I stand corrected. You are right and like someone else mentioned, MLB 2K7 wasn't nearly as good on the PS3 as the 360.

Again, and I may be wrong, but I can't think of one game that had enhancements on the Xbox version that the PS2 did'nt have.

CH wasn't bad. At least not as bad as some people would make you believe.

MLB2K7 frame rate wise was way better on the 360. Both had problems but on the PS3 the drop in frame rate would affect your hitting.

But who would want to play 2K7 for the PS3 when they can play The Show?

Well it doesn't effect me at all because EA has released nothing but junk lately so I don't see any future purchases for my Ps3 besides Skate that involes any EA games.

ESPN 2K5 halftime show is the only one I can think of .

They are programming the Cell the same way they would program a PC. So EA is doing the very minimum to make a buck. Im sure thats why they accepted cash from Microsoft to make PS3 games 30fps and a month later they are all 60fps (IMO) http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...43&postcount=1

Most Xbox games looked better and/or had better framerate when you compared the PS2 and Xbox versions.
