well gotta say, i like what im seeing so far. In 4 games ive played, the computer has attempted 2 stolen bases, ran a suicide squeeze, and taken pitches. I was also able to actually draw a few walks. So far its looking promising

I'm thinking that the HR fest that some users are seeing will also be able to be fixed with Difficulty increases/Slider Adjustments.

I was worried about them after a couple games, but then I played a couple more and was getting base hit single and doubles consistently.

I am pointing this out b/c the I really think that the retail version of the game will realy blow people away.

I was thinking the same thing!

Has anyone mastered the pitching circle thingy yet? It's not very well explained but i seem to be getting the best results when I change direction when maxed out and release when the two circles inside one another are about the same size? Am I right or am I off here?

From what I understand, you want the yellow to be completely full when you release the pitch. I have even got it to fill up red and say MAX over it a few times. If its not full the location will end up further than where you set it.

So you want to release everything when its all yellow and not even let it retract?

I think you do the first gesture, then as the circle is filling you do the second and release when the yellow is full in the circle.
