I have my copy, but am not sure if I should unwrap it. Should I? Is it true that it will get better over time?

Unwrap it, you know you want to, and eventually you will :wink: I have always given in to that temptation, LOL!

I'm not seeing any frameratre issues. Unless the stutter when the next batter comes up is an issue.

This is horrible news. I was assured by kushgamer himself that the ps3 would run JUST LIKE the 360 version. It was said that on top of that 60 fps was acheived first on ps3.

Well I really don't know what they think 60 fps is, cause it does not run at that level.

However, aside from frame rate, the game is good for PS3. The only other thing that bothers me is that I don't think there is custom music on PS3. At least, I haven't figured it out yet.

I would read more into the content of the review than the number. I've never understood why people get so hung up on it.

We've had this argument on OS for years. When you have execs citing metacritic review numbers, or people justifying their non-purchase of a game because of it's review number, it's obvious how important it is to some. But it's comical that people still give weight to these sportsgame review joke websites like IGN and TeamXBox. Particularly IGN, given their very long history of ridiculous sports game reviews. In the end, people see what they want to see

Yes, I remember that discussion. Maybe the PS3 version's framerate is better? Which system was it designed on this year?

Oh, nevermind, just read the PS3 framerate is worse. What is up with that?

Reading the impressions threads for both The Show and 2k8 are killing me, seeing as I am staying over by my girlfriend tonight and won't get the chance to play either game until tomorrow. I have been addicted to these forums for the past few days reading the impressions from those who got the game early. I am ready to play! I hate all of you

Anyway, even with all of the negative responses, 2K8 sounds like a pretty solid game to me. Sure it's going to have its flaws, but most of the complaining so far (ie: framerate, presentation) are issues that don't concern me very much. Not that I don't want those issues to be fixed as this is a next-gen game, but I've always been a guy that was primarily concerned with gameplay. And most of the *impressions* that I have been reading have praised the gameplay, more specifically the pitching and the fielding. I am extremely excited to try these new features, as they are innovative and will make the game more challenging, even when you get used to the controls.

Everyone knows The Show is a great game. I am fortunate enough that my roommate has a PS3 upstairs and I have a 360 downstairs, so I will have the ability to play both games this year and am not limited to just one of these games. But for those that don't have a PS3, it sounds as if 2K8 is going to be a really solid option for you this year if you're looking for good gameplay.

Again, I haven't played the game yet, but that's just my opinion from reading the impressions!

Mine does the same thing. Just start hitting buttons. I know thats weird but it works, If you dont it will just sit there. No problems after that.

Hope its not your PS3. It may be your disc. Blu-Ray packs a lot on the same space as a DVD.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 (360/PS3) Impressions

i just got home and tried to play a game. the framerate issue is bad. i have a samsung plasma hdtv running at 720p. i have it connected to the vga port rather than hdmi.

i cannot believe the framerate problem. it clearly happens in the infield on any play. it even starts in the cut scenes of the hard ball central intro. i turned off some features like the ticker and noticed a very slight improvement.

if i was MLB properties i would be pissed. yeah they can fix it, but only for those on xbox live. otherwise, you are screwed. i will try a different camera angle, but it is really stupid. there seems to be a white flash around the human batters right before the stutter.

i may have wasted $60.00.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 (360/PS3) Impressions

I was going to buy this for the PS3 but I noticed on the back of the box that it only says 720p which I assume means it doesn't run at 1080i/1080p. The back of the box for the Xbox 360 says it runs at 1080p. This is a pretty big difference between the two for me.
