I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS GAME. I like forgot about it until mid-late february but ever since then I have been CRAVING this game. I want the whole package not just the demo...I can't wait to crack into that franchise mode...It hurts me to read peoples impressions that have the game already haha. I can only imagine...

Watching spring training (Braves vs Nats) on MLB network right now is making me REALLY wish that clock would magically advance about 36 hours...

With the right fielder I threw the ball to first base and - PREMIERE - it landed in my players glove before the runner was on first base. Hilarious commentary: "How slow can you be!".

Haha! I threw out Helton from RF too 2 months ago. First time I've done that too after playing since 07.

Oh.
My.
God.
Cruz hit a bomb off me and it went to HR celebration cam right away, but it pulled foul at the last second.
Cruz was waving the ball fair.

Im in love

Finally won my first game on legend although I have only been really playing with one team for about 7 or 8 games. Got together 8 hits and 4 runs with the Rangers (that's a high for me in runs and hits).

Question though: Why is the CPU's PCI so big? It takes up the entire strike zone some times. I don't get it. I can never get my PCI that big no matter how good my timing. Even using contact swing.

That's a difficulty level difference - the User's PCI is much smaller than normal on Legend. I think it's around the same size as the AI's on All-Star, and gets bigger the lower you go. I don't think the AI's PCI changes on any (pitching) difficulty level.

Part of the challenge of playing the highest difficulty level, I'd say.

What is your pitching difficulty? That would determine The CPU's hitting difficulty.

Thank you bcruise and nemesis. That explains it!! I thought it had to do with me miss-timing. I had it on Legend for both pitching and hitting. Fielding NO WAY lol.

Just played my last game on the demo and deleted it.

I can't wait for Tuesday!!! I am just blown away how much better this is going to be than 2009 from a visual stand point. Plus at some point I may go for it in learning the analog controls for hitting and batting. Plus they revamped RTTS which I found tedious on 2009.

Reading all the official retail impressions has me hungry for The Show for the next 8-9 months to go along with my love affair with NBA2K11. Looks like I am skipping video football gaming altogether this year. No doubt in my mind in fact.

Check out some of the boxscores in the other threads. I've seen guys with 7-0 scores and something like a 12-5...don't worry about that my man.
