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

[Skyboxer]

I'm getting better and better with analog. Still love the Zone hitting though. Really hope to get my copy before weekend. I can't wait to dissect the gameplay and get settings that fit me. Checking stats and just "being at the ballpark"

Really hope SCEA knows the joy they bring to baseball fans

I'm not a Rangers fan (well, not a Texas Rangers fan-lol) but CJ Wilson led the AL in walks last season with 93.
Jonathan Sanchez led MLB with 96.

Anyway, back to the demo impressions.
I hit a little swinging bunt out in front of the plate with Tejada. The Texas catcher (whose name I cant remember), rather than throw the ball having no chance of getting the out, faked a throw and just held the ball.

I feel I'm actually getting the hang of analog hitting. I spent the last 5 or 6 games switching back and forth so I could just bat and I feel my timing is getting better.
I then tried a game earlier where I just pitched and didn't have as much success. I got rocked by both teams.

I didn't really know where to put this so I'll put it here. I'm hoping this year they fixed some framerate issues I (and some others) encountered last year. Day games were fine, except for some places like Nationals Park, but during night games, the game got really hitchy. Maybe it was just my TV, but hopefully they got that fixed.

Ya hard line drives became an eye sore. Havent noticed as much I dont think through demo.

I would like to see what others thought of the new player models. To me, they look strange again, for some reason SCEA can't do elbows, wrists, and shoulders. The models look like all they did was stretch the arms and too much so. The first base ump looks like snaggletooth from star wars. I can't understand why they have such a hard time with the player models

Just a minor thing, but I see that the dropped ball four=error charged to the catcher bug is still in there. Don't know if they can fix that or not.

Anyway, I'm super jealous of these people getting the game early. Can't wait for tuesday to pick up the game, a new controller, and jump into a practice season.

I would have bought this if it was nothing more than a roster update, so the improvements I'm seeing in the demo, along with the claim of improved trade logic, bullpen usage, ect., have me very excited about tearing the wrap off this bad boy.

I have been playing the Show now for about two and a half years and have never thrown a no-hitter. Well I just got done playing a game in the demo and you will never guess what I did.....

It was funny because I was struggling scoring but as the game got later and later I almost didn't want to score so I could get it haha. I ended up hitting a game winning double with Cody Ross to acquire my first ever no hitter, that just happened to be in a demo haha.

Here's proof
