I think Madden got criticized more for it's turnover issue than the framerate issue. From what I understand many PS3 owners were pissed because they felt if the 360 version did 60fps, then the PS3 should do the same thing and thought it "lazy" programming. But I think APF had the same issue.

Either way, I don't think people were saying Madden PS3 was unplayable because of the framerate - it was because of the 6+turnovers a quarter (I don't own the game, just saying that's what it seemed most people complained about). I think people are trying to equate Madden's turnover issue with MLB's framerate issue which is ridiculous imo. If MLB2K was some homerun fest, or there were tons of passed balls, then that would be equivalent. And that's why some people see the framerate issue as being blown out of proportion - the two issues aren't close to being proportionate it would seem.

I definitely love the controls in this game but I'm still not happy with the break on pitches...for example, a curve ball in this game does not seem to do much and then breaks at the end...on the Show (I don't have it - just based on videos I have seen) some of the curveballs look nasty/more realistic...

I know what you mean on the break of pitches. I think that has more to do with each individuals pitches. I have seen some very nasty sinker and curves.. but I also have seen curves that look more like changeups.

Ps3 demos come out on Thursdays. I would imagine this Thursday it will be out.

Now, the shoe is on the other foot, and they're trying to convince themselves the frame rate isn't a big deal. Now, you know what us PS3 gamers had to go through with Madden and NHL. As much as you want to spin it, it just wasn't good enough.

Ok, so I lied. I'm back but only to make a few comments here and there.

I, personally, don't care about fps. It just doesn't bother me so I don't even notice. I'm not even sure what everyone is arguing about with fps. I just play the game and as long as it doesn't lag I'm fine. I haven't noticed anything that would be annoying to me.

I'm perfectly happy with this game after one day. We'll see how I feel in a month. Right now my biggest issues are CPU swinging at too many first pitches and the CPU not throwing enough balls. But I haven't played with sliders so we'll see how that works.

I don't have to justify my purchase. I'm happy with this game. It plays good baseball to me.

I don't even care to try the demo because well, that would be a waste of my time and I honestly don't care if people do or don't buy the game. I'm enjoying it so far and that's all that matters to me.

That's why I'm retiring from these threads. I'll make some select appearances but that's it. I rather be playing the game.

The PSN store almost always updates on Thursday afternoons. The only times it doesn't are special occasions, such as the Warhawk release or the GH3 Dream On download.

If the 360 demo came out today, the PS3 demo will more than likely be right behind it tomorrow.

Beaten to the punch! D'oh!
