    That's all that matters in the end. I haven't played The Show as I can't see myself purchasing a PS3 for 1 game, but a lot of guys who know baseball well and who I trust have favored it heavily over 2K7. 2K8 is a new year, but if what they say is correct, it's going to take a lot for 2K to produce the better baseball game.

    I want this game to be great as much as anyone, but the incredible graphics get old after a while due to some suspect gameplay and awkward animations. Let's hope it's better this year because I know I won't be able to hold off on a PS3 purchase if 2K8 doesn't deliver!

      Agree, though I am still a graphic whore and it will last a lot longer then it would for most people.

        Like I said if you were able to control all the teams, you would be all over this.

        So you're saying roster control and I love it? Scott, the discussion for me is which game is best. If roster control was included would I like the game more. Yep. Does it compare to The Show. Nope, no way. Would I like for it to. Yep.

        Better graphics for you outweigh gameplay. That's your gaming choice. I'll go with the gameplay first (and there isn't anything wrong with the PS3 graphics of The Show).

            I am not very impressed by the supposed "new" features announced for MLB 08. Most of these features are already in MLB 2k7.

            FEATURES announced for MLB 08:
            Road to The Show 2.0 – True this is not in MLB 2k7
            Progressive Batting Performance – This is mostly changing ratings as the season progresses, i.e player progression, already in MLB 2k7
            Replay Vault – You can already view any play in the game in MLB 2k7 even previous innings
            Post Game/In Game Pitcher and Batter Analysis – This is just a screen showing all the pitches you have thrown in the game, already in most baseball games even PS2 version of MLB 07
            Pitch Grips – This is new I admit
            Crowd Interaction – With the power of the PS3, the MLB franchise is set introduce subtle elements of baseball that, quite simply, couldn’t be done on another platform. A big part of baseball is in the ambiance of the game – having realistic stadiums is mandatory, but the crowd also plays a big part in the overall atmosphere. Gamers will see a vast array of new ambient elements including: fans coming, going and reaching for foul balls, vendors, 7th inning stretch, the wave, standing ovations, dynamic crown actions like hanging K’s, and much, much more. These new subtleties make MLB 08 THE SHOW truly feel like a day at the ballpark. MLB 2k7 already has fans going for foul balls, 7th innings stretch, curtain calls, does not have hanging K's or the wave but is this really different? ASB 05 had hanging K's
            MLB My Music – Ever wanted to make your own video game soundtrack? With MLB 08 THE SHOW for the PS3 and PSP® gamers will be able to take the music that they have stored on their PS3 HDD and add to the list of music played in the Juke Box. MLB 2k7 had this pre patch where you could rip your own music to the harddrive
            SCOUT [SportsConnect Online User Tracking] – If you’ve ever had a difficult time finding an opponent that wants to play online with the same gameplay setting as you, this is your feature. SCOUT allows gamers to set their game preferences, stores them on the server, and then allows the system to look for a Quick Match with an opponent that fits their criteria.
            Pretty much basic online matchmaking we;'ve seen in games before
            In-Game MLB Live Scores – Using our new top of the screen Score Bar display, gamers will get updates on what is going on in the Majors. Along with scores and inning, gamers will also see notables, such as HR’s, complete games, etc. MLB 2k7 had a sport ticker if you paused the game for a while
            Online League PlayMLB 2k7 already has this
            Online News Service / MLB.com Headline Newsand this
            Rivalry Mode – For those with a competitive nature, Rivalry Mode allows baseball fans to set up and maintain multi-game rivalries between multiple gamers or versus the Artificial Intelligence (AI), and keeps track of the stats throughout the rivalry. You can set this up in MLB 2k7
            Franchise Mode – Extending the experience of running a team, performance and player morale are tracked on virtually every level – salary, playing time, batting slot, team performance, and much more.
            Career Mode – The Career Spotlight underscores all of the accomplishments and failures during a career and showcases them in the limelight. Gamers still need to call the shots, but now the ramifications of actions are documented. MLB 2k7 doesn't have this but does have Franchise, season, all star game
            Season Mode – Grind out the162 game season and deal with day-to-day match-ups, refining the lineup and play for the championship just like the pros.
            All-Star Game – Lets gamers take the virtual road trip to New York early to see who prevails for home field advantage in the 2008 Fall Classic.
            Multi-Branch Fielding – • PlayMaker Fielding2k7 really needs to improve fielding
            Adaptive Pitching Intelligence (API) – Catchers will call the game based on individual strengths and weaknesses of each pitcher and analyze tendencies of batters. Gamers will have the ability to trust the pitches called by the catcher or shake them off. (The catcher’s recommendations are based off of thousands of actual MLB® stats.) MLB 2k7 has catchers call pitches
            Pitch Command System (PCS) – • Release Point Pitching – • Pitching Confidence Meter 2k7 has confidence, you can see it on Manager Visits
            Guess Pitch – • My Sliders (Up/Downloadable) – • MLB® Player Motion Captures –• Thousands of Personalized Animations – • New Umpire Personalities
            MLB 08 THE SHOWManagers / Coaches – MLB® managers and coaches will be on the field calling the shots.
            MLB Authenticity, Subtleties & Nuances – MLB 08 THE SHOW features drag bunts, wild pitches, broken bats, check swings, off-line throws and much more.
            Wind Effects – MLB 08 THE SHOW features a wind display showing wind speed and direction. Depending upon the severity of the wind, the ball will drift according to the speed and direction. Wind effects will force the player to take the proper route to the ball and make adjustments on the fly.
            3-Man Booth & Progressive Commentary – Rex Hudler, Matt Vasgersian and Dave Campbell provide the most comprehensive commentary heard in any baseball videogame

