Group me with the ones who liked most of what they saw. Sure the game will have some flaws (and please someone list me one sports game that does not have flaws cause I would love to pick that one up) but so far none of them scream GAME KILLER! Thanks for the explanation on the fly ball that makes me stoked when playing the OF. Heres hoping theres no massive franchise bug or freezing issue (especially with 2Ksports history) that itll take months to patch and turn so many of us 360 people dying for a baseball fix off.

Right

When a ball is hit over your head and you have to turn your back to it and run to the spot where you think it will land, that's when the ball indicator disappears

It will reappear once you turn back around and relocate the ball in the air

That makes sense because we've all seen fielders put their head down momentarily taking their eye off the ball, get on their horses to try and track balls hit over their heads

It's really a nice touch and makes catching those long drives a bit trickier

Not sure about the rain in domed stadiums Pride

See, reading stuff like this really gets me excited for this game. It won't be perfect, but it should be much better than last year's game, especially with all the new mechanics/features in the game.

This game might just be alittle too hard for me to play.

They have all the options to go back to the simple controls in case it's too hard

Small "glitch" I picked up but nothing big. Willy taveras comes up to bat in the 7th and his batting gloves are in his back pocket but he's also wearing them.

That is cool, I will try them. I still don't like the swing animation. Maybe next year they will fix all that for the graphics whores like me.

That is not a glitch they do that in real life. You have batting gloves and baserunning gloves.

Well it did look cold in the video...something like maybe 20 degrees or below with everyone's breath showing up everywhere.

So maybe he wanted an extra pair to keep his hands warm?

Only in Macho Grande

Re: Vetzballin.com: MLB 2K8 Game of The Week: Red Sox vs. Rockies

look, there are good things about this game, but the problem is 2K shot itself in the foot over the last couple years. There is no one to blame but themselves for negative reactions thus far. If the gameplay was truly fixed (Though I could write a full page on why you shouldn't just take Brinkman's word for it) then it will be a much better baseball game and a solid pickup. I disagree with previous comments about "whiny nitpickers," though. People who are shelling out 60+ dollars on a game have every right to want it to be great. I can agree that certain things are less important, but things such as crowd reactions, stadium atmosphere, CPU AI, etc., can make or break any sports game. For those of us who have the option to get both, it may not be as big a concern. But for people who only have the option of 2K8, they have every right to be vocal about what they feel is wrong. After all, if Brinkman is to be believed, it's these complaints that were taken into consideration when trying to improve 2K8 over 2K7. Bear in mind, I am talking about legitimate complaints, and not "my game is better than your game" rhetoric. I think this game will be a significant upgrade over 2K7 (which is more important for 2K right now, IMO, than how it fairs against The Show) and should lead to a promising 09, but it has its flaws (at least from what we've seen) and they need to continue to be addressed.

...okay, I'm off my soap box now

You can report the post to a mod using the report post link. But I don't really think he was hating, just making a joke.

Nah I am not hating at all. Just poking fun and I was using "Macho Grande" as a code word so to speak. Just being a goof.. long day at work.

Sorry if I offended anyone.. just having fun and don't see the need for all the bashing that goes on about 2k8 and MLB 08.


Again I apologize
