I'd call it a bug, but not major. It can pretty easily be avoided.

One more quick observation........when I hit a fly ball I sometimes have a hard time seeing the ball, i loose sight of it in the sky. I got a top of the line TV so it aint that, just tough to track the ball in flight sometimes is all. Enjoying the demo

I think the intent is for it to mimic real life a little more. Instead of watching the ball, watch the fielders. That is going to tell you where it is going. You can't hit a ball and stare at it.

In some ways, it is like True Aim in TW 11, in that you don't really get a good view of where it lands. I find that I am appreciating the new hitter's cam the more I play.

Thanks to whoever it is that confirmed that classic controls are still in the game. I will probably use that for hitting but will try the pitching mechanics as it is now though.

Oh and thanks for all the reviews so far. I think I will definitely be picking this up

That doesn't make sense

I played the show demo yesterday and after playing 2k's today i would say that 2k isnt far away from being on the same level as the show. That said here are a few pluses and minuses with 2k11 Pluses +ball coming off the bat felt good +fielding feels very organic, no weird sliding motions +sky and field look great Negatives -after the ball is hit I found it hard to see where the ball was. Especially pop ups and fly balls. -shadows are too dark pixely. I know that's a minor gripe but I expected better. After seriously considering selling all of my 360 stuff to get a ps3 and the show I will now be reconsidering. 2k has closed the gap, thats for sure.

Noda,

They put in a new camera angle after the ball is hit this year. I am not a big fan of it either because you cannot see the ball in the air where as in real life the batter would be able to look up and track the ball. They wanted to get the feel of the batters point of view. I am hoping we can change this angle in the retail version.

one thing if forgot to mention is that you can clearly tell if you great contact or you got bad contact.
