Yeah I've noticed the same thing, kind of weird. A couple times on bunts my pitcher will run right by ball.

lol, I FINALLY know what it's like to get a 7th inning rally. I was down by 3, and my team scores 4 runs in the 7th to take the lead! This coming after my team SUCKED so badly(2 hits in 6 innings at POLO GROUNDS!) cause the CPU pitcher is addicted to throwing the borderline pitch by my guys knees where 90% of the time it's called a strike, but if I swing at it, it's an easy groundball to 2B/SS

Playing time: 2 exhibition games and 5 franchise mode

So far loving the tweaked ball physics, really nice improvement! Flyballs that should be gettting into the gap are, far more realistic and not always getting cut off. Pitching seems tougher, so far in my franchise my starters have been getting rocked early and often.

I've apparently been one of the lucky ones that hasn't had the stutter problem. Smooth as butter so far for me. (knock on wood)

Crazy game at Polo Grounds.

Cards took early 4-0 lead
Reds made it 4-1, then huge 7th inning rally(FINALLY in my favor) made it 5-4
Cards came back and tied it in top of 9th to make it 5-5
In bottom of 9th, just 2nd pitch in, Choo hits a walkoff home run!


Can't remember last game I drew multiple UNINTENTIONAL walks!

CPU threw 64% of pitches for strikes.

I'm still having HUGE trouble identifying these non fastball pitch speeds.

Of 20 curves thrown, 15 I swung at early.

I'm hoping a patch does fix this. The fastball speeds are fine, but anything under 90mph seems like 15-20mph slower than the actual speed listed(so a 75mph curve looks like a 60mph knuckleball)

Is there something I'm missing? Cause Rogers Centre roof isn't closed, so it's essentially like any other stadium....

Though one thing I did notice, was how sometimes, guys randomly worse diff jerseys(In practice, I saw Bautista wearing the throwback Jays jersey, and other times it's just the normal jersey). I don't even know how to choose jerseys in practice mode, but somehow it switched

A little late to the party this year but I now am on board with MLB 13 The Show. Picked up the PS3 and Vita versions and paid less than $30 (thanks to gift cards and trades) for both games.

Not sure how much time I'll get to play in the next few days, but I will definitely post impressions after a couple of games.
