Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

Gameplay Problems.

2) Fielders running right through balls, ground balls hit and i charge and run right threw it without even a attempt

This happened to me a few times in the beginning. I think you have to make sure that if you are running left to right you get your player in position to place his glove. If the ball ends up by his feet, he won't field it. Annoying, I know. Once you get the hang of it you'll be fine.

5) i cant stress this enough and i hope its been talked about I charge up the meter perfect meter after i charge the ball and he lobs it over so damn slow not only that but my 1st baseman doesnt even stretch for the ball at all and the runner is called safe.

Never had this happen. Are you sure the meter is green when you release?

6) AI is ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE on default pro....

Yes, it is.

I played 2k7 all the way up until Jan. 08. I find myself forcing this game into my 360 and trying to enjoy it, only to get frustrated and turning it off. This patch better be magic. If not, than yes, Major League Baseball should look into tearing up the contract with 2k. I would be embarassed if I was a MLB exec. and this was the game put out to replicate the company I work for. There is no excuse for how sloppy this game was put together. I wonder if they are working on the patch or working on 2k9?

Yea... watch your 1st baseman very close they do not stretch alot of the time, maybe i have to hold it till the red or something when throwing over to get theball faster but that will cause it to go in the dirt, but the stretching from the 1st baseman is lame, he shouldnt be letting rutine groundballs cut it close cause he doesnt want to reach.

And thats what i am trying to do as well, I love baseball i have been playing baseball games since freakn atari, and since this is the only game on the 360 ill be damned to buy a ps3 for one game. I feel that im trying to look over all the bad things to make out something good and beleive me i tried in this game but when the glitches happen i roll my eyes and then i just shut it off cause it pisses me off too much.

Just like the NFL, MLB doesn't really care how the game looks or plays. They just care about the check from 2k clearing at the bank. Execs aren't gamers.

In one way i agree but, i think negative feedback, i mean real negative feedback like the one this game is getting will have some relation to MLB. I think MLB wants a good quality game and they are not getting it, wasnt the MLB mad about 2k6? I think they should be just as mad about this game.

I am certainly not happy about it, but those are the economics of the matter. The Madden deal has show us that gamers will still buy the game even though they know it could be better. There are plenty who really enjoy EA's NFL offering which is great, but there are plenty of others who admit to buying it because they need their "NFL fix". The same applies to MLB and these companies know it.

If gamers could resist the games they think are subpar, it would effect the profits and the stock which inturn would motivate the execs. It would also make developers think a bit more about engaging in expensive exclusive deals.

Im sorry but cmon, to say you dont understand why people are mad about this game is rediculous. There are pages and pages of things people and i have saw that makes it hard to play the game.

The MLB2K6 thing was IGN hinting that that was the case (Jon Robinson I think) - far from actual fact. And if this game is so bad, there's apparently a great one in The Show that's available. If the MLB isn't making money on number of units sold, why would they care? They're getting their money up front. The NFL is the largest sports entity out there and they apparently don't have a problem with the dissatisfaction people have expressed on the forums

Your right...its a shame.... it really is that mediocrity is accepted and people continue to buy games just for the sake of it. In a perfect world we can get all games on all systems and get the competitive nature back and bring sports gaming back to what it once was. Ahhh memories.

Agreed. Unfortunately, I think that consumers in general have become a bit weak. Despite sky rocketing gas prices, we still can't part with our SUV's, or organize into car pools. It is the same with video games.
