yeah i did. that's kind of cheesy. i got out of a pickle my first time being in one because of that. hopefully thats not a major glitch.

I was able to pickoff the baserunners every single time I threw over- I picked off 3 from first base and 1 from second base. Anybody else have this happen?

you can pinch hit. push down hit a to select player that's at bat, then use the trigger to go to your bench and sub.

Is the demo only out on the 360? I dont see it on PS3 network.

Loving the demo so far. A very nice change of pace from MLB 09 - particularly on the gameplay front which is a blast. There's flaws, but overall I am stoked about the direction VC is taking the series.

Looking forward to picking it up on day one.

edit: Pretty amusing seeing people with Show avatars and anti 2K signatures blatantly trolling this game.

I agree. The game seems much more fluid than 2k8. Seems like it will be a lot of fun. This game seems to finally have a personality.

Yeah the bashing gets old, but the less you respond, the faster they go away.

let me preface my comments by saying I did not play 2k8 at all

-Gary Thorne is awesome

-It seems like 2k had a lot to prove to the community this year, so the decision to only release a 3 -inning, optionless demo is mind-boggling...should have been full game with all the options available

-2k's fielding mechanic has been clunly and flawed going back to the original xbox days and it's no different here

- love the stick swing, but cannot wait to go back to button pitching , or I at least hope for a decent tutorial in game

- maybe it's just a case of needing time for me to adjust, but this baserunning mechanic seems awful

- hope the player faces are tweaked for the retail version

-bring on the sliders

overall, I think the decision I made to switch my pre-order to the PC version seems wise...this does not rate well as 60 dollar purchase if you are basing it off the demo

if the PC version isn't good I guess I'll but this year's Strat-o-matic to get my fix.....as awesome as the competition looks, I cannot justify buying a PS3 for any 1 title

is this game native 720p or 1080i or 1080p

I would like to play it at its native....
