Not yet, im gonna try them though and see if that makes a difference. I got my 360 in April of 06. Could be that, but I hope not cause COD4 runs so smooth on my sdtv.

COD4 is literally years ahead of the 2K baseball game... COD has always been great and has only gotten better, they're still trying to figure out what they want to do with the 2K series...Plus they're starting and working with what I would consider a broken gameplay engine.

At the end of the day, 2K would probably be better off cultivating and growing the "Power Pro's" gameplay engine....

I had concerns when they made the announcement seeing they couldn't get a steady 30FPS last year.

I haven't seen it yet but if true, disappointing. 3 years for frame rate problems.

I think it's the game engine or either the graphics engine(if that makes sense)

what i mean is it seems that they didn't rewrite code so it's gets mixed up with old I'm assuming kinda like the nba 2k games. they didn't REALLY fully redo the graphics engines just tweaked them...

But a beta, should be just that.

A full version should be as bug free as possible.

With the beta, you suppose to iron out all the bugs you find, not create new ones.

If the game is so choppy why didn't they hold it back to fix it, or even in the videos from IGN or Vetszballin we'd see some choppiness unless that was the same beta that have been played by Steve

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

Folks from all over the net are confirming the framerate issue. And the scary thing it's happening to lot's of sets - 720,1080,Sd etc.

Let's hope we can get this thing figured out

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

I'm holding out for more impressions, but this makes my heart sink.

So much for my big plan of buying a 360 right away for some hardball heaven.

the other game is awesome and I'm hoping this one turns out to be also. I just want us gamers to have as many good options to play this year for our enjoyment. Gonna go pick it up now and give my impressions which isn't saying much.

JSKYWALKER1, Ive seen you on The Show boards. Had the Show 08 since Saturday, and lovin it.

seeing as how you also have the Show (or at least played demo) I would love to see some impressions from you, stating the system you picked it up for (I have both PS3 and 360) and a comparison between the 2 games. Setup (what type of TV & res) would also be nice seeing as how some seem to be having framerate problems on certain setups.

I really hope this game turns out good as I am looking for a reason to buy it. Can never have too many good baseball games!

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

i can definatly confirm that there is alot of choppiness. my reccomendation for anyone thinking about getting this game is to wait for more impressions. graphics are major downgrade they cut content such as some uniforms,etc and its very laggy/ i thought it was freezing a few times but it never did. again, these are my initial impressions maybe 1-2 hours with the game. im not telling anyone to not buy it the game sucks, im telling you that if 60 bucks is alot of money for you or hard to come by, wait till tomorrow or thursday when this board can get alot more solid impressions.

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

I wonder if I will see framerate issues if I am using a LCD monitor?

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

I can't comment on the MLB2K8 PS3 because I do not have it but will be going soon to get it, as for the Show it's WONDERFUL IMO!!!! I play it on a 50' Plasma tv 720p. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I like MLB2K8 just as much if not more. Heck last years 2K7 I liked so I just can't see this year being all that bad. Plus I don't want to talk about the Show on this board that is designed for 2K8 unless the Mods agree to have a MLB 08 vs MLB2K8. Peace!!!

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

Are framerate issues something that could be fixed in a patch or is it something that is too "big" of a problem?
I was going to buy this today, but now I'm having doubts...wonder if anyone updated High Heat 2004 rosters for 2008?

**FedEx227** · 03-04-2008, 02:07 PM

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

I'm a bit scared to be honest. I heard gameplay outside of the framerate problems is fantastic, so that's a plus considering they can always patch.

But I'm still a bit scared, I had pretty high hopes for this one.
