Were on the same boat. Just doesn't make sense.

Me too Hmmm...

I have very big reservations now ESP with the fact that i am not completely WOWed by MLB 08 either(AND i'm someone that went out and got the PS3 for it)

WHY in the world would this game STILL be choppy AFTER reducing polygons etc? It's baffling. i will reserve my "other" thought until i either purchase or rent-play the game...

the hitting in that game was a disaster. Especially w/ the 'moonshot' hr's at will. i owned that game and it's not all that.

Because maybe the beta version was stripped down? How does that not make any sense?

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.

Mods not sure if this is the right place for my opinion if not please correct me. 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!

Could it be a cache issue?

It wouldn't be the first MLB2K that has had issues that were resolved with clearing it.

This cant be..... All the reports seem conclusive.