            MLB 2k7 has all this too


            I was hoping for big things from a baseball game this year, but what is the big deal about these features?

            If you're asking what is the big deal then you've haven't played The Show. Still, I'm getting both when released.

                Yep, you crack me up. It is all good though. I respect your opinion and I do agree with it. I just think that we don't know which game will be better this year. Sure the Show is the one to beat, but you never know. People used to like Madden way better than 2k, until the 2k step up big time.

                    U said it perfectly.. I really enjoyed mlb2k7 and i know that the show had better animations. I just know that the jump from mlb2k6 and 2k7 were big. With that said im sure 2k8 will be even better and u never know. It can be really great this year..

                      Mlb 07 did not even have decent graphics to be honest. They were horible campared to 2k7..

                        You're reading Scott's spin. I swear sometimes I read his responses and wonder if he even read what I said.

                        I have always said, and you can check, that I think MLB2k7 has better GRAPHICS than The Show. I have said that MLBs graphics and The Shows animations would be great.

                        I'm not arguing anything about either game. I want them both to be great. Scott thinks I'm arguing against his game. I'm not. Giving my opinion on the two comparatively. You don't have to agree, but if you're trying to make it sound like I don't like MLB2k7, or am just a Show fan, furthest thing from the truth.

                          I think scott's optimisum comes from other genre's where the the transformation from one year to the next was astonishing. NHL 08 has to be the greatest turn around in a sports game franchise I have ever seen. The game is light years ahead of the competition.

                          Unfortunately I doubt MLB 2k8 will make that sort of transformation.

                          Until they bring cursor hitting back to these games I REFUSE to buy a copy of any of these games.

                            Yep. MLB2K7 had great graphics....it just lacked in the gameplay department. I'll be happy if they tighten the gameplay and fix the pitching/hitting interface.

                            MLB2K7 was a huge step from MLB2K6, but honestly, how could it not have been? 2K6 was an abysmal mess....and that's if you could even complete a game without it freezing. I don't expect that type of leap from MLB2K7 to MLB2K8, but one will likely be necessary to compete with The Show.

                              Hey that's ur choice u choose to be fustrated because of no cursor hitting.. I myself enjoyed mlb2k7 alot even though i know it's not perfect. So u dont think there was a major jump from 2k6 and 2k7?? Cause there was a major jump and i know it's only going to get better.

                                My biggest problem I have with the 2k series is that the game feels like it has been built in layers but the layers do not seem to totally flow with one another. The Show just feels like a complete interwoven package. The whole game flows flawlessly.

                                I think that it is a major hurdle for the 2k series this year.
