Aye, it was addressed a couple of days ago. The devs know. This is a 3 month old build I believe. So we can rest easy.

I have a Samsung 32" HDTV, and I get the black bars as well. There's a 'stretch' option for the input, and that'll fill up the whole screen without distorting anything. I imagine it adds to the (already incredibly numerous) jagged edges, so I don't stretch it, and am stuck with the black border.

Man, I'm really struggling with hitting. I've played maybe 15 games ... most on legend and I can't get the timing down. I'm early on everything ... then I tell myself to wait a split second longer and it blows by me.

Using 1/4 Guess Pitch with coverage indicator.

I just had B.J. Upton rip a shot down the third base line...literally and into the corner for a double that just knocked The Bosox' Jon Lester out of the game....

Oh wait a sec! I'm playing The Show '08! hahahah

Ibanez hit one right on the scoreboard in RF...and I finally scored a run without the need of a longball. sac-fly got the job done. Hamels with an E and the 2 runs scored after that were unearned, they fixed that unearned/ER problem.

I can't wait for the full game now. I just got two tickets to the new Yankee Stadium for the June 6th game versus the Rangers. Section 106, Row 16. AWESOME seats. When I get The Show, I'm going to sim a season up to that game, play on manage only mode, then look at replays from my seat to get an impression on what it will look like. I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there is the option on your remote to click on picture size therefore put it on Just Scan and go to the game and video options and stretch the screen...it will not distort it at all

Welp, finally won my first game!

Granted, I'm playing on Veteran, but I'm still proud

After playing many of demo 09 games, I really wish we had a new commentary guy. Too bad they didnt get harold reynolds instead of, or with vasgersian. That'd be awesome!
