threw him out at 1st base lol. He is slowwwww

Tie game, top 4th runners on first and second. Hamilton hits a shallow grounder to third. I sprint into action trying to turn a quick two. Sandoval takes his sweet time gloving the ball and throwing to second base. Andrus slides into second easily. All runners are safe.

I agree. VERY annoying. The batter wasn't even in the way for the catcher to have a reason to double-pump the throw back to the pitcher. I do like though that I saw the catcher seems to snap his wrist moe when throwing back. I really liked that.

Ok I was playing late lastnight and Kinsler had a HUGE lead at first. I threw the pitch and then threw down to first with Posey to try and catch Kinsler off the bag. Well i caught him off the bag and he was in no mans land. But the first baseman just tossed the ball back to the pitcher and Kinsler trotted to second. I had no control over it and it would not let me get him in the run down. Not sure if this has happend to anyone else but it happend to me lastnight

Another little thing I noticed playing last night they fixed Adrian Beltre's stance this year. His left foot is no longer outside the batters box standing on the home plate. Hopefully, this means that all the stances like that from last year are fixed.

I'm with you there. I flat out can't tell the difference in color without going right up to the tv. I 've never had any vision problems and I don't think your HD ready tv is the problem either. I have a full HD 1080P tv and I have the same exact problem.
