MLB 2K8 Game of The Week: Red Sox vs. Rockies

[JT30]

Is it me or does it look like pitching won't be much of a challenge. It seemed like he pretty much pinpointed every pitch he threw.

The guy didn't call off the CF that's why that happened.

Brinkman said it could take up to 5 minutes to master!

HOPEFULLY the pitch control sliders are working this year finally. And if not, HOPEFULLY we can lower individual pitcher control ratings, which didn't work last year either.

IT just never feels right. Cameras for fielding are much better. Still hate the hitting cameras. And most of all Human pitching is still WAY WAY to easy. Now I can be mistaken but until I have a playable demo there is no way in hell they get another 60 dollars of mine. The show has rocked for 2 yrs running and 2K has stolen my money for 2 yrs. This year they need to PROVE it before I even begin to think about BUYIN it. These videos did nothing in the way to help thier cause for me.

You can't judge the game accurately from this video and as for gameplay issues like you say cpu still throws too much in the strikezone. You have 2 options either turn the game difficulty up or work the sliders. I am sure the video you have watched isn't on the hardest level. CPU may throw more balls at higher levels.

Wow a full 9 Inning game....I'm so tempted to look at this..I probably will before the day is out unless the demo comes out by tonight.

Maybe he was playing in Rookie??? Plus I'm pretty sure sliders can fix that.

last year sliders couldnt fix missing spots. Not every pitch ends up where the pitcher intended - just because the motion is perfect. I had to boost computer hitting by a lot to have realistic scores, so even when i hit the spots perfect every pitch i would get punished.

It seems as though every run was scored via the homerun...not good
