	"Now, while last year's effort was indeed impressive, this year's will push the boundaries once more: not only will we have native 1080p support, but the game will actually run at a silky smooth 60 frames per second while viewing that resolution. In comparison, MLB 08 only ran at 30fps in 1080p."

It really shouldnt have been included, but im sure it sold to some people looking on the back of the case and seeing 1080p capabilities problem was it ran at 30fps and looked choppy

that kinda sucks. Its gonna be a little bit annoying to have to keep unchecking 720p everytime I want to play. oh well its worth it, it looks great in 1080p!

LED droooooool.

I will wait till the tech comes down in price, but LED sure is nice. And wont wear (dim over time) like current florescent cathode.

I played 09 demo game first in 720p then 1080p to see if there was much difference.

First thing I noticed was how much more crisp 1080p was. The led numbers on the phillies RF wall were readable. The ice cream shop in left center was legible too. These words were not legible to me in 720p. The crowd and everything was just definitely sharper.

Now as far as gameplay goes I didn't notice any drop in framerate until swining the bat. I had myself believing that I was late more often on swinging the bat in 1080 mode but I'm not sure. It might be in my head. There wasn't any choppiness in the graphics or animations from what I could tell. Everything seemed smooth but the lateness on pitches when usually I'm early had me thinking that 1080 might be the cause of this. Still say its in my head.

Might cause lag in online play and if thats the case it would be back to crappy 720p. LOL.

amazing attention to detail! What can I say? As a disabled baseball fan, I can say that these people had truly created " the field of dreams". They have built it , so I will come!

Everyone who knows about tv's should know that pioneer is the best. The problem is that not everyone can cough up $5000-$6000 for a tv and it's also a plasma which will kill your electric bill. The samsung he's mentioning is one of the best lcd's right now. Check cnet.com or even pcmag.com. That samsung is the truth. I would love a pioneer but the price is crazy.

I prefer my 92" Sanyo Z2000 1080p projector

I am running final version of show 09 with 1080p setup in XMB. It runs but game doesnt fit entire screen. Am I missing a setting? Looks good but its about a 2 inch border around my entire screen which is 52 inches.

Go to audio/video settings menu and adjust the image size (vertical, horizontal size)... for a 52" you need to slide both to the max.
