No framerate fix for PS3 MLB 2K8

by pastapadre
Posted March 24th, 2008 at 7:06 pm

Earlier today 2K Sports sent out a press release regarding the patches that are being worked on for MLB 2K8. Amusingly it was the very same statement word for word that was given to Game Informer and discussed here 10 days ago. I wonder if that means the “shortly” it will supposedly be available relates to now or when it was originally communicated. As I eluded to when breaking down the statement, 2K was ignoring the PS3 consumers and not addressing the framerate issues while doing so on the 360 side.

Loot-Ninja contacted 2K and received specific confirmation that there is no framerate fix coming for the PS3. The only issues that will be addressed in patches are the framerate for the 360 and the Padres’ roster glitch for both systems. There are no other changes to be expected out of these patches and no others currently in the works.

Last year with 2K7 it took over four months after the 360 received a patch before the PS3 got the same one. You can also include 2K8′s demo in the discussion as they kept it from certification long enough that it wouldn’t be out prior to release. So in a way it isn’t a surprise that 2K has shown little to no concern for that group of consumers based on those previous actions.

It’s almost as if they’ve conceded the PS3 to MLB 08: The Show. Sales wise it’s understandable as VGChartz has The Show outselling it 2-1. I’d imagine that number will only be even greater next year after being treated as second class customers (that’s if 2K is still around to produce a 2K9).

No mention regarding the overwhelming online lag, although an improved framerate could contribute to a better experience. It is unlikely though that would be the sole culprit and I wouldn’t expect performance to all of the sudden be adequate. It also appears that there are no plans to add sliders back into leagues which was a feature inexplicably removed this year.

It is also reasonable to be cautious as to whether the patch will actually fix the framerate to begin with. The “temporary fix” (which involves turning off advertised features of the game) seems to help but by no means gets the game to run at 60fps. This was an issue with the game that was visible from the outset and 2K was well aware of it, yet the game was still released in that state. There have even been cases of patches not fixing issues they were meant to. Most recently trouble came from Take Two’s own Bully patch which was intended to improve framerate (among other things) but has resulted in reports of it not working or even causing more problems.

So it makes sense to hold off judgment until the patch actually arrives and can be evaluated for effectiveness. If it comes and does get the game to run consistently smooth that would be great. That is of no consequence to PS3 owners however who have no potential fix to look forward to.

Not really surprised by this…2K has baseball exclusivity on the 360 with MLB 2K8. If they are at all concerned about either version of the game they are going to work on the 360 version. I don’t know the exact sales figures for 2k8 across both platforms…but seeing as though the 360 has sold more units than the ps3…and those ppl who don’t own both systems and are baseball fans are stuck with the shoddy 2k8 gameplay, they would choose to try to appease their biggest market.

Bottom Line: If you own both systems and appreciate a good game of baseball, get The Show. If you only own a ps3…and bought 2k8, trade it in and get The Show. It seems that 2k8 isn’t going to sink any more money into a game that is getting dominated by MLB 08 on the ps3.

I’d say it’s more like the PS3 is a just as attractive, but way-too-bitchy-so-no-one-pays-attention-to-her sister.

If I owned a copy of the PS3 version I would seriously consider writing 2K and requesting a refund for a broken game. They have acknowledged that it is broken by offering patches to fix the issues.

Poor customer service equals a decrease in consumer confidence.

I own both the PS3 and 360. I downloaded the demo for the PS3 and it was unplayable due to the horrible framerate….

I’ve heard that this problem is the result of people leaving their guitar plugged into the game while playing MLB2K8. If you have a guitar, try unplugging it and see what happens. If you don’t, then I don’t have any other suggestions.

It’s a tough situation for Microsoft on the Blu-ray front. The Blu-ray Disc Association is spearheaded and funded largely by Sony, so Microsoft would have to license the proprietary technology from Sony to build any sort of 360-based add-on.

Additionally, Aaron Greenberg (X360 group product manager) said that Microsoft will not pursue X360 Blu-ray compatibility. These comments came just this month– making it unlikely that Microsoft changes stance any time in the near future.

Also, drop the “PS3 sucks X360 for life” bullshit. Pasta runs a clean ship around here and no one wants to deal with such blatant fanboy-ism.

I own a 360, and not a PS3. This news makes me happy. I could care less if PS3 gets the update. I don’t get into these system battles. If I want a PS3, I’ll go buy one. I have more than enough money to support two systems. I just won’t because PS3 has no exclusive games I want. As to the 2k conceding to the Show on PS3, you may be right. Baseball is not a big seller anyway. Nobody’s buying a next gen system this week because baseball is here. Far as I know COD4 averages the most players/games played online daily. Thats a system seller. So when GTA drops, do you think 2k cares about baseball fixes? They’ll be making big $$$ on both systems, and you the gamer, won’t even be playing baseball anymore, you’ll be playing GTA off and online.
Now if they would only release the update…

I can say this. I bought a PS3 just to play The Show…I own the 360 as well and to only have one option, which that lone option is junk.

Baseball is a tough sport to emulate but, if done right, can be excellent. 360 owners are getting shafted in regards to 2K. I like 2K but their baseball title has regressed….

I bought a PS3 for The Show and Blue Ray. If you really like baseball and have the money, you would too. The Show is a system seller and I wont be buying GTA. I have had a 360 for more than a year too. Let’s face it. With EA ready to take over 2k, 2k’s resources went into something other than their baseball game. So my money went to The Show, the most polished baseball sim yet. The biggest no brainer in a long time. This is the Holy Grail of baseball gaming, so far.

I bought a PS3 for The Show and Blue Ray. If you really like baseball and have the money, you would too. The Show is a system seller and I wont be buying GTA. I have had a 360 for more than a year too. Let’s face it. With EA ready to take over 2k, 2k’s resources went into something other than their baseball game. So my money went to The Show, the most polished baseball sim yet. The biggest no brainer in a long time. This is the Holy Grail of baseball gaming, so far.
