the faster pace of game is a selling point for me! I only played one game and kept looking for framerate drops but didn't see any with a 360 slim. I never play more than one season, so i'm looking forward to the MLB today season mode this year.

After playing the demo I can say that Im glad its not my only choice.
I admit it plays a little better than last year but for some reason pitching wasnt as fun as it has been in years prior.
Infielders seem to move with lightning speed and outfielders chug along until after the ball is caught.
I havent seen one line out to an infielder which is awesome and have seen some nice shots to the gaps.
I personally cannot stand the horrid fielding/baserunning camera when up at bat. I hate it!!!!!
Graphically the player models do look a bit smoother but still look plastic and those fielding gloves still look awful. The game still has this flat 2D look but then again 2K did say that graphics werent in the budget this year.
If I was an xbox owner and this was my only choice then I'd purchase and play it for what it is, a decent offering.
But I know this will not be on my list this year for a second year in a row.

I played a bit more and the game is a fun game. I think I'll be picking up the combo pack (MLB and nba 2k12) shortly after release.

I also like the MLB today feature. Great game to just pick up and play IMO.

Play 1 game. You can see improvements on the outside. I really want to see the improvement under the hood.

Animations look good. I wonder if these new catcher animations will be in the full version because with no one on base the catcher seems to be on Red Bull.

The default camera makes it hard to see these new ball physics 2k talked about. I really wish they would let us change the difficulty because the game felt like it was on Pro as always.

Can't wait til Tuesday for the full version

played the demo quit a bit and thought it was pretty decent. loved the new pitching and hitting, i will definately be getting this because i haven't gotten a baseball game since 2k7 which was a great game. can't wait for the mlb season today mode.

I may be misunderstanding the MLB today feature, but in essence you are really only playing one game a day (the current day schedule) and if you miss a day it sims it for you right?

But yah, the demo seems pretty good from what i played, though Demo's don't always tell the whole story of a game from past experiences

I came on the forums just to post about this issue. Like seriously 2k? Can the catcher throw the ball back any faster???? that animation looks TERRIBLE

However hitting is pretty satisfying
