    don't be listless...

    up-date:
    Things 2K8 has, that The Show 08' doesn't have:

    - stirrup socks ( offered in edit & create-a-player )...
    - first names ( announced name database )...
    - choice of uniforms ( both home and away )...
    - the total flight of a Home-Run seen by the naked eye...
    - overhauled hitting code...
    - Mickey Mantle...
    - Stan Musial... (Stan Musial and Mickey mantle were in 2K7, so I'm assuming that they should be back in 2K8)

            I didn't hear anything about the first names being announced. Are you sure? If so, that's pretty awesome!

            I hope "Robinson" is in the last name database...

                  I know it's not a feature but I think the fact that they overhauled the hitting and ripped out old code and started from scratch is good enough to list on here. This does definetley not happen often in baseball video games.

                    Blzer,
                    I'm assuming first names will be in the game again this year...
                    Robinson was in 2K7's last name database, I created Jackie Robinson and both names were announced...

                        Dirk,
                        This is something I can't figure out, if a MLB player's last name is announced, that name should be on the name database...

                          Yes and you can do it in Franchise mode as well.
