Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

[PartyCheetos]

on the edge right now on buying it or not...

What does aerial cam look like? how bad is the frame rate, and how bad is it after using the various fixes posted here.

I'm really struggling on buying or not buying this, thanks!

Do you mean with framerate? I don't know because I never played it pre-patch. But, their definitley is a frame rate issue on mine unless I use aerial camera (don't worry, its not a blimp view with tiny dots for people, but it is high up). Seems like a good game so far except for the frame rate, but that will remain to be seen with lots more playing.

If you only have a 360, and you really want to play a new baseball game, I would buy it, otherwise rent it first.

I have my copy, but am not sure if I should unwrap it. Should I? Is it true that it will get better over time?

Please tell us that they fixed that nonsense of putting guys like Rolen at leadoff

I went and bought the game before the reports of these frame rate issues, I opened it in the car so I can read the manual (what a disappointment that was) only to come here and see that there are frame rate issues. Now I probably can't take it back

There is still some stuttering and slowdown, but not like I experienced on the PS3. I played the exact teams...Cubs vs Red Sox at Wrigley during the day....and while it did stutter some, not like the PS3 version On the graphics side I couldnt tell a difference, they looked almost identical, including textures, colors and player models.... I am happy I bought the game, I hit a double in the gap off of JBeck and it felt so good, and there happened to be no stuttering or framedrop, and it looked awesome. You can tell, at least to me, that when the game runs smoothly, it is a beatiful game of baseball...not saying its perfect, but much better than last year..IMO

This is horrible news. I was assured by kushgamer himself that the ps3 would run JUST LIKE the 360 version. It was said that on top of that 60 fps was acheived first on ps3.
