Official MLB '08: The Show(PS3,PSP,PS2) Thread

There's a patch? I played late last night and received no prompt. I'll check OS and see if they have any info.
Edit: No official change log, the devs do post there so maybe they throw us a bone. Some users are reporting tweaked/improved batting stances, a guy posted that HF mode is harder, another saw some weird outfield bug. There's only two dozen posts or so, not enough to really get a feel of what they fixed (or didn't).

I was 0-4 online and after the patch I'm 1-4. Whatever the patch fixed, I like. 
On a serious note online play seemed really smooth but it could have been the time of day that I played. It was early afternoon and I usually see lag late in the evening or at night.

Is this if you let them warm up too long or once they're in the game?

I'm just guessing but try deleting everything but your career saves and re-install the game.

I've been practicing on and off for 2 weeks and I still can't bat for shit. I'm playing on Vet and am not using power swing or the pitch guess thingy. I'm beginning to think I just suck.
With the newest roster update I think Im going to actually start a franchise mode game next week. Go Tigers!

Batting is tough. One thing I try to do is watch where the ball leaves the pitcher's hand. Do you always swing at the first pitch? Once you get ahead in the count it should be easier.

The battle between batter and pitcher is so situational. Are they trying to get you in a fielder's choice or a double play. That is just the pitcher and defense. Are you trying to get a bloop single or a sac fly. In AA and AAA, you can sit and wait for a pitch, in the pros, the pitchers have better command, the ball breaks better as well.

This is what ruined the road to the show mode for me. You end up watching loading screens far more than hitting/fielding with your created player. It's unfortunate.
I've been playing quite a bit of MLB08 on PSP and PS3 recently, and strangely, I seem to prefer playing it on PSP.
On PS3, I'm finding the load times very long, and the AI (especially of fielders) to be worse than on the PSP. Also, as others have mentioned in this thread, there are many graphical oddities with the PS3 version, such as players going through/in to barriers, and seemingly freezing in one position while something else happens on pitch.
Still enjoying playing RTTS on both platforms, but I'm hoping MLB09 is improved on PS3, as even though the home console version is very pretty, I think the actual game on PSP is more enjoyable.

I've enjoyed the hell out of the PS3 version, but I don't see myself sitting in front of the TV with so many games coming out/time dedicated to sports that are "in season" (NHL & NBA).
So I'm thinking of trading towards the PSP version.
How's RttS on the PSP?

Pretty much the same as the PS3 version as far a I can tell. Not being from America or Japan, I'm quite uneducated about the finer points of baseball, but I can't see any significant difference in the structure of the RTTS game on either platform.
Like I said, I personally enjoy the PSP version more than the PS3 version. I've ripped my UMD to memory stick in order to speed up loading times, which helps.
