Well the CPU outfielders' constant screw ups on balls that hit the wall are starting to annoy me. I hope that's been fixed for the final version.

I've also found if you don't use the stick to influence you'll get a lot more flat trajectories on your hits. Which seems obvious now that I think about it.

Also one thing they need to work on next year is having the ball curve in the air after it's hit. There's hardly any movement at all to the ball in this game.

Anyone else think the pitching controls are way too easy?

It's so easy to pinpoint where you want the pitch to go and paint the corners all day. of course baseball games are usually like this, but it's even worse in this game. i bet even pitchers like daniel cabrera will suddenly turn into greg maddux because of this pitching system.

Uh... What the hell!

You have to have gold to download the demo?

I really like the direction that 2K is going with the game. From the demo it seems they have a good base to work with in the future. However, being that the wife bought me a PS3 for christmas I think I'm going to pass on this years game and go with the Show. Hopefully 2K10 will be the one that gets over the top.

I notice people seem to like the faces but they look quite similar to 2K4 in my opinion. Griffey looks nothing like himself in this game.

This is a demo with no sliders.. Relax people

I don't understand all the hating. Game is better than last year. Couple things to remember..........

1. Game is on pro mode. Any talk / complaining about the computer not taking strikes or anything being too easy is a moot point.

2. 2k Baseball has always needed some slider tweaking to make it play good IMO
