Man, this thread has gone downhill & the Demo has been out for how long? 
Well I just downloaded this piece of disaster demo. I was bored by the 2nd inning, it feels like I am playing a game on the Wii. The colors are too bright and the grass looks pathetic. 90% of the pitches I threw were swung at!! wtf is up with that? I will admit it is better than 2k8, but it still has problems. Oh well.
Am I crazy or did they reverse the direction of breaking pitch gestures? I pretty sure in 2k8, for a left to throw a slider the first movement was right (the way it breaks), but it is now left...

Just got done playing another game.
I can get the AI to take strikes, i think it just depends on the movement/placement. If you throw it almost anywhere near center of the zone they are going to hack. If you place a 12-6 with Hammels that starts up high but sinks into zone, they will take it.
As for people having trouble getting the ball lifted, I don't know what to say. I'm pulling the right stick back when the pitch is released, and then pushing it forward when I want to make contact. I'm hitting them to Deep Center almost all the time, which, IMO, isn't a good thing.
Pros:
Overall I am impressed. After last year's debacle it's hard to me to judge. I really want to play a final build before I go around saying it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
It's definitely on the way up, I just have a feeling IMO it's not there yet.

Pros:
- Presentation is a Step up, Including Commentary.
- Pitching is working like it should. Very fun to pitch.
- When not lifting the ball straight up, I do get a variety of ground balls hit against me.
- Those little poofs of dust are really distracting to me, esp. when they appear when you're running on the grass. Bad design decision, IMO.
- Running Animations and some general animations need some work. The outfield running away from the camera towards the wall comes to mind the most.
- I find fielding to be quirky at times. Sometimes it works great, other times I'll go to dive only to have it go right by me.

I never thought I would be drawn into this, but I am downloading now. Love the impressions so far.

I only own an Xbox 360. I'm just happy baseball is here!! Baseball is here like a good neighbor... wait...like a good neighbor STATE FARM IS HERE.
Anywho, I liked it, looked very arcady (no not joan of arcadia) and I'm just happy a new baseball game is here. I give every game the benefit of the doubt from the beginning and so far so good with this one...or maybe I've just had too much Pepsi Max...Wake up people.
