Me either. The check swings are working fine, maybe even more responsive than last year.

I love the check swings...I used them extensively last year but as the guys have mentioned they are tied in attributes...A majority of the Phils I have no problem checking with but with Werth and Howard it seems to be a little bit more difficult.

One thing that is a little annoying thus far is whenever I take a lead with Rollins, Kazmir is throwing over.

Restarting your ps3 did the job? I was thinking of deleting the demo and downloading ot again. to see if that fixed the problem

In the full game you would turn down pickoff frequency. It is an easy fix.

Yes, they switch stations.

Im from seattle if you can't tell. Keep the vids coming! My ps3 is down for the count right now so all I have to go by is the pics/vids, and they look amazing. Thanks scea, seriously. Looks like a great game.

Ibanez

OKay, that's all the videos for tonight.

good to know.

I wasn't bothered by it, it just so happened that while I was responding about check swings I was trying to get a lead with him to steal and he kept throwing over...lol

I have absolutely no complaints about this game at all.

Quick question for you guys though...The transition from light to dark is a little quick...I am assuming that it for demo purposes only correct?

The "hands higher, bent knees" Pena is what you will see in the shipping game....if he decides to lower his hands at some point in the season...well, you are on your own then.... Enjoy the demo! And enjoy the game! Chris

Honestly... it's pretty damn close.

In the version we played I did not notice quick transitions from light to dark. I have to check the demo to see it.

i heard that the red circles with the blue arrows weren't going to be there this year, when your playing on auto fielder it's still there. only on the user not the cpu. Does anyone know if it's in the upcoming game as well?

I got a 2 out bases loaded blooper between SS and LF that scored 2 runs. I actually pumped my fist!

# 236 nemesis04 @ 02/06/09 01:38 AM

You will also see some cool seeing eye singles through the infield this year too!

# 237 theaub @ 02/06/09 01:38 AM

I am getting absolutely destroyed on legend. I like.

I played '08 on the exact same setup last year. I don't see why something would get that much worse over one year of bettering the game.

I hope not. It should be night time by the 3rd/4th inning, and that's represented well in the demo and I hope in the retail version.

I do see some lag during pitches, that better be cleared up by release day.... all in all should be a great game when nem is done tweaking and knight completes his rosters

I was planning to take the year off in 09! No?
