We'll go ahead and reopen this. A couple of users have confirmed that it is up for download. Impressions only, not "I'm downloading, 90% complete..."

I'll reiterate, Impressions ONLY.

Auto fielding! Nice.

I really wanted to get 2k12 because of the MLB Today Season Mode but after playing this demo I'm having serious second thoughts. I'm really disappointed in the look of the game, the graphics look incredibly arcadey. I just wish they would have come out with a demo for The Show so I could make a clear cut decision.

Again - impressions only. This thread is not for questions.

Hit a home run and robbed a home run in my first inning. In the third inning the dynamic tendency system has come into play, been utilizing the 2-seem fastball and the rating of the pitch is now in green and its the best pitch.

2k is making progress with this franchise, not a big improvement but improvements nonetheless.

[MrChainsaw]

Only played one inning because I have to go to work but a few quick impressions:

Base running looks much more believable.
Auto fielding is a welcome addition.
One thing with auto fielding however is it seems like the fielder hesitates for a second before throwing to first. I had two straight grounders hit to Kinsler and he scooped up the ball, stopped for a second and then made the throw. Hopefully this only happens in the demo.
