Now for graphics, My mouth dropped to the floor, game looks beautiful for a handheld..I mean really, anyone who had a complaint out of the gate should get glasses, to me game looks almost Identical to the PS3 version, I mean the stadiums are freaking nice and the players models look just kike the PS3..I'm presently surprised, it exceed my expectations in the graphics department.. I will be back with more, but I will say this is all I ever wanted with a handheld to play my sports game like THIS!!!! Great Job SCEA!!!!

Thanks for the info. Now I feel a lot better about my Vita purchase

You still have all of the game "options" that are in the PS3 version, including new pitchers getting their 8 warm up pitches. Yeah, I miss the presentation but everything else is as addicting as ever. Especially with this version of "Road Show."

Now this is what I'm talking about. In bed and still able to get my Show fix. I had this same experience last night and it was an incredible feeling

Exactly how I feel now and felt at the CE!

Glad you enjoy it.

So sweet having lighting progression on the handheld as well!!!

Because I was able to get the Vita version early I had it with me with waiting out the Mass Effect crowd at Gamestop tonight. Managed to finish one game and get another 4 innings in on another one while waiting it out. While there may not be "presentation" on the Vita, having the "Show on the Road" is worth the price of admission, IMO.

I'm assuming I don't need to provide a picture at this point. I'll gladly delete this post if I'm still supposed to.

Question: How on earth do you check your swing using Timing hitting?

I can kind of check using Analog; but no matter how hard I try (even trying to do it on purpose) I cannot cause a check swing using Timing Only hitting on the Vita.

I wonder if there's a pressure sensitivity option I'm missing?

The Vita doesn't have pressure sensitive buttons.

Do you know whether or not that means there's no checking your swing with button hitting? Honestly, I'm not sure that it can be done.
