Playing MLB2k7 360 demo in 480p makes a diffrence for fielding

[Moegames]

I thought it was my imagination but the fielding is way better playing in 480p over the high def (720p/1080i) resolutions. First thing i noticed instantly is better control for fielding.. the second thing i notice is that everything is bigger of course, if your on the field and the CPU hits a grounder infield..you can actually get a good jump on the ball to field it...the camera seems much much closer to the fielder picking up the grounder.

Oh one more thing..i also jacked up infielder/outfielder reaction sliders up to 100% as well, it helps - its in Presentation options

I know whats going on here, as i said a few times already in various threads, giving the game time helps your fielding skills greatly in high def but going down to 480p resolution makes fielding issues nonexistent, try it.

I tried various resolutions, (720p/1080i) resolutions makes things much smaller..reason why people are having trouble spotting/seeing the infield hits, (480i) is flat out ugly, but (480p) smooths the visuals greatly over (480i).

Also i couldnt find any slowdown what so ever using (480p), seems to smooth everything out greatly as far as framerate. I think part of the issue here with fielding is not totally on the camera but because of the resolution making things smaller and framerate takes a hit making controls a tad sluggish ... again, turn up your infielder/outfielder reaction sliders to 100%, it gives your defense a much greater jump on the ball when its hit.

1. Using high def makes things smaller to see, thats a given in anything high def.

2. Using high def with MLB2k7 hampers the framerate (making controls un-stable a tad)

Im not suggesting everyone use (480p) im just posting this to let you guys know that using (480p) makes fielding easier.

Keep in mind, i have a Sony 36XS955..its a 4:3 native screen.. so i get a VERY LARGE (480p) picture that looks brilliant. My (720p/1080i) modes go to widescreen (black bars top & bottom) though looks incredible.

Just a little info on this that i thought may help a few out that are having issues with fielding and the camera. Im quite content with using 1080i with this game because i got the fielding down pretty good now after i gave the game time..but others may want to try what i've said, that is if you got a large enough HDTV.

I respect what your saying but I did not buy the 360 to play it in xbox "HD" resolution, while 480p is not terrible on a screen my size (100") it would not work for me visually. It makes alot of sense for someone with a smaller tv but the majority of people don't want a game to play in 480p on a next-gen system. That is great it works for you though and it is great advice for some.

lol i think its the sliders that helped, but not changing the resolution

No changing the resolution does help bro.. there is absolutly no slowdown using a non high def resolution, what does that tell ya? do the math because when your in high def..you see slowdown but not with non high def

Again, to the guy with the 100inch screen..i clearly stated that im not suggesting everyone use this resolution, i posted it mearly for those having troubles with the fielding of the game...

I didnt spend 2 grand on my hdtv for nothing..im gonna use high def with my 360. I just thought i'd share this around here for those that it may help, peace

Re: Playing MLB2k7 360 demo in 480p makes a diffrence for fielding

this is truth..i just tried playing with the 848x480 resolution in my monitor and the frame rate issues in the fielding camera was gone.
its a good fix for people that are having problem with this..i personally dont care...so will be back playing with the 1280x1024 wide resolution.

What you said makes perfect sense to me. I was worried about the fielding and had made up my mind not to get this game because of it. Now I'll at least download the demo and give it a try, though I do wish auto-fielding was an option for old slow players like me (and I don't understand why it's not).

Thanks a bunch for the tip - you da man!

Yous hould mention thsi a fix for people without a widescreen HDTV. 16:9.
Why the hell would it make things smaller on my 16:9 HDTV. TEXT and everything else is easier to see in widescreen HDTV.

The higher the resolution you go the smaller things get "WHEN USING" those resolutions on a pc monitor or hdtv, including text, player models,etc.. hard to explain i guess but the reason why your text looks clearer or i should say "cleaner" is because with higher the resolution, the higher the detail..even though things get smaller...if you get what i mean...basically the more pixels, the finer the detail

If you were to look at a jpeg image at say 1600x1200, it would be HUGE looking at the picture on a 800x600 desktop resolution, now if you looked at the same 1600x1200 jpeg image at 1920x1440 desktop resolution..it would seem rather small

I get what your saying. Your not finding that dropping the res to 480p make sit look bad.

Its not as crisp and clean if you know what i mean compared to 720p/1080i but on my particular tv it looks pretty damn nice at 480p, 480i looks pretty nasty though but the added progressive for 480p looks great for being on a non high def resolution.

I suppose it boils down to the quality of your own tv and how well its calibrated. I had my hdtv professionally calibrated so it looks as good as it can be on my particular tv.

Everything is bigger with the game at 480p, everything is more close up at 480p and everythign runs smoother like the framerate at 480p with MLB2k7.

Like i said before..this 480p seems to help the framerate run steady and smooth and fielding is ALOT better..seriously.

Im in a hard spot though..i like how much more smooth everything seems at 480p but boy does this game look fantastic in high definition.

Quick wuestion. Are you plaing the retail game or the demo?

I am prettt sure some of the frame rate problems will be better than the demo.

So I can play 480p on my old SDTV....would that be a correct assumption. Forgive my ingnorance.

You'd need at least an EDTV to do 480p. But if you only have regular tv, you cant do 480p
