I don't even know anymore...
So far so good. I played 2 (exhibition) games against the Cubs. Lost the first 2-1 in 14 innings, but ran it back real quick (re: restarted), and won the 2nd 10-3. Couldn't hit Lester for shyt in the 1st, he didn't even get thru 5 in the 2nd. I'm using Dynamic Difficulty (tried out Directional Hitting, and old faithful Meter Pitching), so take it for what it's worth, but I hit 5 gappers in the 2nd game, 3 alone with Gomez (all to Left-Center), resulting in 2 doubles and a triple (again, to LCF!!! I don't think I saw that at all in any other Show game.). Hit a 3-run bomb with Aramis, and a 2-run no-doubter with Lucroy (with Matty V. even copying Ueck's HR call (get up, Get Up, Get Outta HERE, GONE!! Nice touch.).
Like previous years, against the CPU, you really have to be careful coming off an inning in which you scored runs. The inning in which Aramis hit the 3-run HR resulted in 4 runs (all with 2-out by the way). I knew what to expect, and couldn't fukking stop it. I was very focused on making pitches (and it was the top of the order), got the first 2 outs, then a walk to Rizzo, Soler hits a single (AFTER I got squeezed on what shoulda been a beautiful strike 3, which really irritated me when...), Montero hits a 1-2 pitch off the RF foul pole. Went from 5-0 with 2 outs to 5-3. So yeah, reallly gotta focus in shutdown innings.
Saw 2 warps, one where I hit a base hit to the right of the CF. He was a bit lackadaisical, and in order to get in front of the ball (which he very well should've, and did), he did like a zoom animation before it got past him. Also, the other included Lester hitting. He hit a ball out in front of the plate, and I threw him out by plenty. He ran the play out though, and his last 2 steps were ignored as he kind of glided through first base.
Other than that, hey, it's The Show. Plays like butter (rock solid framerate for me so far), and looks pretty damn good (the lighting really is beautiful). I played a night game, and it started out with the sun still up, and the shadows change as the sun moves. Dope. Lohse looked good, and even though I'm not one of THOSE guys, I must say that the added accessories is a nice touch. The batting gloves and shoes are especially noticeable on batters at the plate. Only 2 games in, but that's what I got.
