It might be. Seems to be a lot more slow-down issues at Wrigley as opposed to Turner Field, imo.

I think the swing stick is much better....whereas last year was pretty much crush it or miss, there is a lot more variation this year. You'll only wiff if you're sitting dead red and get something offspeed.

Otherwise, you'll probably nub it foul, or be ahead and pop it up, etc. Lots of variety.

Yeah, loving swing stick 2.0 much better this year.

LOVE how you turn for a ball in the OF and the catching circle disappears until you turn back around.

I believe the manual is wrong in terms of hitting as well. It says to pull back and release for a contact hit - I couldn't hit doing that, my guy would just stand there. I believe Brinkman said they took the power swing out, so if you pull back and then push up, hitting is fine once again.

From a 1 to 10 how would the people with the game say the framerate issue affected the gameplay>

does anyone play this game without playing against the studs? i found pitching was easier with Brandon Webb and hitting Carpenter was tough. Pitching with Chacin and facing Washburn is fun.

i really think its funny that people post impressions 2 hours after they get the game.

overall, game 1 was fun. that is all I ask for.

I dont have the game yet, though i think the problem with the Stuttering is due to the individual person themselves, or instance 2k7 i was never really able to enjoy it due to the framerate over time it just wore me down, were there are those that didnt mind it. So i think its going to be a individual thing wich sux cause youre going to have to play it yourself to see if you like it or not...thanx 2k
