    I can't tell you how choppy the videos looked I can't tell you how bad the color looks in the game
    I can't tell you how bad the lighting is and i can not tell you that the game looks exactly the same even though it's been a year

    I thought we figured out why there was choppiness. I really don't see how the colors look bad.

    Lighting looks fine to me. As far as the graphics, what do you want?? Last years game had the best graphics in a sports game i have ever seen. Did you really expect there to be another huge jump in graphics??

        I hear ya Tomba. Just try to give it more time. Play the demo maybe you will be surprised.

        I have no next gen console right now. After carefull consideration i will be buying my second PS3 when i get my tax returns. That will give me the best of both worlds. I will prob buy the show and 2k8. I know i will like the show. And if i dont like 2k i will just sell it.

          Re: Am I the only one who thinks it looks awesome?

          This will be my first next gen baseball game so I'm coming to it with a clean slate. Kush and Ben seem like two guys who enjoy baseball a ton, but aren't super anal about a lot of the things that set people off here on OS. So since I don't know them to be individuals who misrepresent things, I'm choosing to take their word that the game is a solid gameplaying experience. It will have a score of flaws like all games do, it just a matter of how much is each person bothered by those trouble areas.

          I think a lot of people like what they see, but don't want to get into a back and forth with those who are disappointed.

              Exactly! I really want to see what the CPU AI is capable of on the higher difficulty settings.

                Anyways, i think it looked fine. I liked 2k7 outside of a few annoying things. If they can fix what i thought was messed up, then i will be very happy with the game.

                When it comes to anything, people expect just way to much. When that happens, they dont think before they start talking.

                  I'm all for genuine critiquing, it's what helps to build a better game,but the personal attacks are uncalled for...

                  The 2K people are dedicated to put out the best baseball game they possibly can, I believe this game will surprise most critics...

                  I think the Short Stop with his hands in the air trying to get the cut-off from a fan in the bleachers, was there because someone pushed the wrong button...

                  I of course love everything visually about this game, from the stadiums warm glow at twilight time, to the new animations, the incredible faces and player models...We all know this game is hard to beat visually, although The Show has made great strides this year...

                  I have faith that Ben and Kush are straight with us when they say that game-play is greatly improved...

                  So sit back, wait and see for yourself...

                  I'm blown away with what I've seen so far, nothing is perfect, so keep posting your improvements...

                  Scooter...
                  Good post Scooter. I'm not exactly blown away by anything (yet) & alot does look like 2K7. But since I'm a PS3 owner the "new" self shadowing & so forth alone is a big step up. Plus the signature animations look awesome & they've supposedly added a ton.

                    I think it looks great and I can't wait to play the game.

                    Good thread to start because the production team behind MLB2k8 should know that there are people here that like what they are doing. They deserve a lot of props for putting together what appears to be a solid title in just two years.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                      I honestly don't know what you guys want graphically speaking. So what if it looks like last year? Last year had wonderful graphics! I can't seriously believe that any of you are disappointed that the graphics didn't change at all.

                        2k seems to ignore this quite a bit, not to say that The Show hasn't either though, as the HR celebrations were pretty dull last year.

                        I remember two years ago that after HR's in 2k, the crowd would fall silent and the announcers wouldn't say anything. It was really awkward.

                          The Shows fans don't go nuts either, but at least they show the player touching the plate and celebrating with the guys that were on base, or high-5ing the on deck batter as he walks to the plate. They even show the celebration in the dugout. It adds a lot. 2K has a 3 second clip of the runner jogging around 3B or 2B, a replay, then they go to the next batter like it's no big deal that you just hit a HR!

                            Ya it really takes the excitement out of the game for me.

                                Are you dense? Of course it's not a big deal in the real world, but in the game world when you hit a HR the pace of the game shouldn't go on as if nothing happened. The game is supposed to mimic real life. When you watch baseball and a HR is hit. Do they show the batter rounding a base for 3 seconds, show a replay, then go immediately to the next batter?

                                Of course not. Play a game of The Show and hit a HR. That's the way it should be. The way 2K does it sucks. You could hit a huge HR and literally 6 seconds later you are batting again as if nothing just happened.
