From the menu pics it looks like you can turn off ball trail and dynamic ball indicator but didnt see anything for pitching bells and whistles graphics. I'd like those off also but don't see it?

More power to you guys who have decided to buy it based on the demo. I'm still gunshy. Looks good, plays and feels pretty well, but I've gotten burned too often. I'll have to rent it first and then read up on the boards.

Looks like a great improvement, but I can't bring msyelf to blindly buy it.

Yes you can.

PS3 demo next week.

I'm am absolutely in LOVE with the pitching. It's so, so well done once you know what you are doing.

Also, is anyone else noticing that once again, balls/strikes are nearly impossible to differentiate? The CPU paints the corner on nearly every pitch. All the talk about the new camera angle making it easy to judge balls/strikes is absolutely untrue if the pitchers paint the corner 90% of the time. I know it sounds like I'm bashing the game, but I'm still really excited about this game. I'm thinking there are two excuses here. Maybe the pitchers painting the corners is just a result of the pitchers I'm facing. The developers have said that good pitchers will be much harder to tell the difference between balls/strikes. As for the timing and swing stick, maybe its all just the new camera view. Is anyone else struggling badly with the new view? I'm desperately hoping this game doesn't play like this at the plate for the long run and it just takes time to get used to. If not, then I'm just going to break down and buy a PS3 this year. I can't go another year without a baseball game.

Hitting is so-so for me. Sometimes i hit, sometimes i dont. The one aspect of this game that is really giving me trouble is stealing bases. I just can't seem to grasp the timing for my life.

Agreed. This is what the development team had in mind when it created gesture pitching with 2K8. Now, the mechanic is "final" -- and it's terrific.

# 407 dougdeuce @ 02/25/10 12:56 PM

Ok, I played the demo like ten times yesterday and on multiple occasions on ground balls to the infield, when I push the right stick to first I end up throwing to third... I thought maybe it was me the first time, but after a few more I am starting to get suspicious. Just a thought..

# 408 bigfnjoe96 @ 02/25/10 01:01 PM

For anyone playing the DEMO can you check in the Classic Hitting Option if the Sub-Menu is accesible & if so what do ya see? Trying to confirm if Zone Hitting is still in.

# 409 Jasong7777 @ 02/25/10 01:04 PM

I'm loving the demo. Can't wait till Tuesday.

You can't change anything (or even access anything) in the demo. Not even the bullpen...

# 411 Spanky @ 02/25/10 01:16 PM

Pitching is real good, though it would be nice to be able to read the type on the pitch selection screen. Also, too easy to throw strikes (hopefully sliders can fix this) and umpires have too big a strike zone.

Fielding, though they apparently fixed the dropped flyball and 1B foot off the bag issues from last year, doesn't seem as fluid as it should be. Whenever there's a base hit, it seems like I'm scrambling to hit the right button to control the OF, who is stationary even though the ball it hit towards him, which results in a late jump on the ball. 3B and SS jump to throw to 1B on routine ground balls.

Batting I'm not sure about. CPU pitching still too accurate, too many strikes. Not sold on the batting view yet.

Graphically, it's improved, but the numbers on the unis are atrocious, quite an eyesore when you're pitching. How could they mess up something that had been fine? Just plain stupid.

Overall, it's a potential rental and definitely a wait-and-see after several credible reviews and a lot of forum feedback.

Doug you can. When you pause the game, toggle on the R Analog & the Controller Options will appear

Quick question with this, when you bring up the different controller pics the one you leave up is the mode it changes to?

# 414 Mikocop @ 02/25/10 01:24 PM

During the batter's eye, it will show the location of the pitch with a blue line on the strike zone. If it's down the middle, the outside of the zone will all be outlined in blue.

Yeah I believe that's the way it is. Not 100% sure though

That's how it was in 2K9 at least.

No submenu (that I could find at least) for "zone" hitting. It was one of the first things I looked for. At first I just assumed it was a demo thing...but after seeing those screens from the actual game, I'm getting worried.

I'm really hoping it wasn't cut.

# 418 dougdeuce @ 02/25/10 02:55 PM

OK, is it just me or is it really hard to see the ball coming out of the pitchers hand this year? I have a 50'' plasma and I'm on the edge of my seat leaning forward when I'm hitting. I'm having a good time with this game so far, but I can't hit for crap and I destroyed last years game (for the two weeks I actually played it)

# 419 Bondsfan @ 02/25/10 02:59 PM

If they cut zone hitting I'm not getting this game, and that seriously depresses me after following this game for the past 2 months. I'm not going to freak out though, because I think I remember a developer insight mentioning that the classic zone hitting would be in the game unchanged from 2k9.

# 420 Craigsca @ 02/25/10 03:54 PM

I know it's nitpicking, but I hate how the Yankee Stadium infield looks like a Holstein cow.
