I agree with the whole AI thing. Maybe it's not perfect, but it is way better than last year. Many sliders are left untouched.

it seems the forum viewing for both games is evening out,just two days ago it was 2 to1 MLB2K8 forum.

I lowered pitch corners, throw strikes ahead and the accuracy ones all to zero and just had 3 walks. There was a good amount of balls.

What's up everyone. A little FYI After a nice amount of testing I have posted my Sliders in the Slider Section. As always feedback is appreciated ENJOY

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

I absolutely CANNOT win on All-Star.

Then just play on pro.

The biggest difference in the levels is sliders, so why the big fuss over All-Star. Every time a new game comes out so many people have to play on a certain level and if that isn't working out, they let it ruin it for them.

I don't care what level I play on. I'm going to tweak the sliders to what works for me and have fun playing it. Some games that's the highest level, and some it isn't, and I rarely care either way.

Some games, imo, just play better on a lower level, even if you need to handicap the sliders for difficulty. If you otherwise like the game, I'd drop down to pro, and mess with the sliders that you think make the game too easy for you, and just find something you like.

I still can't believe that the names of two Cubs starting players are mispronounced by the home PA announcer.

Aramis Ramirez- should be R-Rah-miss, not Air-a-miss

Felix Pie- should be Pee-ay, not PIE!!!! He is not set on a windowsill to cool, he is an underachieving Cubs phenom!!

The biggest difference in the levels is sliders.

Actually, once you move a slider, the term "level" doesn't even apply anymore. It's amazing how many people have yet to grasp this - i.e., there is no such thing as "All-Star" or "Pro" sliders for this game; if you change something, the "level" automatically becomes "custom."

He does have a point though.
When recording the audio....there is only one thing to get correct..and that's the pronunciation.
Heck....there is a game out there that says my name....it's not easy to pronounce looking at the spelling(just about every teacher who first called it out got it wrong!)....all they asked for was the phonetic spelling and they got it EXACTLY right.
Attention to detail....makes a big difference. Being sloppy doesn't show much pride in your product.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

The more I play, the more I like. I'm getting the hang of pitching and it is very satisfying striking batters out. Graphics aren't as bad as people are saying except on PS3. 360 looks better; it seems brighter and maybe better textures. 2K8 is fun and I'm liking some aspects of it more than The Show. I can't believe I just wrote that.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

i'm glad you guys are enjoying this game, but as much as i hate to admit it, i can't get past the underwhelming graphics. and it just feels arcadey to me. i can't put my finger on it, it just does. i play on a 1080p pj, and mlb 07 looks amazing on it. i just can't accept the graphical hit this game took after seeing last years game. anybody that says its beautiful this year is being a bit too forgiving. its not ugly, but 2K really spoiled me with last years graphics. so much so that this game is going to be traded in or put on ebay. i'd rather play last years game and the show 08. i know some here will call me crazy, but that's the way it is. the graphics downgrade is compounded by the almost photorealistic (yes, i said it) look of the show 08. not to mention the solid gameplay of the show. again, these are my impressions, not a bash on 2K's effort or a lovefest for the show; i am glad the framerate workaround makes the game a blast for you guys, especially those that don't have a ps3. btw, the framerate workaround works for 2K7 as well. anyway, enjoy.

Here's the thing. These guys are starters. Not bench riding specialists or middle relief-goatee-clones. In fact, Aramis is one of the top 7 or 8 third basemen in the game. So to have his name mispronounced two years in a row is, in my mind, a massive oversight.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

i have to say at first this game was so frustrating that i went to gamestop to see how much a ps3 was...but then i thought better of it and now personally i think mlb 2k8 is the best baseball game i have ever played and top 5 all time behind cod and ff and mgs of course...i just love this game and hopefully the patch will fix the framework so i can actually watch replays during the game and stuff lol

Lol yeah i skip right to the gameplay(which is more fun then it people make it seem) it took me twelve games in allstar to win my first. And just won my second . This games would be way better with a framerate pacth.

Couldn't agree more. I just attemted to play a 7:00 p.m. game in Washington, but it looked so cartoony, I just could not play it. I'm so disappointed. I played 2k7 up until about a month ago. I stopped because I was so excited for 2k8 with the new pitching and hitting and thinking it was going to be so much better. I got this game on Tuesday and I'm so close to saying forget it and just play 2k7 again. I'm trying so hard to like this game, but the graphics are so not up to par with 2k7.
