Re: Sorry, but I really like this game

Its not even like its a glitch that was found...I mean I could understand a glitch and even a game killing glitch but you can't tell me the people at 2k didn't know this game played so choppy on and offline...Gamers literally get shat on...In no other sector of consumerism would a half done incomplete product be acceptable...Only in the gaming world can you buy something that is broken from the jump and not get your money back or a legitament warning before you buy it.

These goofball hack reviewers applaud these garbage games and do a half a review while pulling the ole okee doke on us every year...All we do is bend over and ask for KY

do you need a hug, ...or maybe to be put on suicide watch ? lol

Is it me or when playing online you can only power swing, I can't seem to contact swing at all. I always seem to have to push up all the way to make any type of swing

there is no power in the game this year, you have to push up just to swing at all.

There is no "contact" swing. There is only one type of swing and the outcome is based on timing and ratings. The manual is wrong.

Re: Sorry, but I really like this game

I have a 360 with 2K8 and a PS3 with The Show 08, and if you can honestly say that 2K8 is a good representation of the game of baseball, I respect your opinion, I just disagree. I played both games for hours on end last night and this morning, and my opinion, even though I wanted 2K to come back strong, is that after the few initial games, 2K8 is darn near unplayable and an embarrassment. If I only owned a 360, I would try as hard as I could to love this game as well, and would continue to play it, but when there is another option out there that plays a smooth game of baseball and is realistic as well, it's just tough. The thing that really hurt me is that now The Show is graphically better than my 2K8 copy on the 360. I always had that as something I could hang my hat on, but no more. I am simply disappointed. I expected more out of 2K and Mr. Brinkman......In all honesty, online for both games was a joke last night and most people were begging people to play the "simple" classic style. So there I was stoked for 2K8 online play, and people were wanting to play 2K7 style because they were stating the new pitching mechanic is stupid. Again, their opinion, just stating what was being typed. Here's to another year of subpar 2K baseball.....And finally guys.......no patch for a game can or will fix framerate issues.....it can deal with bugs and glitches, but not the framerate it was built with.......

Re: Sorry, but I really like this game

A few question:

Is there anymode were you create yourself and go through the minors to the bigs kinda like the show?

Are sliders going to be able to rectify most of teh pitching probs, like the computer throwing too many strikes?

Is it easy to tell if a pitch is a strike or a ball?

I liked 2k7 so this seems like fun

Re: Sorry, but I really like this game

I agree, I am loving the game. Wish I were at home playing it right now and still getting paid for work. I love the new pitching system. Im still getting used to the swing stick for batting though.

Unfortunately, there is no career mode like there is in The Show. IMO, that's the most enjoyable mode in any baseball game ever.

Some have already reported that they are getting realistic pitch counts through slider adjustments. I'm new to the 2K series so I will give it a few games before I tweak sliders.

That statement couldn't be more false. Frame rate CAN be improved through a patch. NBA 2k8 saw a huge improvement in overall fluidity after it received a patch. I suspect that 2K needed to get this game out the door by release date but a significant patch is in the works and will be released by mid April.

With regards to NBA 2k8, when it was released it was fun but sort of choppy and the controls were unwieldy. A month or so later CHoops 2k8 came out and it had much smoother gameplay and controls. Surprisingly a few weeks after CHoops was released NBA 2k8 received a patch and now it plays just as smoothly as CHoops.

Re: Sorry, but I really like this game

I turned off ball trail and switched the fielding cam to aerial cam.

I have changed nothing and have no frame rate issue. I don't know what to think.
