How do you get music of your computer into the game

haha Fortunately, no he didn't. But he hit everything I threw at him.. hard, and I pitched outta the zone. Pretty realistic if you ask me.

That sux man. I almost had that problem last year before 2k7 came out. So I almost know how you feel. Definitely check out 2k8! If you are iffy like most about graphics, give it a rent.

Maybe I just don't know what a "smooth" framerate is supposed to look like, or my eyes are just so bad that I can't tell, but I don't see any problems with the framerate. And I'm not "convincing" myself that it isn't that bad, I just flat out don't see anything wrong with it. period.

As to the game, after practicing about 50 pitches in the tutorial, the pitching clicked for me, and I didn't throw one meatball in the game. Now I hit two batters, walked 4 guys, threw 4 ball in in the dirt and had a wild pitch, but no meatballs. The Ump was squeezing me too When you throw a great pitch though, it is F'in sweet. Just after one game, its like the shot stick in the 2k basketball games, I would never want to go back to simple button presses of old.

Hitting is going to be harder for me to get down. I didn't play 2k7, so the step thing is wearing me out, Its probably going to take several(read 20) games for me to get the hang of it, but I like the way its implemented.

Fielding is great, the off line throws being based on use imput is nice. Baserunning is intuitive for a change.

I always turn off the commentary in EVERY sports game, because I feel more immersed hearing the sounds of the game. I cranked up the crowd chatter, umps, and all the other in game sounds, and I'm liking the atmosphere it creates very much.

Since Earl Weaver no baseball game has blown me away, and this game is no exception, but I can tell I'm going to enjoy this game very much, and it will stay in my rotation of games through the summer.

Any impressions on the implement of the cards?

I'm really diggin the game.

I've only played one game but it was a good one.

Cubs(me) vs. Reds(cpu) I won 6-5

To be honest my two biggest gripes are the frame rate and the atmosphere. Other than that it plays great. Hopefully there is some way to patch the framerate because that would put this games gameplay ahead of The shows by alot.

Cool thing that happened though. Zambrano was pitchin a perfect game through 5 and struck out the last batter of the inning and it cut to a cutscene of him looking at his finger and Pinella came out and he had to leave with finger blisters.

is this the same for a PS3 owner?


We'll guys I have basically CONFIRMED the problem is what I posted before. I took of my 360 HARD DRIVE to see if that would help & it did. The Choppiness & Studdering is basically non-existent. The games plays very fluid. The pause between cut-scenes is still there (looks like that's how it's programmed) but everything else is fine..

Here's hoping a fix will be upon us sooner than later
