    Played my first full game of 2k8

    Played my first full game yesterday. I figured I paid $37 (had a gift card) for it so I might as well play it. After setting the game to 6pm game time, turning off the ticker & ball trail, zooming in, setting fielder camera to dynamic, going to classic pitching and adjusting sliders I had a good game. I lost 6-4, but gameplay wasnt as horrible as the first few times I put the game in. Just thought Id share.

    Also anyone with a PS3 who isnt having framerate issues, are you using HDMI, Component, Composite or SVIDEO?

    (NOTE: I do have The Show 08 aswell before anyone starts the "You should be playing The Show responses)

      So how would you compare the two games?

        Pretty sure there's already enough threads comparing the Show and 2k8.
        There is no place like Nebraska
        Dear old Nebraska U.
        Where the girls are the fairest,
        The boys are the squarest,
        Of any old school that I knew.
        There is no place like Nebraska,
        Where they're all true blue.
        We'll all stick together,
        In all kinds of weather,
        For Dear old Nebraska U!

        Won't change this signature until Nebraska wins the National Championship...posted 8/16/05

              I'm using HDMI cables with my PS3 & still see the framerate issue...

                I wonder if component or Svideo is the way to go for the ps3 - I thought I read somewhere that someone wasnt having problems with framerate when using svideo or component.

                My opinion is that The Show 08 is a close representation of MLB baseball. So my sim-side prefers The Show. If 2k8 worked properly - I think its a fun game. Whats funny is I played more 2k7 over Show 07, even though I owned both. I guess Im happy to have a choice in baseball cause when I get bored with one I can go to the other.

                  It's not the cables because all my other games I play like CoD4 plays great with no problems using HDMI. It's their game.

                  The Show is a great sim game but I don't want to play it anymore after 3 years straight, I want something different like 2K8.
