Anyone else get this game? I am finding the Smart Stick quite challenging. The pitching I'm starting to get a hang off, but batting and fielding are a lost art.

Update - Potential League forming. Can we get 12 teams?

GWB - NYM

Zowned - BAL

Falcon - No idea.

is it worth picking up?
I like it so far. The controls are different, that's all. It feels like I'm participating more, as opposed to simply mashing on A. It will definitely take me awhile to get up to speed. I started off a franchise with OAK. First game was against BOS and I didn't even get out of the first inning. Started over, played an A ball game and lost 11-3. At this point, I have no business playing a big league game.
 
FWIW, there is a patch coming for the framerate issue and a temporary fix for it until it comes out.

Once that is corrected, I'll love the game.

Oh, and IN for a FBG league. I claim the Mets.

How many peeps do we need for a league? Do we have to have one for every team? Or can we have less than that and have the computer control the rest?

Normally you can just set it at whatever you want (12, 14, 16, whatever) and that's all there will be. No CPU teams.
 
I want to get this but have been concerned about the framerate issues...if they are solving that I might have to snag it.

League created.

League Name: FBG iFriends

Password: nipsey

I made it a 12 team league with a 24 game schedule. Trades are on but injuries are off. If everyone wants to have them on, we can change that I think. We can also turn off trades if need be. It's on Pro difficulty for now.

I took the Mets.

Got the game this morning at gamestop.I'm having a good time with this game.pitching takes some time, and there are some pitches that I dont get a good feel for at times..but isnt that baseball?? Last game I just could not snap off Josh Beckett's 12-6 curve consistantly, so I didnt throw it all that often.

I think sometimes we get a little spoiled, which causes us to go bonkers over a games friggen frame rate and we forget that the game plays a good game of baseball out of the box.

Now if there was a way to get the CPU to throw some balls every now and then.

ETA I'd like to be in the league as well.

GT-zeroway21 team I picked is Boston.

The more I play this game, the better it gets.
Really? From what I've been reading, people that want the game to be great are telling themselves that. Otherwise, it plays pretty horribly.I don't know either way, just asking. Have you had issues with the frame rate?
I really like it and think it's a huge step up from 2k7. Graphics are only slightly less detailed but are smoother overall. 2k7 had jaggies like crazy. This doesn't. The framerate has become less noticeable even without the "fix" so it isn't bothering me as much as it was at first. Once that's fixed, I'll be happy. I didn't win a game until last night. Won 3 out of 4 and all were close games. Most fun I've had playing a baseball game and I tend to give up on games pretty quickly so I'm not just saying it. You really need to play about 10 games to really get the hang of it.No experience with The Show - no PS3 - so I can't compare the two. I'm sure I'd enjoy that too. All games have issues. Sounds like a patch is coming for the biggest on this game has. :lol:
