Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 (360/PS3) Impressions

Heelfan, how are the pitch counts? Pitchers (you and CPU) getting to 100?

Very good question! Stamina as well . . .

Is playing on a HD TV a total no go then?

The crowd is the same, there are no cutscenes to speak of, and Jeanie has more commentary as well as a 7th inning stretch commentary routine with the other guy. Pitch counts are still unrealistic and you can still pitch a complete game with a starter as I did.

Read alot of crap about the framerate but I didn't see anything mentioned about DLP - just plasma and LCD. Anyone having the bad lag on DLP?

It isnt actually lag, it is framerate issues. It will be bad, no matter what TV you play it on.

I'd like to read some more level-headed, detailed impressions. I've read a few but then there are the others that are pro-claiming the sky is falling and the flip-side, with others seemingly calling this better in every way than 2k7.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to post, no matter what category you fall in.

No kidding. And if you are reading these posts and you aren't going to buy the game anymore, I'm sorry, but you don't have to announce it to everyone!

1. Is the presentation better in the game now than in years past? Is there a pre/post game analysis? Is there a nightly/weekly highlight recap like in NFL 2K5?

2. Are there in-game saves?

i wouldnt rate the presentation any higher than last year. the way the pre game starts is awkward like it site there for like 10 secdonds and your waiting for them to start talking then they do the same stuff as last year give a little comment about the teams playing and ho they did last year. seems as though the pre game commentary has ended abruptly in an awkward way as if i pressed start button to cut it short. the secong game i made sure i didnt press start and it sort of cut off mid sentence and the game just started. just awkward a bit. the in game commentray is the exact same commentary from last year. fan email and what they say when u pause the game and all.

Agreed. The impressions thread has quickly become the "That's it I'm not getting the game anymore; I'm waiting until the demo" thread.

Very hard to determine who has the game and their impressions of it.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 (360/PS3) Impressions

Well, I'm back at work and I got to play about 5 innings, and I must say I'm pretty disappointed, the graphics seem like they took a step backwards, there ok but not that good IMO, also From owing both games, there is no way 2K8 graphics come close to touching the Show's graphics. the sound is decent until you hear the bat hit the ball, I didn't notice a lot of choppiness, I saw some slow down, thats about it. Then player models I like the batting stances are mostly pretty well done. I was using the Mets and I don't know why there jerseys need to be blurred, I never understood why this is. Anyway I will give it another go when I get home from work. I'm glad I have 2 choices, I love baseball and thats why I own both games right now, I will say that The show is no doubt pretty much leaps and bounds better then 2K8, I'm not biased when it comes to baseball games, I just giving my honest opinion, thats all....At least I got a cool bobble head out of it. I will play it a bit more when I get home.

Have any of you put your own home run music?
