I have played 3 games with the patch this morning and I am SO happy!!!
I am also ecstatic that I waited for the patch and did not buy a PS3 just for one game!
(and I was tempted BELIEVE ME!)
I don't know about the people complaining here post patch, but I can tell you this about me.
I am a mature, sim guy that demands realism. I don't give a flying fig about editing stances as long as stats and batter-pitcher interface are realistic. (the editing is a DISTANT SECOND to me)
With a tweak of the sliders from Joe or Guru this game is going to be.....dare I say it?.........Great!
