I Just mentioned it in case you are not online all the time like me. My 360 is not online all the time (long story, but has to do with my network hookup).

I think MVP 2005 or maybe it was 2004 had frame rate issues as well, throwing from 3rd to first threw the computer into fits.

I can overlook a few gripes if they are really trying to make the game a better experience.

WOW, The controls in the SHOW are just fine, I will most definitely give 2K8 more of a chance when I play more tonight, but please, the does many things right, there really no need to do anything different with there controls because they work just fine. Both games have there faults, but 2k8 has some issue that were not suppose to be there this year.

Yes it (the Show's pitching interface) can get a little old at times. I like the batting interface in the Show though. For 2k, I don't quite understand yet when to time my step with the right analog stick since I never used it in the past.

What is the difference between Hit Stick and Hit Stick 2.0
It's funny, but you can influence trajectory if you use classic batting according to the instructions.

Is there a patch for this game already?

[Salhus]

Am I the only one amazed at the accuracy or signature windups and batting stances???

Im sure there are some that are off but the few games i've played are extremely accurate.

It adds a lot of realism to the game and I am simply amazed
