I currently have a 52" Toshiba DLP and never have any framerate issues (except for CH2K8 on several courts). Thanks a lot.

NP bro. I love my Samsung. I've never had any problems with this before. 08 ran perfect. Samsungs are good tvs. You dont have anything to worry about.

if you read the posts made by jim and nem first of all the demo is an earlier build. the version they played was the most updated version and had no framerate issues whatesoever so the final product will be awesome

I luv the new pick-offs. I had a guy on and Kasmir's 1st move was just a normal leg lift and step to 1st jus to let me know he was watchin.One pitch later, i lead off again and he gave me his quick step throw and frooze me and picked me off, man what a game...

Knight165[/quote you either. I believe most of the things you say are true

all jokes aside it's a bit anoying to see it and it affects gameplay when trying to hit the ball. It' a demo so i take it as that.
Hey Knight i dont doubt

If you're talking about the box scores...don't worry, I'll still post fun recaps...but with a screenshot you don't have to try and make the runs, hits, and errors line up.

My 360 and PS3 are both hooked to the same network and the PS3 downloads from PSN are slooooow as crap. 5 to 10x slower than downloading from LIVE. Not saying it's PSN though because I have no idea what is causing it. I do know it's not the connection. Everything is fine and I have a NAT2. Possible network card problem. (60gb system) If so that means $ to Sony to get it fixed.....

Anyways I've given up downloading/playing tonight. I got so irritated with the speed I canceled it. I restarted it a while ago and I'm about 1 hour in and am at 48%....I'll play it tomorrow....

So why is it doing it on my Sony Bravia in the bed room as well

Cool, i trust you brother, youve seen the latest build. Cant you agree with me though that everything feels really choppy? I have faith, this is the best franchise out. They never let us down

# 196 BravesBoy @ 02/06/09 12:51 AM

Oh yeah...And i had NO framerate problem.......Even if some of you do have problems IT"S JUST A DEMO!!!!!!

# 197 PVarck31 @ 02/06/09 12:52 AM

Played a few games. I thought it was pretty good. Some nice new stuff in there. Yet to see any balls hit in the gap or over fielders heads. I am assuming the frame rate hiccups will be fixed.

The version we played was flawless as far as frame rate was concerned. I played one demo game and did not have any issues. I am pretty sensitive to frame rate considering I play online quite a bit and know how irritating it can be. We are playing 1/100th of a portion of a game, people are putting too much weight on it!

Damn that sucks. I saw you posted fast download speeds earlier as well. I always download things pretty quick. I'm a bit surprised the game downloaded in 20 minutes for me considering the ammount of people trying to download this demo no lie.

How is Ibanez's stance? A pic or vid? He was a former mariner so getting his stance right was a hope for me this year, lol. last year his was a bit ridiculous. sorry guys..

Im from seattle if you can't tell. Keep the vids coming! My ps3 is down for the count right now so all I have to go by is the pics/vids, and they look amazing. Thanks scea, seriously. Looks like a great game.
