I did get the game last night but was only able to get in 2 games.
Overall after reading a ton of impressions yesterday I was not expecting much from this game. I was really surprised how much I liked it after playing 2 games. Yes there are some frame rate issues but not enough for me to not like the game. The frame rate issues do not effect the great game play at all for me.
PRO'S
1.The 2.0 swing stick is great, although I believe the manual is wrong you dont pull up for a power swing. The only way to swing is to pull back and they push up. In the manual is says to push up for a power swing which again is just wrong.
2. The cpu AI seems alot better this year.
3. The new pitching system. I am listing this as a pro but I have not figured it out at all yet.
I really struggled to pitch, I gave up 10 runs both games I played. I just dont get how to hit your spots at all with this new system. The reason it is a Pro for me is just that it is hard, every bball I have ever played it was always way too easy to pitch.

CONS
1. The very small stat overlays. Is it just me or is it damn near impossible to read the text on the screen? I have a 55" TV and all the info on the screen is written so small I cant read it. Is there a way to make this text larger???
2. Frame rate could be alot better, enough said.

Again these impressions are after playing only two games.
