Nothing major. Any difference in lighting, player models, player faces?

Payer models/faces seem to be about the same.

Playing a night game right now, which also looks the same to me as before.

As you said it was out of 2K's control. Once they submit the patches to MS and Sony, there is nothing else they could do. I guess they could have purposely delayed releasing it to Sony to guarantee it came out on the 360 first, but that would be pointless.

Cool beans....

Does the game play seem tighter post-patch?

We'll after last years debacle where PS3 owners got shafted on a PATCH, I'm glad they got it 1st this time around

Wow, those are a lot of fixes!

My random thoughts:

- Reduction in missed flyballs and outfield "slowdown"? Great!
- Slider values changed for better baseball? Faboo!
- AI takes more pitches? Yay!
- More variety in throwing arm strength? Awesome!
- Harder pitching? Nice!
- Pitcher walks off the mound after strike 3? Perfect!
- No more jogging baserunners? Sweet!
- No first baseman glitch? That's great!
- No more easy pickoffs? About time!

What am I not happy about?

- No saving camera angles? Bummer.
- No tweaking players' batting and pitching stances? Drats.
- No earning cards on personalized sliders? Stinks.

Overall, these are a lot of great fixes. We'll have to start from scratch with sliders, but that's okay. These fixes also serve as a great head-start on MLB 2K10.
