I agree, I remember the ASB vs High Heat battles like that. No one can dictate to anyone what they are supposed to like. You like something well, because YOU like it!

I made some bad purchases before I learned that lol!

Bottom line, I don't rely on demos to make my decision about a game. I know everyone can't afford to blow $120 to buy both games and choose which one they like the best...but there are other avenues such as renting the full game before making a judgement.

But that is the choice I make when I decide between games. Hell, I'm just happy to have a choice unlike football.

It seems like a lot of people have their own agendas and stances, but i'll be damned if I ever let a message board tell me which game to buy.

The MLB 2K11 demo is great as well as the Show's both games have an incredible fun factor to them so you really can't go wrong with either game....I'm not gonna get into which game is better as I believe as it is a VIDEO GAME you should have fun playing it and the fact of which game is better is merely personal opinion....so on that this Tuesday I want everyone to PLAY BALL!!

I haven't bought a 2K for a while so maybe this has been an ongoing thing, but in the demo, the pitcher was fielding every pop fly hit near him, even once in foul territory by the dug out on the 1st base side, while the catcher was next to him watching. I could care less as it's more funny than annoying but has it been this way in past versions??

If you don't switch to another fielder, then YES the pitcher will do that because he is the last player your controlling

Ok thanks, makes sense! What was funny was that the AI pitcher is who I was referring to! Like I said, not a big deal, but I will use MY fielders just in case, since their fielding rating is much better, just to be safe!

Usually I download the demo every year, but I haven't downloaded it this year because I'm running out of space on my PS3...I was going to delete some stuff but I read on another forum how some 2K fans were once again disappointed with it...so I thought heck if even the fanboys are disappointed, forget that. But at the end of the day I'm a baseball fan, so tonight I'll download it and play it tomorrow.

I hate the demo. I will always be a cursor hitting guy and realize the World Series hitting cursor from 94 and 2k4 will not be back anytime soon. What bothers me about that is that I get the feeling like the game is playing itself for me instead of me playing the game. It just at times feels like a QTE in Shenmue or God of War. I don't feel like I have any "control" over what is taking place either good or bad.

I understand Inside edge is a big part of the game but in my opinion calculated random events have taken over far to much of this series. The days where skill decided if you hit a fly ball or grounder has now bee replaced with random outcomes to give you a "feel' like you can make a difference but I don't feel that way at all. I might as just have the AI play each other and me watch.
