Well while waiting for the game I decided to buy a used copy just to get a feel. 50/50. I like the new controls and idea behind the game. It would be a great game IF it wasn't for some pretty serious issues. Framerate, the game is pretty smooth when pitching and hitting. It's great when your on the mound/at the plate. Once that ball makes contact with that bat it's another story. The framerate suffers when the ball is in play. Just kills the joy for some but I probably could deal with it. Here's what I couldn't deal with though.

Online is completely unplayable. Framerate is even worse. Lag is just ridiculous. It's absolutely hell online. So I took it back to the store. Thank god I bought it used because I was able to get a full refund. I'll just wait till the patch comes out and see what gets fixed or if a complimentary game just happens to fall in my lap soon lol

So sorry guys but this is a "buyer beware" game if you ask me. Some of you may find no issue with it as many don't but some of us well definitely be turned off.
