Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions
So without reading through all 40 pages... Does someone have the game on this site?I don't like the Yankees, I like the Red Sox, I don't like the Lakers, I like the Celtics, I hate the Canadiens and I love the Bruins. Soccer is the best sport on Earth, but most Americans are too ignorant to realize it. I am American.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions
I read back through like 5 pages. Is everyone being smart and just playing it? Im trying to figure out if its gonn a suck like it did a few years ago, where my experience with 2K was putting it in my 360 and taking it out to return it.I don't like the Yankees, I like the Red Sox, I don't like the Lakers, I like the Celtics, I hate the Canadiens and I love the Bruins. Soccer is the best sport on Earth, but most Americans are too ignorant to realize it. I am American.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions
Someone has it over at the Gamespot forums too...Heres what he has to say about the game.
"Hey Everyone, after about an Hour & a half with the game,
here are my early Pitching impressions,
The new Analog stick pitching is difficult, especially when playing in Higher Difficulty settings,
put it this way, on All star mode, if you don't accurately hit the analog directions correctly, you'll
throw a "Meatball" pitch that will more then likely end up outta the park, in one game I had the Yanks chase AJ Burnett after 2 Innings, he allowed about 6-7 homers, now again , it was clearly my fault, and there were times that I really wanted to switch back to the precision pitching controls from last year, but then I finally K'd someone and I'm going to try & adapt to the new controls,
Hitting early Impressions:
In about a total of 2 full games & one 3 inning game, I managed to hit ZERO homeruns, thats right..
not one, I was hitting with the blue jays lineup, which has 3-5 guys that can go yard, so the potential was there, I was also swinging with the power sing motion with the hit stick 2.0 feature (similar to last year ) and only managed about 6-8 hits, all singles, minus one Frank Thomas double (of all players) so , it actually may appear that the long ball affect from last years game has been scaled down, but again, it's probably too early to fully judge.
Fielding impressions:
again i'm still getting to know the controls, but as you all know you now throw the ball with the analog stick, which you can hold back longer to get a stronger throw, another actual cool feature was when your chasing fly balls, once your outfielder turns away the ball spotting on the field disappears until your player turns back around to look where the ball is going, pretty cool, also in my short time with the game I did not see any outfield wall scaling or anything that was ever so present in 2K7, not to say that it won't happen, but it didn't in my 2 & a half games.
Graphics appear to be very similar, but there is a loss of resolution that I personally found very
noticeable, atleast compared to last years game, the grass in particular doesn't look as true to life as it did in 2k7, the crowds pretty much look the same as well...
Overall I think this actually is a better game then 2k7, but who knows, maybe a few more games
& my opinion will decline, or perhaps I 'll get a hang of the pitching mechanics & I'll only have good things to say , either way, its not worse then 2k7, soo..thats a good thing right?
My rating, based on my time with the game would be about an 8/10
hope that helps."Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions
I dont know.. it didnt sound like it from his post...
"if you don't accurately hit the analog directions correctly, you'll throw a "Meatball" pitch that will more then likely end up outta the park"
The whole meatball thing resulting from analog stick error is just stupid. I dont understand it.Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions
The only thing I would hope for is that he was missing incorrectly the same every time, thus causing pitches up in the zone...
It's only one guy giving a review but when comparing to the Show, I see very few - if any - "ho-hum" reviews about that game...Comment
