MLB 2K11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS3/360)

Haven't had a chance to read all the post here, so I'll ask. Has others had the ease of picking runner off first as I have? There seems to be a graphical glitch were the runner runs into the 1B baseman when going back to the base standing up and is called out. Done it with every base runner on first so far.

Does anyone else find it hard to track a ball in the air after you hit it? I'm playing on a SDTV, and everytime I hit the ball in the air, I have no idea where it is. Is that the point of the camera or no? I feel like the ball just blends into the sky/stadium, which isnt that cool imo.

I like the demo overall though. New fielding is excellent and alot of the weird animations have been erased.

I do wish, however, that the AI was a bit more patient at the plate. I still find that the majority of the time the AI is swinging at a pitch and it irritates me a bit.

Overall very solid though.

There is only 3 options

easy

normal

hard

Normal is the default diff level of the game so for the demo is pro

There is no way to put all star in the demo

Putting the level at hard would max out the diff level of the demo

so you can only do pro or super star or whatever the highest diff is set to

Pickoffs are easy to get at all the bases...hopefully that's addressed. I've seen that visual to I believe...although it looks like he stops short rather than running into the guy (might be a different thing though, I dunno).

Also, for whomever asked about check swings earlier, just pull back quickly on the R Stick before you get too far in your swing.

Put my profile on normal and I actually had fun. Yay! I won 2-0 with the Giants. Very fun game. My two runs came off a HR by Ross in the 2nd.

It was funny because I kept reading how people could tell a difference between fielders just by the green margin in the throwing meter, but on hard everyone's is barely even there. There is no margin of error. Once I was on normal I made all perfect throws with ease thanks to being on hard all those times.

Normal is pro which is what the demo is set to (easy)

Yea, it was definitely a lot easier than when I had my profile on hard. I had plenty of room for error.

How do you change the profile to different difficulties? I'm a little lost here.
