    I just got demolished 6-0 by the Yankees, I think I got one or two hits and drew a walk. Bastardo got dominated, too bad we can't sub pitchers. I think I'll be staying on pro for a little bit, I guess it goes back to how I've always been bad at videogames.

    It looks like 2k took out fake throw in the field this year. That sucks, because I had an easy double play on a line drive to first but I flicked up on the right stick thinking I needed to make my fielder jump, instead he preloaded his throw to second and I couldn't stop the throw.

      I've downloaded the demo twice now, and each time I've gotten the "disk unreadable" error on my console when I try to play it. Is anybody else experiencing this issue? More importantly, does anybody have any advice on how to get this demo working?

      Figures this would happen when I was really looking forward to playing because of all the positive feedback......My luck.

      Cheers.

        Hope you are right in the long run, but just watched the comparison video again and the old overall, though resized, is still used. The early Chase Field clip seems to be pre-game, all other jumbotron views have the old overall. What annoys me about it is when its in center view during at bats. It just looks so darn odd.

          There are no words.

          Seriously, the demo was amazing. Graphics and gameplay were magnificent, pitching was streamlined, fielding was good...

          This will be good.

            I was just going to say, during other clips of the video they don't have the whole jumbo-tron covered. I also really hope in the final build they have either the whole screen covered with the stats or a different design. It would make the game look more real.

              Apparently, 2K Ron confirmed the demo is on Pro. I'm beginning to really see the easiness in some things like stealing. I'm getting steals with little challenge. And then with pitching, batters seem to take strikes almost giving you the upper hand. In a game I played earlier today, Arod took two strikes and then swung at a high fastball. It was just too easy.
              Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

                Has anyone made a manual diving catch or a manual slide in the demo? I know manual slides use to be mapped to the R stick and maybe i'm missing the timing window, but i'm totally lost on how to make a manual diving catch.

                I've played about 4 games and i've had about 2 opprotunities in the IF and 2 in the OF and i've got nothing. I tried hitting X and got a throw to 3rd and i've tried moving the R stick and nothing. I seen a diving catch by the SS in the IF on a sharp hit ball, but it happened automatically. Again, maybe i'm not timing things correctly.

                  2k10 is way better than 2k9 but after playing the show for 5 months straight it still feels way behind in many areas to me. I can't explain it but the over all look and play of the game just feels arcadish to me. I don't think the crowd or the stadiums are pushing any limits in the detail department either.
                  It is a very smooth playing game that is for sure and I have seen some really nice animations. I still don't know how fast my base runners are which really annoys me (unless I am missing something). I realize it's on pro but when pitching it feels like softball and I think the field is way to small. I only played three games but overall much improved.

                    Weird play: Runner on 1st, Ibanez hits a high deep fly to left field. I missed the catch and it hits off the wall, I grab the ball and throw it to 3rd to keep runners on 1st and 2nd. My throw goes errant and bounces to the backstop. You would think Posada could step over and pick up the bouncer but he's just sitting in front of home plate watching it roll by. ARod ends up chasing it all the way to the backstop and picks it up. Meanwhile the runners make no move to advance on the errant throw.

                    Maybe just something weird chalked up to demo build

                      The game plays very well. I'm happy with what I saw in the demo. I do have one small cosmetic gripe with the look of the field. Maybe, it's because of the limitaions of the demo, but other than the mound, it seems that shadows are used to give an illusion that the grass is raised. When you take a closer look, the grass and dirt are the actually the same height with shadows going down the 1st and 3rd base lines. I remember seeing someone mention that the field textures were much improved in 2k10. It is a small gripe, but everything else looks great. Hopefully the textures are better in the retail version and not reduced for better frame rate.

                          Nice to see the positive impressions. Really wish I could give it a go, but I probably won't have time until Thursday afternoon.

                            Doesn't look anything like Luke French :P Still cool to have generated faces. Hope its for rookies too.
