sorry to be quoting all these old posts but i just got the demo so I'm reading and commenting on things as I go.

It's pretty obvious that in that picture he's already in his hitting stride. His back heel lifted, his hands went back and down and about to go forward. If this picture was taken a few seconds before, the stance would look as it does in the game.

When I played 08 on my ps2 I had a ton of easy doubles as well. That was at the beginning when I turned my contact and power up and turned cpu speed down.

as someone said, it's the ps3 that switches the resolution at which it runs. 720p>1080i, especially for sports and games. Also as someone said, mony TVs have the GAME mode to which you should set it to. I've had no framerate issues that I have noticed under 720p or 1080p...

I take it everyone just means to play the DEMO on 720p, but please, when the full game is released, there's no excuse to not be able to play this on 1080p.

1080p stresses the vid card more than 720p, I think. Either way, if the game is optimized for 720p, there is no advantage to play at 1080p.

Thanks for the reply Knight thats a huge plus as the throwing meter was hurting the game for me.

Again sorry for the stupid questions guys. I'm new to the series and im dealing with all new options from what im used to.

That's interesting cause every hit in the demo sounds exactly the same for me...

Thanks for replying to the "demo crowd" issues. Atmosphere is a huge selling point for me and I'm glad the final version will be beefed up in that category.
