Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

[bullpen]

Got the game this morning...(Xbox360)
Not gonna make a long post but here are the things I would have liked to know before getting the game :

Framerate: Not a problem for me, does'nt change the gameplay
Graphics : Maybe a little stepdown from 2k7...but not enough to let it bother me
Pitching : I like the new system, learning curve of about 20 minutes
Hitting : Much better then 2k7, way more hit variety
Fielding : Huge improvement
Aerial cam: Reminds me of the way I used to play High Heat, good job there
Is it better then 2k7 : Yes it is
Is it better then The Show : Don't know, don't care

Oh good, at least they give you that option...Man, EB and Gamestop don't give good deals...

I play on a 60 gig.

I will say though, the graphics did take a hit from last years...

What's REALLY sad is when folks come back to reality and realize There won't be a patch for the framerate. I don't think there's EVER been a 360 or PS3 game that had it's framerate fixed via patch...that i can recall. i challenge anybody that can name a game that was.

The framerate is a HUGE issue to me. i 1st experienced this BS w/ The Show 07 for PS2...everytime you hit the ball there was a framerate drop i'm still prolly gonna give it shot & see whats up...i guess

I tried playing the game without the HDD and it is indeed smooth! I then created a profile on my memory card and loaded the game up, setup everything the way a like it and had the game save my VIP to my memory card. Well... the frame rate problem returned. I think there may be a problem with the VIP system in the game. I know it tracks and saves quite a few stats in the game. Perhaps this is affecting the frame rate? I know with no profile the game is smooth. With a profile, it's very choppy. If this is indeed the problem, it sounds like a patch could easily fix this. I think the game is pretty good. But it could be better.

Does the fact that we dont have sliders for online leagues not bother anyone else besides myself?
