I would atleast try downloading the demo because the vids don't really do it justice. It definetly doesn't feel or play too arcadish. The gameplay is actually very smooth for the most part. There are some animations they could do without especially in the infield. They could also pay more attention to the animations after a play is over, but there is nothing game breaking with the way it is now.

This seems to be my primary concern at the moment...at one point my cursor was shaking which made things a tad more difficult but there doesn't seem to be very much "randomness" to the pitches. This is tough one to gauge because it's only 3 innings and we're playing with good pitchers for the most part. Perhaps there's a slider in the retail game to make things tougher for pitchers? If 2k is good at anything it's good at providing sliders to tweak the game...

You took the words right out of my mouth!

I hate seeing the wrong hat on players... I know, I've been pretty vocal about that, and it probably seems very petty to a lot of people... I just don't understand why 2K has players in the wrong hats. As soon as the acquisition is completed, ESPN.com or MLB.com has the player in the correct hat. Since 2K has the MLB license, I would assume that they could have every player in the right hat. I guess I just bring this up in case any developers for 2K are reading this... Getting the players in the right hats would do a lot for the presentation, IMO...

My apologies for bringing this up again guys, but it really does bug me.

The contact swing is really good for 1 and 2 hitters that don't have power or hitters late in the batting order. I think so. Someone said something about a patch on release date for this. I was thinking about how they are going to implement it. I hope that they make it a press of the button, it feels so natural. If they make it tied to the stick, i think it will be pretty much useless like it has been in the past.

You will pull the stick back to check your swing.

You would think by now they could find a way to patch in updated pictures. I agree with you totally. I hate wrong hats on guys. Even more so I hate blank silhouettes for fake players. Just show a team logo. (That goes for alot of sports games).

I hated that last year as well... Luckily for us, they fixed the blank silhouette this year, but the hat problem still remains. I just think if you have the updated photos like MLB.com does, use the MLB License you have and get everything updated. Not doing so makes the game look outdated to me. Pretty nitpicky but damn, it's just a big pet peeve of mine.
