Alternate Home, and Road. Home seems to be their basic whitish color with Indians on the front and the Alternate Road is the Blue Jersey.

I didnt play last years game on the ps3. I didnt own one then, but the graphics look really nice to me for a baseball game.

I just got the game, so playing on the default settings. I just fouled a ball off my leg. lol

From the other thread:

I know you don't have the 360 version to compare, but sometimes on ports, without even playing the 360 version, you can just tell the PS3 version is taking some shortcuts; with textures, lighting, shadows, jaggies, etc.

Seeing anything like that?

Do the CPU batters take strikes more than they did in the demo?

Hopefully you played the demo

Can you merge the other thread with this one?

I dont see to many jaggies. NBA2K9 had some, but this one looks alot smother. I am not saying there isnt any, but it imo looks really good. I am also about 10 feet from my tv.

Are you playing with the old 3-step pitching mechanic? If so, does the yellow pitching circle change at all? How do you know when to release? Gesture feedback?

And please, play around with difficulty settings, Inside Edge sliders and AI batting sliders, and tell us what kind of results you're seeing with AI batters at the plate. Are they more patient and disciplined? Are your pitch counts getting higher?

The one thing that hasn't been discussed is the Franchise Mode. Is it sound?
