Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

There has to be a common factor in the TVs that have choppiness...

[bigfnjoe96]

For all those with the game here's my suggestion in reference to FRAME RATE ISSUE:.

If you have a FIXED PIXEL DISPLAY:

LCD or a PLASMA HDTV you should have your system set-up to output in either :

720p OR 1080p. YOU SHOULD NOT SELECT 1080i

If you have a CRT type HDTV, you should try enabling 720p within your system. If you get a signal, leave-it @ 720p.

If your CRT HDTV doesn't accept a 720p signal, then your only choice is to set your system to 1080i..

If you do this you should see improvements within the FRAME RATE of the game

This choppiness talk is scaring me...

Well, my main concern so far after reading the impressions is the "meatball" pitch. I couldn't stand this feature last year, but with the new pitching system, it sounds like this could potentially be a game killer for me.

To anyone that has played the game extensively, if you "miss" with a pitch, does it automatically become a meatball pitch? Basically, I'm scared that any bad pitch is going to result in a meatball pitch, which should not be the case.

Can anyone please give some feedback on this?

Are we under the impression that the frame rate problems are based on people's TV/dashboard settings?

If not, a choppy 2K8 could be a 'deal breaker' for me.

The choppiness I assume will go away if you set the 360 to output as 720p and let your TV convert to its native 1080i if your native mode is 1080i..

Why? In real baseball you are severely penalized for "hanging" a pitch. Great feature...you have to pitch well
