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!

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!!!

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?

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.

Nope sorry, I dont need to wait til Thursday. I'm not wasting my money AGAIN on 2k's crap.

when its not choppy the gameplay is very fun from what i've played so far..pitching is challenging, and the fielding/throwing is really fun...also the sig celebrations i've seen so far have been pretty sweet...manny's most noticeably

Thanks! There really should be maybe a board set up for comparisons between games of the same sport. What stinks is there are a lot of fanboys out there who will mistreat it and use it to bash the other side (and thus rationalize their purchase).

They ruin it for people like me who have no bias. I have PS3 and 360, had 2K7 and The Show 07 and liked both, have the Show 08 and would like to get MLB 2K8 unless it stinks.
