So this isn't just my copy? I was thinking about exchanging it because I've had a couple of INFURIATING late-game freezes. I wish they'd have addressed that instead of the framerate.

1) Framerate issues
2) League Sliders + Fantasy Draft like last year
3) On-line Lag
4) More accurate Stat Tracking
5) Effective Steal / Hit and Run Sliders
6) That dumb 2nd / 7th inning commentary. It's awful to put it lightly.
7) Jerseys that were available last year to be re-added

They have not out and flat out said they will not be fixing the PS3 framerate issues but they also never said they are going to either. If you could get a definitive answer on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I found it a little problematic when reading a post about the PS3 version is basically its not even confirmed that the PS3 framerate issues can be fixed with a patch. It's bascially the PS3 hardware itself. Then to compare your game to the Madden series, just blew my mind. Shows you the dedication to their product.

I've learned this lesson from 2K. I haven't purchased a game on release day in a few years. Never again. I wish everyone could show a little patience. Maybe they'd stop releasing incomplete games.

After hearing this news on no patch for the PS3, my Game will be on ebay tonight. I lost all respect in a lot of people who make and work on this sorry excuse for a baseball game. I'm done.

Three years of buggy games on the 360 drove me to sell my system, buy a PS3, and purchase MLB 08: The Show. I have played sports games all the way back to Madden on the Sega Genesis, and this developing practice of treating console games like PC titles (1. Release incomplete, poorly-tested game, 2. Gather customer complaints, 3. Release patch, 4. Rinse and repeat next year) has gotten very tiresome.

MLB 2K8 has driven me off of 2K sports games completely; I have wasted too much time and money with their titles. Color me a Sony and EA sportsgamer going forward.

I am considering doing the samething. I would not call it a sorry excuse for a baseball game. I'd rather call it an extreme let down on all the hype that was talked into the PS3 version (Pixelation/bad shadows/poor helmet reflections/horrendous fields/heads that turn white/bats that blink white). I would call it poor programming and not hardware issues like 2k is blaming it on. At the same respect, 360 users will have a good baseball game to play and not be completely robbed of their spring fever to play some baseball Everyone needs a little baseball!!!

Wishing I could take the first 12 seconds and last 10 seconds out of this video. Just listen to the overall message of the video and NOT the game. It hits it right on the head. This is the best sport boys.
