1st or all, you are a dirt, dirty liar...haha, just kidding, but that is crazy. And you are correct sir, Brad Penny is friggin awesome. That's what hooking up with Eliza Dushku and Alyssa Milano (and subsequently passing him on to Russell MArtin) does for your game. I have concluded once you hook up with Milano, your game is exponentially sweeter. She needs to be passed around that locker room...

haha with the juan pierre homer i was like wow...then i realized the wind was blowing out but it was still at petco

I've played one game with Penney and he did mash a stand up double and went 1 for 3. I have yet to hit a homer with JP though. That's awesome.

I know that sounds nuts....I'm just not explaining it that well I suppose. On the field.....I ran across a couple of funny glitches....but nothing crazy. One....David Wright ran for a foul ball....then the next thing I know...he's running across the diamond from the first base side!...like he ran clear across the world in three seconds!...but I can definitely see the improvement in the gameplay. Fielding is much better. The game seems much tighter than last year all around in the field. Maybe it's because I'm really a manage only mode player....but I really don't see that the actual mechanics of the gameplay are so fantastic that they make people jump for joy. The are nice....pitching is pretty cool....but it is what it is....it's an element. Again....that's just me...not really a "player". Franchise mode looks good. I haven't delved into it obviously, but there is plenty there. I read about the Padres bug....I didn't see anything like that with the Mets...like the framerate problem...maybe there is a work around.....if there is someone will find it. I'll definitely see how things go with 2K8......there are some really nice things in this game....some things need ironing out....so it's on the radar. M.K. Knight165

Good to hear Knight, my copy from gamefly should be waiting when I get home tonight. Are you playing the PS3 version? If so how bad is the frame rate issue in your opinion? There are some things that have me very intrigued about this game to say the least. Thanks for posting your thoughts.

Just in case you didn't see, they did create separate PS3 impressions thread and changed this one to 360.

Are in game saves in this year? I could of sworn when I went to save towards the end of my game last night there was no option. How do I get to it?

Going strictly from memory, I believe you hit pause, options, save career is at the bottom. I use it religiously after I had my first freeze up.

Awsome. Matsuzaka can run game time up like crazy, almost was late for work cause of his stupid wind up.
