...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
I just got my copy from Sony. Here's what I posted in my other thread:
This is very, very cool and I hope more games utilize this. For people who have overscan issues in 720p (or other resolutions), MLB 07 for the PS3 actually allows you to fit the full image on screen by condensing the screen vertically and horizontally. Just thought I'd pass along the news.
Actual impressions will soon follow.

I might buy a PS3 for this game.
I need a baseball game where I actually feel like I'm in control. To be honest, 2K7 is pretty good, but there are still points where I feel like I have no control over where the ball will go off the bat (meaning the timing doesn't really make sense).

Can anyone explain how to use the new pitching technique? It's pretty confusing, and the manual doesn't explain it.

In the show, where you place the ball, is where it breaks. Here's a youtube link explain API and PCS. What do you think so far? 1 quick bit, the flags are for show, its not an indication of the wind in the game. To see the wind, press start upper right on menu screen blue arrow.

It's definitely a much, much, much better game that MLB 2K7. Visually, I'm actually very surprised, because the game looks very nice. When you're batting or pitching, the field doesn't look like one disgustingly washed out texture (like in MLB 2K7) - it looks great. Player models even look pretty good, the animation is better than 2K7, especially the transitions between each animation aren't anywhere near as jerky.
Played through 8 innings, and not a single homerun, this is on the rookie setting too. If I'd been playing MLB 2K7, I'd have had 5 HRs by now. Instantly feels far more balanced and tight than 2K7.

So is it basically the PS2 version on the PS3?

What gluv said. Basically the ball doesn't go where you aim (unless it's a four-seam fastball), you have to judge the trajectory of the pitch. So for example, say you want to throw a 12-6 curve ball that breaks right at the knees. You'd aim the pitch about chest high and let the breaking action take over. You'll notice after a pitch the strike zone will show exactly how the pitch moved through the zone (the crosshairs mark where you aimed, the trail shows the break, and then where the ball ended up).

I know, this is probably my most anticipated sports game since Winning Eleven 6 hit stateside. I loved the PS2 version but the game looked horrible on my LCD and the framerate and odd glitches took it down a peg. It may not be a major upgrade but having it in HD @ 60fps with the glitches fixed, added animations, commentary and (hopefully) polished online play is going to be very sweet.

AlphaSnake, just a few questions that are of concern. I hope you can addressed them, stemming from the PS2 version.
1. On the PS2, the Adaptive Pitching Intelligence(Catcher calling pitches) Had a tendency to call way to many fastball.
Could you sim a season in franchise and see if trades happen.

Sweet! My wife is giving me this for my birthday. I will have it Wednesday. Really looking forward to this. One of the reasons I bought a PS3.

C'mon AlphaSnake, I'm dying here for some info.
What I'm excited about is SCEA San Diego did something very special for the fans of the game this year through PSU and OperationSports, is that they asked for those of who wanted to hear our name in the game to send it in(via email) spell it phonetically so that we could hear our name via create a player. I got the talent waiver in the mail and returned it, and the Dev. Said that they were able to get 70% of the 3000 names that were sent in from those who filled it our correctly.
I'm just waiting for Matt to say my name from the Road to the Show and once I arrive to the show.
Dodgers here if a league is established.

Does anyone play the PSP version online? I picked up the PSP version yesterday and love it. Musashi?
So played this a bit over the weekend. It's extremely tight, and leagues better than 2K7.
Random quicky observations:
- A perfect 60fps, though visuals are overall a bit too clean and sterile. Needs a little more grit.
- Stadiums are gorgeous (but lacking some key animations), but someone needs to find a way to texture grass/turf to make it looks like grass/turf.
- Awesome animation and transitions as expected
- The eyes are horrendously scary. Everyone looks like O_O
- Great 5.1 DD, tons of ambient sounds and commentary seems top notch and seamless
- 720p native, will upscale to 1080i and 1080p
- Requires 2GB install
- As with the excellent PS2 and PSP versions, there's an insane amount of stuff to mess around with.
I started up 2K7 afterwards and it made my eyes bleed.

Sorry, Denogg, I don't bother to play portable much nowadays, but I'll be happy to play you anytime on PS3
This game is going to be THE BEST.
They talked about the game for a couple of minutes on the latest EGM Podcast. Animations looked good, game plays just as good as the PS2 version, but they were disappointed with the stadiums and graphics. Brain Inithar sounded really down on the graphics. We need more impressions, I can't wait any longer for this game. I need something to fill in the next two days.

60fps with all the bug fixes, dedicated servers, etc. means this rules my life.

Brian's comments on baseball games are a little annoying.
He disses MLB 07 PS3 for not looking as good as MLB2K7, but doesn't care it plays 100000000000 times better. MLB2k7 is a framey 30FPS mess with the worst fielding camera in the history of baseball games. Oh hey it looks awesome in stills though.Mrbob said:Brian's comments on baseball games are a little annoying.
Yeah, that's exactly how he came off. Earlier today I thought to myself, I hope reviewers don't dog the game because of its visuals. After listening to him, I kind of cringed.
