Believe me, the transition is amazing the way it is, and I could care less if a game started and was dark by the 4th. I was merely curious.

Well being a Yankees fan I am used to long innings and long games. By the time the Yankees and Red Sox reach the 3rd/4th inning it is around 9:00 PM!


Plus, Knight mentioned a few days ago that he thinks time of year has an effect on the day/night transition. When I played the demo, Vasgersian mentioned it was 61 degrees. So that could be spring or fall, where it does get dark earlier.

Have you tried '08 on your new TV? Just curious. The fact that most users (including us) are not seeing framerate problems is a bit perplexing. I agree that some users may not notice it, but if it is as bad as some of you are saying, it would be hard to miss. The only video I have seen of people outside this building playing the game has come from the videos posted in this thread and the videos on IGN, which were also from the demo. They are here: http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/143/14307517/vids_1.html I also know that framerate was not mentioned once during the community day...and those guys were not shy about pointing anything and everything out.

I'm using a Samsung LCD 40 inch tv at 1080p and I have the stuttering also, I'm wondering if it's Samsung LCD's that are the problem?

The Show 08 worked perfectly though.

I tried it on 720p and 1080p and they both had stuttering.

I'm impressed... The field degradation is top notch and the lighting with the day/night transition makes me feel like I'm back playing real baseball. I could go on and on about the ejections,reactions,etc.. but I'd be here all day. GREAT! Job, I can't wait to play the full game.

yea, actually the only game I had played up to that point when I mentioned that was on legend and I had given up 8 runs in 4 innings and scored 2 myself. so...upon further review it was probably done correctly.

I am in a 0-0 game now in the 6th and it seems like it progressed a little slower...I guess we shall see in a month!

So is it possible to change pitchers or batters? I don't think there is but one of my guys got ejected so I got to put Pat Burrell in

I think only by ejection.

I also have a little stuttering going on when ever the pitcher is in his windup motion. Other then that, everything else is great so far. I have a 19" Samsung and am playing it in 720p. I never had a problem with 08 so I'm assuming it will probably be fixed when the real game comes out.

Won 5-1 with a 2 run HR by Joyce and a solo HR by Navarro. March 3rd cant come soon enough.
