So far it seems like you can check swing way more easily online, thank Jebus. (Like Russ, I check swing a TON, and so that's probably why I've noticed so far.)

This game is a fielding patch from perfection!!!! The next great jump in the series will be when we jump to the next gaming platform. the camera should auto zoom to the ball and the player closet to it in the outfield...to many times the cpu gets extra bases because I am unable to locate ground balls in the outfield.The shortstop does not respond to ground balls quick enough, the infielders should auto align based on the count and hitter.....great game , very addictive

Good review.

I agree with you DDW. This game is one step away from sports greatness if they can spruce up the fielding a bit and then give the presentation that much needed overhaul. The commentary still bugs me in '11, but I have not played that much yet. It still has that dry feeling and it needs something more.

If it is the same game as last year, I will buy the other game, the show isnt as good as the other game i'm tired of listening to the masses and then I glance at the other game and I am blown.awayy.by the life and energy put into the presentation and lively commentary. When will the show Improve presentation?

The Fielding is really my only gripe (base running to a lesser degree). Find the same issues you do with guys falling in the outfield allowing singles to turn into doubles and triples, being able to have the right fielder chosen once the ball is hit sometimes is clunky. That is why I use auto fielding. Looks amazing, and purely ratings based.

Everything else is just amazing and this is GOAT along with NBA 2K11!!!!

Gentleman we have reached the pinnacle of sports gaming for baseball and basketball thus far. No doubt.

It is not the same game as last year, and don't be delusional.
