I am regretting, pulling an all nighter to play this.

Will have to rent (GameFly) the final version as well.

I think that they dont have replays in this demo?

Pros:

The A.I did a double steal on me.

Hit variety is good.

Played two 3 inning games and haven't seen a HR yet.

Batting controlls are good.



Cons:

Pitch speed is way too slow.

New pitching controlls are way too easy.It doesn't feel right without the 3rd step.

Players move like robots when not fielding.

The real time camera shots switch too fast sometimes.

After a batters walk up animation, they snap into their stance...Looks ugly.

A.I only swings at strikes.I haven't seem them swing at a ball yet...Or even take a strike.

I put in Willy Aybar to pinch hit for Kazmir, and he had Erick Aybar's pic.

No take out slides.Seriously VC, why did you take these out?Did the lamers who begged for dumbed down controlls, ask you to make double plays easier too?

No tutorial.Anyone know how to select which runner you want to advance?

Honestly i struck out 2 batters already just looking. You have to paint the corners really good and they will not swing sometimes.

Again i disagree. The controls feel good to me.

IMO this game is way better then 2k8. VC had alot to fix from 2k8. Gameplay is good. Is the game perfect? NO but it's fun so far and i'm sure the final version will be better.
