MLB 2K8 vs. MLB '08: The Show Graphical Comparison

[pike]

bs bs bs, if this is a Legit comparison, explain the green sky, and the saturated skin colors. Thats a TV problem, not a game problem.

The guy who posted his own shots proved the difference pretty well I'd say.

OS is so anti 2k its not funny. So pike you should run away while you still can.

I own both games, graphically speaking there's no comparison. The Show is so much better looking it's ridiculous.

OK, all you 2K fans accusing OS of using a lower quality TV and camera for 2K8 because it looks so much worse. Gamespot did a very similar comparison (http://www.gamespot.com/features/618...atures;title;1) and got the SAME results. The Show just blows 2K8 away in every way IMO especially graphically. Now I will be anti-2k because I like The Show better and personally think 2K8 is one of the WORST baseball games I've ever played. However NBA 2K8 and CH 2K8 are great basketball games so save the flaming.

You have to be kidding me with those LOW-RES Gamespot Screen shots... There's no doubting 2k took a step backwards on Player Graphics, but when it comes to Player Models they did a much better job with this years game than last years game

Here's the thing, even with the pics from your "tuned" TV, the Show still looks better 6 ways to Sunday.

Graphically speaking there's no comparison between these two games.

The bottom line is those 2k8 screen shots are in no way representative of how MLB 2K8 really looks like...

The show owns. Again

I know you feel the need to defend 2k at all costs, but I think it's very representative of how MLB 2k8 really looks.

Not defending, speaking truth. The 2k screen shots used in this comparison are not representative of the product

Give me a break Op Sports. At least be professional when posting an article like this. The screens are no where near 'fair and balanced'. I'm not going to say that 2k8 looks better, because I've never played the Show, but on my Sony Bravia 52', the game looks ALOT better than the crap posted above. It's not the games fault that the players look like cartoons, the moron who took the shots needs to run a calibration on his TV, starting with the contrast, hue, and then the white level. Second, he needs to ditch the crappy camera.

After the "2k8 Sucks, I want a refund" article, its starting to look pretty biased here.

You never played The Show??? Well that explains it.

That 2K pic of Joe Borowski scared the sh*t out me.

LOL!!!!

Re: MLB 2K8 vs. MLB '08: The Show Graphical Comparison

You can put both games on the same TV and the Show will still blow it away. Sorry to rain on your parade. 2k8 faces aren't that bad, it is just that the Show this year step up big time. If there was no Show this year. 2k8 would have some nice faces too, but because of the Show there is comparison. It is what it is!

[stateprop]

OMG Comparing the MLB show grahpics to MLB2k8 is graphics is like trying to comparing Tupac to Souja Boy. I mean seriously MLB2k8 graphics to me now is a failure after seeing these images.

Explains what? I have already stated that I am sure the Show looks better. That's not my argument.

My argument is that OP Sports looks CNN covering Obama--totally tilted to the point of making it fodder for a SNL skit. You post comparison shots, with one game having the pictures be perfect to the point of looking like they were touched up and the other game's shots being done by a guy who admits he's no professional, on a TV whose picture settings look like they were set up by a 3 year old.

If you were to come to my house, and see 2k8 on my Bravia, you wouldn't change your mind that the Show looks better, but you also sure as hell wouldn't say that 2k8 is crap either.

I'd love to see someone from OP Sports comment about the fact that first they posted an article about a guy wanting a refund from 2k, then post this article where the screenshots are not even close to being even.

As for the Gamespot comparison, if you watch the YouTube video review, the host makes the statement that both games look great, and the another guy even says that the Show doesn't blow you away at first. They sure as hell don't mention cartoon characters, green skies, or players with radioactive skin. I guess their TV's are screwed up.

As it is, I'm not trying to be a Homer for 2k. If I had a PS3, I'd get the Show for the controls (I'm in the minority, but I hate the new pitching controls) but it's irritating when an otherwise respectable news/entertainment group like OP Sports post something as tilted as this.
