MLB 11 The Show Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

[Buckeyes_Doc]

I downloaded the demo earlier and played for an hour. Game looks great as expected. I tried the analog hitting for a little bit and it is challenging. I think I'll stick to zone hitting. I prefer to press a button to swing then to move an analog stick anyways. I have enough of a challenge with zone hitting. I like the analog fielding though, and fielding will actually be challenging this year (I thought it was too easy and dry in past versions). I didn't try pitching as I only play RTTS and I'm a position player.

I'm glad SCEA gave us so many options with hitting, fielding, and pitching. Those of you who are going to stick with analog hitting good luck, I'm happy with zone!

If only other sports games had as many options as the Show does. More options is better us gamers.

this years 'hand on the helmet during home run trot'?

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

so has this not happend to anyone else?

Could be just the demo build. Because at the CE they were definitely improved over 10. So it should translate into final I would imagine.

Has anyone commented on the ball flight on fly balls? Does anyone else notice that nearly every ball curves significantly to the left? Even off of left handed hitters bats. Hamilton hit a deep fly to what looked like was left center and the catch ring (ball) continued to tail all the way to the LF line. I have seen this more than ever in this game. 10' had a great variety of ball flight patterns.

Sorry if its already been said, but I am not about to read through every post.

Turn the wind slider down.

Yes...the wind is at 18 MPH by default in the demo.

In the demo, the wind is always blowing 18 mph, in from right field...and slight angled towards left.

I've played dozens of games, and the wind doesn't change.
