    Look, if you don't like someone's comments ABOUT THE GAME, how about instead of taking a shot at the guy, you stop and breathe, count to 10, punch a pillow, or whatever it takes... and then simply post your comments ABOUT THE GAME.
    Did you not read the crap he was spewing? It was an anti-2k rant and pro, Show. If you don't want to buy the game thats fine. But don't come in here telling us 2k sucks and mlb rules.

      Another thing, this is the same preview build that I've had for a month.....don't put too much stock into how the graphics look.....you have to consider that, I'm showing about a 80% complete game and the loss of resolution the vids take after transfering to the net....


      The game itself looks good and it plays great
      Hey rhude, do you think this game will compete with show for best baseball game of the year?

        Re: I have.......

        I love the detail in the game. It seems to be leaps and bounds over last years version.

        But one thing still bothers me. Every player has the same stride before the swing.

        For example: Manny, and David Ortiz both have large steps before they swing. In the game they have a generic mini step before the swing. It's not a game killer, or anything, but it's still a minor detail that I really wanted to be adjusted.

        MVP did A great job of doing the strides of each player.

        I'm still pumped about getting the game

          Re: Exactly what I thought

          I really dont want to sound like a ***** but it really tweaked how a)Paps was in in the 8th when that would never hapen b) How the game could end on such an amazing play yet the crowd and announcers both dont seem to give a crap

            2K8 will be better but I think the majority of people who have seen the gameplay of both know that The Show is leaps better then 2K8

              The gap seems to be closer than last year when comparing the games

              But I won't be able to make a more definitive statement on that until I get more time with MLB The Show and compare head to head

                Well i am hoping that this year 2K will close that gap. It was certainly the case last year though. I am getting both games. I know the show will be great. And I am hoping 2k8 will be great as well.

                  A few things I DON'T like:

                  1) Two leaping catches at the wall... seems a little too "last-yearish".

                  2) I don't know what it is about the animation, maybe the way their leg follows through... but outfielders still like like little girls sometimes when they throw it.

                  3) The crowd is definitely weird sometimes... Where's the emotion? And when it is there, why doesn't it last more than three seconds?

                    Thats good news. quick question for you, could you see the whole flight of the ball on the aerial cam. I couldn't tell with the viewing area of the vids being so small.

                      I'm not looking for a reason to "hate" 2K8. I'm looking for a reason to throw down 60.00 on it. I'm a baseball nut so I know eventually I'll have it. When the card collecting has me the most interested that means there's a problem. I'm not a huge fan of timed only hitting so that's my first isssue. Second is yet to be seen, and that is if the pitching and hitting stats will be decent. Will I actually walk people and be able to generate walks while hitting. Hopefully the demo will drop soon so I can get a feel for the game. Until then I'm not sure what to think.

                        Oh i hear you, and im not saying everone who has a negative thought on the game is looking for a reason to hate it. But the thing that bugs me is when blatent show homers come in here and bash 2ks games.

                          I went back and read his post. His opinion that the game looks horrible seems over-the-top, but in the end, that's his opinion.

                          But his Show comment here on a 2K thread was tasteless and uncalled for. So yeah, fire away.

                            Understood and agree. I know we'll never get to the level of all gamers understanding competition is good, but we can hope.

                              HAHA nice, Im not the type of poster that would blast someone without a good reason. I have been here long enough to learn that. Anyway thanks for going back and seeing why i said what i said.

                              My biggest problem with this thread is the fact that people are making judgments about a game they havent even played.

                                Report them to the mods, and let the mods take care of it if needs be. Keeps the forum civil that way.
