I only saw it the most when I was pitching. It was a ridiculous amount.

Nice colorful roster interface / layout. That's cool, I'll be seeing it a lot.

After playing 7 full games, with no pitch count here are my impressions:

- really miss pure analog hitting. I'm late for fastball, early for changeup. I just can't get my timing right. My timing was always relative to the stride, which was relative to the pitching motion. Now, that I don't have to stride, I cannot time my hitting. Hopefully it only takes a little time to get used to

- there are too many flyball outs. I had only 2 double plays in the 7 games, and I use the RedSox who have a lot of groundball pitchers.

- Graphics are great

- haven't received my card pack for playing 14

Guys who played 14 did you get your gold rewards when you installed 15?

Nope. I got 4 silver items (a batting glove, one DD card, a ritual item, and a minor league park). Also did not get my 12k Stubs for the Anniversary edition, but did get the 6 packs of cards when I entered the code on Playstation Store. Pre-ordered from Gamestop, if that matters. I saw a couple people saying they did eventually get their stuff, planning to log in again this evening and see if things sync....

Have you tried incorporating the stride in your swing anyway? Just curious if it can be done as that is what I am hoping to do as it helps my timing.

Haven't played the game yet so I didn't test it myself.

Are you talking about pitching into double plays? Cause I've played 2 games, and hit into probably 6 or 7 double plays already.

I did as soon as I fired up the game last night.
