If it's really sealed wouldn't they just return it???

I am very skeptical on this. There are several outlets that have played the game, including Steve here at OS, who you think would have mentioned this 'massive' slowdown.

Steve mentioned some hiccups but nothing that makes it unplayable.

So the game isn't 60fps? I thought that was a major goal this year and part of the reason graphics saw some reduction.

There are definitely some frame rate issues at times but I don't think it affects the game play. Not sure if this will take my time away from the other game. I am going back and forth right now playing the same teams and kind of comparing the two.

By "other game", I assume you mean The Show 08??

If so, please let me know how the 2 compare. I have the Show 08 and LOVE IT. With some minor slider adjustments it is the best baseball game I have ever played. However, based on MLB2K7, I really thought all they needed to do to get to the Show's level was improve animations and framerate, less HR's, more hit variety. Basically, make it play more like real baseball and make the players move smoother.

Any comparison would be appreciated.

Of course, those were the beta versions.

Have you tried different fielding cams?

Tried it on my HDTV at 720 and its still choppy but better then the sdtv. But I only have 1 hdtv in the house and its not mine. So im stuck with SDTV. Oh yeah. 2k and their infamous stutters.

Which system did you get it for?
