That is certainly not the case. I just want to reiterate. If I know the answer...yes or no...or saw something out of whack I will give the answer that I know. However it falls. If I say one of things above...or say that a dev told me something...it's because YES we don't know the answer...or couldn't confirm it....and I don't want to give the impression that it's fixed....when I truly don't know. That's why I didn't say FIXED! The reason I got a little ticked was that the tone of that post yesterday was giving the opposite impression. That I actually knew or alluded to knowing...but didn't want to say. That's all on that. It's over as far as I'm concerned and like I said...didn't mean to jump down dave_sz's throat.... Just wanted you to know where I was coming from on that. M.K. Knight165

I never said that you guys were covering something up or lying about something. Just wanted a warning that you guys just didn't know all the answers. Big misunderstanding I guess...

I laced one right at Pena and dude pulled an olay on the ball.

I'm guessing that is what you're talking about? That and I've seen Chase not make a few plays on some screamers right at him.

Sorry I did not know you were a 12 year old girl. But enough of this banter, I sent you a pm.

I'd have to say overall I couldn't be more happy about the update we're getting this year for The Show series.

I know from any demo I've played for any type of platform that you'll not get what you will in the retail version 99 percent of the times. Most quality games "like The Show" are almost constantly tweaking and perfecting there title right until it's gold, and than for some time after that also. So I would just hazard to guess that any "obvious" glitches/bugs won't be there come the 3rd.

These guys also have an a great record of fixing most problems that we might filter out when it gets released so I'm sleeping fine, yet restless until the darn game comes out!

I got it thanks. Are you a pedophile or something? I said I'm a 12 year old girl and now you wanna meet up at the may 12 cubs game at wrigley? WTF is wrong with you?

Some guys just have to keep posting until a mod steps in and shuts them down. C'mon, you know what that's like.

Sorry, I just don't appreciate the guy PMing me and telling me he'll be waiting for me at a cubs game. I dunno if I'm supposed to forward physical threats to MODs or just leave it be...

How bout everyone just leave it be and lets get back to Demo talk. We get it, you dont like the PM, everyone has said their piece now.

Im hesitant to mess with any sliders in the demo becuase they may nto translate over to the retail version. And i would DEFINITELY like to know what the catcher's signals mean in relation to height and side of the pitch.

You could've just PM'd him back and not subject the rest of us to this nonsense. And yes, you can forward PM's to a mod that you feel are in threats or personal attacks or whatnot.

Back to the demo. Taternuts, I've seen doubles in the gaps but I still havent' seen a flyball hit directly over an outfielder's head. I've had some that were off on angles that they couldn't track down, but none where they just back pedal in a straight line and fail to get to the ball. The outfielders still seem to play extremely deep.

Ive noticed the deep play also. Everytime i have Utley, Howard or (i think ) Victorino up, the outfield starts out close to the warning track.

# 1417 DodgerFanatic2K3 @ 02/23/09 05:50 PM

Ya I agree that the outfielders still seem to play too deep in the demo

I still have not seen a ball go "directly" over an outfielders head in the demo

Only situation I have seen is when the outfielder can't track down the ball in the gap and it goes over him which is still a new improvement this year

# 1418 CMH @ 02/23/09 06:07 PM

I had a ball go straight over a fielder's head. It hit the wall.

Good to hear.....Was it on a routine fielding play or were you running back attempting to rob a HR that just didn't go out ????

# 1420 skinfan31 @ 02/23/09 07:33 PM

I haven't played a baseball game in years because I didn't like where 2k was going with their game. A few months ago I broke down and bought a PS3. All I can say is, thanks to this game that purchase is worth every dime. The demo just blew me away. The amount of detail, the realistic gameplay, I could go on and on. Needless to say, I can't wait for the release.
