I've been looking forward to this day for quite some time. I went out and bought both The Show and MLB2k8. I played the Show demo, and knew I would like it. I was wavering on whether to get MLB2k8, but decided that in the long run, I would end up buying it anyway because I liked alot about it in the past, and I haven't bought a game in a while since College Hoops came out.

Haven't played the show yet, but did put in MLB 2k8. I have tried the new pitching and batting. I have thrown a ton of meatballs. I don't quite get the new pitching concept yet, and will have to figure it out by reading on this forum and watching a tutorial.

One thing I noticed right away however is the frame rate is not very good, and seems worse to me than last year. THis is on the 360. How is the PS3 frame rate this year?

I also noticed that there is a roster titled 2-29 to download via Live. Is this different than what the game came with? I had to edit Fukudome right away since I am a big Cubs fan.
Well, hope the game plays well.

Well I just downloaded the patch, turned off the ticker and ball trail, and moved to aerial cam, it made a pretty significant difference for me on the Framerate.

I love the new hit variety, and the hitting does seem much better this year. The aerial cam reminds me of one of the cams that was created for MVP 05 PC. I hit a bomb with DLee and it was cool as hell to watch it sail over the wall from that point of view.

I really think that if there wasn't such an emphasis on the framerate issues, people would be having a hella good time with this game.

No really, should I not pick this game up for 360. I am sking people who have the game, not the show fan

My biggest gripe is why the hell do the players in the OF run into each other???? I stand under the ball or get there first and my other outfielder comes and takes me out. So far it's cost me 4 runs in my current game.

Maybe I shouldn't have bought it since I have a PS3 and the Show, but curiosity of the new pitching system got the best of me.

If you only have a 360 though, its the only game in town and if you really want to play baseball like me, you have little choice, but to buy it, tweak it with sliders, and make the best of it.
