Ok a few things.
1) the PS3/Vita integration is seemless and awesome and works perfectly.
2) Both games online pass work fine
3) The PS3 version is awesome but the Vita version holds up very well. The only gripe I have honestly is the framerate from player intros, but again it doesnt mess up gameplay.
4) Menus are slick, music is good and it mimics the PS3 version exactly.
5) I suck at this game. I havent played since 2010 but man I cant hit, so I switched it to "TIMED" hitting which is better but ill eventually switch it back once I get my timing back.
6) I completely recommend this game to Vita users and if you have a PS3 I say get both, the deal is too good to pass up.

Ended up getting both for a total of 29 bucks.
Best buy and their 40% trade in bonus paid for the PS3 version.. sadly no BB stores near me even have a sniff of the Vita version. But my email today came packed with a 10 dollar off coupon for the Vita version at Gamestop.
I was seriously going to wait on this years game until I heard about the sharing of saves.. I can not wait to try this. Sadly ME3 also came out today. CRUEL WORLD!

I think that Analog pitching is really great. I felt like I knew exactly why pitches missed, and when I struck a guy out, it felt like I knew why too. Plus, the timing element that I never quite felt with the regular meter pitching wasn't there... And I felt like I knew why I elevated a ball or threw it in the dirt.
I crushed Derek Lowe in my first game... 10 - 0, 18 hits. Gonna have to turn up the difficulty of the opponent batting. I got into a bad spot early in the game but then recouped and shut Cleveland down with the Red Sox.
Presentation stuff is really, really strong.
"A reminder, an extra green line train is available at the Kenmore stop, or also available at the Fenway stop..." and then the announcer went into something about rt 1. I mean, that's really good... because.. .it's true. After Sox games, they run extra trains on the green line from Kenmore and Fenway all night.
The presentation is just so silky smooth, announcing, stadium announcing, angles, etc. Really incredible stuff. This is what videogame presentation should be.

Yeah. Back when I heard the Rogers Centre announcements about what subway stations to go to I freaked out a little. Serious attention to detail.
I'm glad I bought the MLB combo from Amazon. My Best Buy had around 15 copies of the PS3 version, but no Vita version. They only got 4 in, whereas they had around 25 PS3 versions to sell initially. Doesn't help the promo when the game isn't in stock to sell.
Super dumb question.
I printed off this cover:

But it is massive. Anyone know what the actual size of the from cover is on a ps3 game?

I haven't seen an image load like that since I was on a phone modem.

I have faith when Frankie gets back he'll bring a swag of Mets custom covers.
If I had gotten the Canadian version I never woul have bothered. Love the Bautista cover.

Once again, pitch repetoires are a mess.
For the second year in a row, Jonny Venters doesn't even have a sinker (you know, his main pitch).
Also, Craig Kimbrel has a changeup for whatever reason. Your're lucky to get Kimbrel's fastball up to 97.

Looks like Blizzard produced the Canadian version.

I'm holding off on playing Franchise until Knights OS Minor League roster is done. Usually just as the season is starting.
Well done, sir!

Thanks for the info. Basically I have to wait 3-5 fucking days to get my online code. Fucking Sony. Good job asswipes. If you cannot implement a fool proof system for this online pass shit than don't fucking use it. Before this I didn't mind online passes but this makes me hate the fucking idea. Fuck online passes, greedy bastards.

I wish I had captured or streamed my first game. Braves vs. Mets opening day. Braves had a 3-2 lead in the 9th, but David Wright immediately smashed one off Kimbrel to tie it. They loaded the bases on Kimbrel with just one out.
Ruben Tejada up with the bases loaded and one out. What happens? The CPU fucking suicide squeezes on me to win it.
BOTTOM 9
-- PITCHER CHANGE: Craig Kimbrel replaces Jonny Venters.
-- David Wright homers. 0 OUT (ATL 3, NYM 3)
-- Ike Davis doubles on a fly ball to right field. 0 OUT.
-- Jason Bay intentionally walked. 0 OUT.
-- Lucas Duda strikes out swinging. 1 OUT.
-- Josh Thole singles on a fly ball to shallow center field. Ike Davis to third. Jason Bay to second. 1 OUT.
-- Ruben Tejada safe at first on fielder's choice. Ike Davis scores. 1 OUT (ATL 3, NYM 4)

Fair enough... I just hope the minor league system got a huge tweak somehow..

I wish the Mets could do that in real life lol. Ive been a Mets fan my whole life and I have never felt this shitty about a season in my life.

Sadly, RTTS is still messed up with the stupid coach benching you for "stealing" when you're not. Idiot manager has benched me and has threatened to bench me again for stealing and I have 0 steal attempts... It's been this way for 3 years.

I'm 2-5 as the Yankees so far lol, I just couldnt hit but I adjusted some sliders and I'm back in business! One of the games I lost I was up 7-2! I gave up a grand slam and then they tied it in the bottom of the 9th and we ended up going 12 inning where they won it on an error by me 
This shit is fuck as hell...I cant wait til April!

Holy shit! I did not expect this game to cut into my Mass Effect 3 time but RTTS is great. I have been trying improve
my double A pitcher after a rough first outing (pulled in the 4th inning, lol).
RTTS question:
Does anyone know how to use a Curveball effectively when its ratings are low (Control 46:Break:41) ?
I cannot hit the strike zone with these pitches at all.

Man, Hosmer's model is spot on in this. I'd like a custom cover of him, too... I looked for a while in that Operation Sports thread, but damn, it's over 80 pages long.
My lord.... the Vita title is amazing. I've popped the PS3 one in and done the 10GB install but had to run out of the house. Brought the Vita with me... haven't set it down. Battery about to die almost 4hrs in; amazing visuals. Some slowdowns when camera pans into crowd close ups but I bet they work on that. The amount of animations built in is staggering, this is what sports fans always wished for in a mobile title. I just hope Madden and NBA 2k follow up w/ jaw droppers.
I've put a couple of hours into the Vita version so far. Wanted to try the PS3 version out but by the time it finished installing, it was time for my wife's TV shows. Started a RttS player and am enjoying quite a bit, though I suck at hitting. Graphics don't bother me too much and I'm sure it'll just get better next year. I've already uploaded my save file to the cloud so I can test out the PS3 version tomorrow.

Played a couple of games on the PS3 last night, and my god, am I rusty. I'm not sold on the pulse pitching yet but I'll give it a decent chance. Loved the variety of hits I saw in the games I played. It was also good to see the outfielders go for a deep ball on the run and it not be an almost automatic catch everytime.
I have never had that happen to me ever.

Me neither.
Never happened to me either.

what scale did you use?
Gonna print out a David Wright cover for a friend of mine.
I printed the PS3 cover at 80% of the file size and the Vita one at 32%.
