Not sure it needed it's own thread but we were talking about it in the XBLA thread. Of course, I'd love to get some buzz about this game because I'm sure it;s awesome. It's by the guys that did the Power Pro games that I loved. They remind me so much of the old RBI and Bad News Baseball games from the NES days.

Already DL'd it and been playing the shit outta it. Fun fun game.

 

[Chrispy]

Its fun but a couple of things

I hit too many ground balls, so i hit into so many double plays.
Can barely get any fly balls.
I don't like how you have to be like right on top of a ground ball to get it. A little bit to the left or right and it goes by you.

Definitely download this when I get home.

I've been waiting for this game for awhile. I'm a big fan of the Power Pro series and Konami's baseball games. The Bobblehead portion of the game might fool some people. You can turn it off. In essence, this is the Power Pro series from 2008.

Fielding is going to be tough in the beginning for people new to the game. Fielding on the game isn't like current baseball games, where you just get close to the ball, there is sort of a vaccuum, and the fielder goes into the fielding animation. This is old school RBI Baseball fielding, which is a challenge, but I like it. Controls will be real sensitive, but again it's a good challenge. Throw out the window how you play other baseball video games. Once you get used to it, you will definately appreciate the game.

Demo was fun once I got used to the fielding controls. Definitely leaning towards purchasing the full version later tonight.

Yea tried playing online late last night, that was a lag fest hopefully they can patch a fix in.

I played in to online games last night, 1 was lag free, and the other was a bit spotty.

 

[Twigg4075]

Do we have enough interest to have a patchwork league? I don't think the game supports leagues (that would be insane) but we could keep track of wins and losses ourselves.

 

[StealthShot]

Well only real way that could be done is through leaguedaddy.

Does that cost?

I finally played the demo and of course loved it. I beat the Phillies 4-3 in the bottom.of the 3rd. Scored all four runs in that inning after being down 3-0. I liked how when I was down 3-2 and one of my hitters came up with a man on a little split screen animation came up saying something like "Turning point".

My one minor complaint is that after the game it showed the "highlights" but it only showed three Philly plays. Hello? I won the fucking game with a walkoff double!

I'm guessing godspeed isn't on my friends list because the only person showing up on the leaderboard was Kid Robotz.

I like the pitching and batting mechanics, but I'm not a big fan of the fielding.

I won't blame my misjudgements in the infield on the game, still have to get used to that, but when line drives are hit into the outfield you can't tell where it is relative to your outfielder until it is too late.

 

[Chrispy]

I got the fielding down, what i don't like is how it is like impossible to hit a fly ball.

So, you didn't hut the ball in the air at all, or you just didn't have any pop ups or fly outs? Because I definitely hit the ball in the air several times but I do think all my out were ground outs or strike outs.

And FedEx, godspeed, if you aren't on my friends list, hit me up with a FR please. I'm not home at the moment.

 

[Chrispy]

I barely get any fly balls per game, maybe like 3. Don't know what im doing wrong.

A game i just played i had a couple of more fly balls like 6, don't know what i did differently.
