Major League Baseball 2K8 Screenshots - The Stadiums

It baffles me that the people at 2k don't pay enough attention to detail as the fans of the game do. There is no excuse.

If they paid attention to detail like a lot of fans do, the game wouldn't ship until December. It would be like:

"Oops, Dice K's eyebrows are too dark. I gotta go in and change that."

"The stripes on the Yankees uniform are too close. Let me move them over a few millimeters."

"Aw man!! Who in the hell made his eye-black too thin!!!!!!"Oh well, gotta change it."

Think about it; If MLB 2k8 was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, and MLB 2k9 was the same, people would say "I'm not spending $60 on a freakin' roster update."

I guess my frustration is not necessarily about eyebrows or uniform stripes, more that other games seemed to have more accurate stadiums, heck the best stadiums I have ever seen were in 2K's The Bigs.

My guess is that if EA buys Take 2, they'll start with The Bigs code instead of 2K8's.

Well what erks me is that honestly there is NO excuse what so ever for certain stadiums to not be fixed for over 3 years. I think if 2k went out each year and worked on a small portion of the stadiums each year by now or next year they would all be fixed. I understand with all the improvements this year Next year i better c this game running at 60fps NO dropping, and completely redone stadiums if not 2k can eat me and i will never buy a 2k baseball game again, cause there will be no excuse NONE!

Yea i what i dont understand is that the bigs looks better then MLB2k8 why dont they some of those graphics first the stadiums like the poster obove me said look great.

At least it looks like they have true capacity crowds this year. I hated in 2K7 when I'd be playing the Mets in the Subway Series and there would be way too many scattered empty seats.

Yes, but at least last year's game had seats. They took out the seats in this game to optimize for 60 FPS.

Hopefully they can find ways to up the graphics and maintain 60 FPS next year.
