I'm a little disappointed that directional sliding has been removed for 'X'. I was hoping it was just for the demo but the screens confirm it in the final build too.
It looks like the took out the ability to cancel a throw to a certain base/cutoff as well.

You should probably move the ball cursor a little to the right of where you want the ball to end up, and you'll get the fastball thrown where you want it thrown.

Yeah, you can still aim slide w/ the left stick. Still works. Works wonderfully actually.
After playing a ton of 3 inning games, I can say that, for me, pitching is entirely too easy.
But it's an easy fix.
1. Make it harder to hit the zone, and your spots.
2. Make the CPU do more when you miss location.
The biggest "problem," (not really a problem, I think, because this is pro settings) is that you can throw fastballs in the middle of the plate, with a good gesture, and get easy outs. I did this for one 3 inning game and allowed only 2 hits, both singles.
I have absolute confidence that the hitting will be great this year.
I did games where I tried to work the count and draw nothing but walks. Using the defensive swing semi-effectively, I made A.J. Burnett throw 56 pitches in his 3 innings.
I did a few games using only the contact swing and did fairly well as far as getting hits.
I did two games using only the power swing. Got 1 hit in the first, 3 in the second. No homers.
Can't wait for Tuesday.

Do we have a definitive answer as to whether or not the LS has a function in hitting?
In the 2nd round of questions to the developers (post demo) a couple of issues with hitting were brought up and he never mentioned the LS. The type of hit is dependent on the type of swing and location of the pitch.
I always thought the LS was influential in determining the direction of the hit and the type of swing.

Also, in the control interface on the demo, the LS is mapped to "aim hit".

The jaggies on the top of the stadium really bother me. Its not a deal breaker for me but it is an eye sore.
I think the more I play the demo, the more I enjoy this game. I saw Hamels literally throw at Granderson, point at him after he hit him square in the back. Beautiful.
I'm really enjoying it. Graphically, it's much better than years past. Not quite as sharp as the show, but definitely good enough for me.

I'm really not seeing this jaggy problem and when it comes to AA I have a really sharp eye. Not saying they're not there but I don't think it's anything like past years. Plus it is has been mentioned that the retail is smoother around the edges.

It seems to me the graphics engine doesn't push the 360's hardware as much as it could. That is really what is limiting this game's graphics. Things like low resolution shadows and low crowd draw distance seem to be a sign that the graphics engine can't push what the developers wanna push without sacraficing things.
For instance, you know the developers wanna put more cloth physics into the game, but they can't if they want the game to run at a solid 60 frames per second.

Still, even the games you mentioned look better or have looked better than MLB 2K series recently. Hell, if 2K10 looked like NHL 10 or NBA 2K10, I'd be pleased. If the gameplay and experience is on par with those, I'll be buying, graphic limitations or not.
The demo looks good. As I mentioned in another thread though, I am a little worried about the fact that mlb 2k demos usually look much better than the actual games. With that said, I have high hopes for this game and I was BLOWN away with the presentation!

I dont know WHY 2K had to mess with the batting stances for, they had Derek Jeter and Texiera's down pat in year's past and they tweaked them a bit now they look off. Amazing that they touch the things that they are actually great at.
And like others have mentioned, waytoo many hits to center field.
