Yea there is take ot slides. to slide manually its hold the A button and then up (l,R) or down (l, R) to dictate the type of slide. Baserunning is left analog highlights the runner and right analog moves the highlighted runner to the base you designated. ITs pretty rough especially when you got a baseloaded game on your hands I wish they would have just kept the same controls as last year

No. Take-out slides and hook slides are 2 different things.

Thanks for the post. I have all this in my head, but could not put it down like you just did. I have been arguing for years with internet worms about this.

What you said is concrete fact. The back of the box on Sony games will advertise what resolutions it will do native. MSFT on the other hand, puts it on every box, cause it can upscale. And they are in essence BSing. Or should at least asterisk it with "up-scaled".

Because as a PC gamer, when you say what it is, we are used to it being what it really is. Not "up-scaling".

This, going by 2k's track record, should have a fantastic online setup and thus allow for some decent online baseball on the 360. I would say this game is going to look very disappointing on the PS3.

oh how i hope you are wrong, being that i don't own a 360 anymore and ps3 is my console i would be sad if 2k dissapoints on the ps3 again i miss 2k baseball, i do like the show but i need something different also

oh wow i dont think i ever want to see a walk off hit ever again in this game seriously. Ryan Howard gets a walk off hit then it just shows him walking back to the dugout liek he just got out and while he was walking his head was flopping left and right....HOW EXCITING

quick question, why do you keep playing this demo? after reading your posts(all of them) they are on the negative side, you obviously don't like the game so why keep bothering with it, i understand impressions but you have become almost on the trolling side with what you state, do you have anything good to say about the game?

so like i said you have like 40 negative posts about this game in a row, why keep playing it, i like to hear the bad impressions as much as the good so i know what i am getting myself into but it just seems you don't like the game at all, when i play a demo of a game if i don't like it after the first try i delete it and move on to a game i like, just doesn't make sense to me you keep playing something you don't like.that's all i am saying
