you should enjoy the game then. It's not a bad game by any means. Just could be a lot better.

Can anyone confirm you can upload ur music on batter walkups

This game is very, very good. I have no idea, maybe I got a different game than most other people - the framerate issue is the only thing I've seen so far that I don't like.

The hit variety is amazing, Swing Stick is very good (I'll actually use it this year unlike in 2K7), pitching is very fun but has a pretty steep learning curve, etc.

Someone just tell me how the hell you throw to the cutoff man!

Don't forget that you will lose your other games' patches on the 360, like Madden, NCAA, and will have to be online to reload those if you want to play those games patched again.

Personally, I don't have enough experience with the game yet to say whether I like it or not. I definitely like it enough to play the amount of times it deserves. so far, I hate more then anything the frame-rate drop and the red arrow on homers that are not no-doubters. Other then that the game is playing well and it seems like a good game of baseball. Not too many bombs or diving plays and great hit variety. Jose Reyes had a single and triple in the game i just played. The graphics are incredible IMO. I have to play a little more and get into the franchise before I decide how much I like the game buy hey, I have just a 360, nothing I can do.

Can they really address that in a patch?

Anyone know what this first patch was for?
