No he means that 2 players won't be able to play on the same team. Head to Head play will always be a staple in sports games.

So what impressed you the most?

good to hear. I couldn't figure out way they would take something like that out.

Guys, I went back and double checked on the lineups. As mentioned, you won't be able to set lineups and pitching rotations for CPU teams in franchise mode. However, you will be able to change their lineup and select their starting pitcher from the pregame setup screen.

Thanks for all the info.

I'm bummed we don't get co-op play. I really enjoyed this mode all the way back to NCAA MVP 06 and of course the BIGS. Maybe next year...

I like the rest of the early impressions that are posted, sounding good.

We color me impressed. I look forward to reading your full write up (selfishly, I hope soon)!

My wife and I are taking a 'delayed' honeymoon in London next month, so no big purchases until then. But a 360 and 2K8 will be mine by mid-March. Can't wait!
