    Help! 2k7 or 2k8?!

    Hey guys I have a ps3 and I have had 2k11 for a while and am getting tired of it. I don't want the show. But I can't decide whether to get 2k7 or 2k8. Here is what I think

    1) I heard the framerate is awful on the ps3 version of 2k8
    2) and I heard the graphics were better in 2k7

    What do you guys think!?!?

      Already have it. Sorry for not explaining. I have had it since day one, then later I got 2k11. But just want something different. I wanted to get either 2k7 or 2k8 because they looked fun and are something different.

        lol just not very often you hear about someone with a PS3 who wants a baseball game but has ruled out The Show.

          If you want a fun baseball game on the PS3 besides The Show, then I recommend Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2011

          MLB 15 The Show on PS4

            To be honest, the Show, doesn't really have as much of that "Wow" factor as it once did.

            For me, The Show plays a great game, but its far better with the sound off. I'm hearing commentary in the game that I heard when I first got into the game back in '06.

            The dynamic commentary that 2K11 offers, plus the realistic analog pitching, compared to the "attempt" that the Show made, makes it a worthwhile contender on the PS3, contrary to popular belief.

              I love 2K11. With slider tweaks it's possibly the best baseball game I've played since MVP 05 for the old xbox. I don't have a PS3 so I cannot comment on The Show (never played it). But having played 2k7 and 2k8 I'd never go back to either of those having played 2k11.

                  I've played The Show a few times and it's very pretty, but there's very little substance. The thing with The Show is that they have everything down graphically, and aesthetically (all the right uniforms, ability to select hats/tops/bottoms independently), but that's about it. I feel 2K11 is better overall gameplay-wise, and if you're willing to look beyond the graphics, it is VERY enjoyable. To put it simply: The Show is that smoking hot blonde/brunette chick, but she's vapid. 2K11 is the not-so-hot band geek, but she can give you a genuinely good time.

                    haha nice examples. I already have 2k11 though and the show. I need some help with the two games in the title of this thread!

                      I used to have a lot of fun with 2k7. I got worn out that there are 87 home runs per game though. Played 2k8 at my buddy's house and I wasn't really sold.

                      That being said; neither are anywhere near as good as 2k11, in my opinion.

                          ...which takes you right to 2k11.

                            Well said.

                            If I had to choose between 2K7 and 2K8, I'd probably go with 2K7. It's just a more polished game. 2K8 had some improvements (analog controls specifically), but it just didn't feel like a finished product, and the graphics/framerate took a hit as well.

                            But 2K11 is the best of the bunch, without a doubt. I love it on the PC.
