Please post someone if you do NOT have this problem. I need to know if it's universal

I hope this is something that can be patched... I played the show at gamestop and it's looking awfully good right now...

Woa.. early verdict is showing it was good to hold off on this, hope they at least have a patch for the issues

I totally agree. I am ITCHING bad to play this game as I love baseball games- but choppiness and a graphical downgrade? The meatball pitches things seems to be way overblown as well but I'm sure that can probably be adjusted with sliders.

I am waiting for either a demo, or some in depth reviews before plunking down $60 on this one. I'm going to have to stay away from electronics stores though because I am an impulse buyer and if I see it I'll probably buy it.

Thank goodness I have MLB 08 The Show on PS3, or I wouldn't be able to wait it out. Need my baseball fix!!

I'm reserving judgment until I see it myself, though. The problem is that some interlace native TVs will convert from 720p better than others, so it may be hit or miss..But from what I gather if you do own an interlace native tv you should adjust to 720p before you even load up if you have the option to.

Why do all my other games run fine on 1080i though?

These early posts are probably going to make me around $430 lighter in the pocket today...

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

just messed around with the game a bit.

Graphics are okay. not bad but nothing that makes you say WOW. Really like the new throwing meter / controls. Game plays better than last years so if you liked last years you should not have any worries. I haven't messed with sliders or anything as I am just getting a feel for the game. There are definitely some frame rate issues at times but I don't think it affects the game play. Not sure if this will take my time away from the other game. I am going back and forth right now playing the same teams and kind of comparing the two.

Sounds like MVP 2005 still is the best baseball game out there. How sad to say this in 2008 with next gen systems out there.

Anyone else with a PS3 version, does your PS3 lock up when you try and go Online?

Hey,

I don't have MLB 2k8 (yet), but I did pick up MLB 08 The Show last week, was so excited to play it, then it would get to the "Press Start" screen, then when I hit start it would freeze right there.

I thought after all this wait, I had gotten a defective copy! And I had driven a long way, bought it at some ghetto mom and pop location with no receipt.

Anways, I went to the PS3 main menu and set internet connection to "disabled" and the game started fine. Some people on The Show boards chimed in and said they had the same problem and it is related to what router you are using.

Maybe it could be the same with yours just on a different game? If you want to read the thread I started on The Show board the thread title was "Defective! I may be SOL".

Hope that helps.

Can you guys that don't have the game keep your opinions of why it was a good idea to hold off buying the game to yourself. It's hard to distinguish the impressions from the reaction to the impressions.

I think 08 the show holds that title now

Well it'd be a game issue.

What your doing by forcing it to output in 720p is making your TV convert it to 1080i. Some TVs do it better than others..

Yes...based on the impressions of 2 people and they game has been out about 2 hours...i think you are jumping the gun here.
