I would say that the PS3 version looks better, the one flaw that the PS3 version has is that there is some tearing on the player models during play, but overall the PS3 version is brighter, the colors are more vibrant, and it looks crisper overall. Both play the same.

I am still pissed off about the controls when facing downward. I don't know why they changed the "Always Up" control scheme to what it is now, or why they changed the shot aiming direction on the "camera relative" control scheme. I had thought these alterations might have been a glitch in the PS3 demo, but apparently aren't.

Other than that the game is pretty much perfect.

Now that's what I'm talking about... Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'good morning'!

EDIT: DL complete, leaves me with about 45 minutes of play time before I go to work...

this was already a day 1 pick up for me, playing the demo solidified that sentiment.

Not much time to form any impressions, but so far so good. Have to get back into a hockey mindset and stop trying to play it like NHL 08. And the BAP camera makes me a little nauseous at times, but that's why I can't play FPS so I'm not surprised...

I'm actually enjoying Be a Pro! You don't know how refreshing that is for me unless you've played Madden's Superstar - the epitome of individual player failure.
