I noticed that there isn't a thread dedicated to the PS2 version yet. So I thought I'd create one. Here are a few questions, I have for anyone that has the PS2 version.

- Are there throwing errors this year? Last year there were none. Are the errors more realistic in number. Last year I think I had about 3 errors in 162 games.

- Are there many new animations this year?

- Are the batting and running mini games in RTTS like the PS3 version?

- Do we still have HR derby, King of Diamonds and classic stadiums?

- Is there any day to night lighting transitions like PS3?

- Are the new fielder routes, hot shots included? More variety of doubles (down the line, over fielders head) not just gappers like last year?

- Are there in game saves?

Thanks.

P.S. Mods can you make this a sticky?

I unfortunately don't have all the specific answers you're looking for, but my buddy picked up the PS2 version (he's a 360 guy) today. just talked to him on AIM and he's saying it's awesome, and the gameplay feels as good as it did on the demo for the PS3.

Ironically, my first exhibition game (as Mets vs. Nats), a routine grounder and Reyes threw too high to Delgado and Milledge was safe (in the first inning, he stole second...Nick Johnson grounded into a DP then Milledge scored on a Dunn base hit,

)

There were maybe 2-4 fielding errors by the CPU's infield though, in one game.

Have only played one game though, so not sure how frequent they are.

I had the opposite for me. Have played 2 games thus far and have had no errors for human or cpu. Won one and lost one playing on All-Star.

Side note: Did you put Dunn on the Nats on your own or is the roster update fixed?

Ya itd really be great to get some more insight. I'm really on the fence of getting this for ps2 but I need some more info. Does it include the legend mode? ... New features in rtts and franchise?... Is the batting altered like the ps3 version? Stuff like this would be awesome to know thanks!

Is anyone else experiencing choppy frame rate when the ball is put into play? I mean its not MLB 07 bad, but its much worse than last year...at least for me it is. I have an old fatty PS2 so maybe thats it.
