Oh thanks for trying.

Well I guess I was trying to figure if it is the stadium or if it is the commentary causing the problems..You should be able to turn the commentary off in an option somewhere..

I feel like I'm @ work doing application debugging.. :\

Gotta be honest. I know the framerate can be annoying, but this game is really fun on PS3.

Just finished a game against Tampa Bay playing with my Yankees.

-Pitching is awesome. I love it. It really emphasizes on making the best of your pitch. No more tapping a button for easy success. It is pretty much impossible to ever perfectly "gesture" a pitch, which to me will make this feature long lasting.

-Fielding is great. I love the throwing, the one throwing error I made was because I held the meter too long, making Jeter bounce the ball to first. I like the fly ball landing circle disappearing when going backwards as well.

-Hitting. I struggled a bit. Hit two solo HRs with Jeter and A-Rod, but didn't have much other success other than two singles by Duncan and double in the gap by Damon. I want to work the count but the computer is throwing too many strikes on all star. I plan on either adjusting sliders or moving up in difficulty.

There are fewer fans in the crowd - fewer polygons.

Which is why I would like to see a minor league stadium with MLB players and commentators..If it is the stadiums couldn't they release lower res stadiums in the future?

Ok, I'm just gonna throw this out there. This is a question for the hardcore baseball gamers:

I just bought 2K8. I'm looking at the box as I type this. I have been reading every post on here, and it seems like the only real problem is this whole framerate issue. Now, I only have a 360, and I love baseball (I also enjoyed 2K7 last year). I also refuse to buy a PS3 for one game. So, I guess my question is: Is this framerate issue bad enough for me to skip this game and buy Army of Two instead?

My game so far has proved to be as stuttery as in a regular MLB stadium.
