Really, that news to me. Everything I've read so far has Joba as our 8th inning guy

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

Don't you guys want it to be real ? I suppose some don't care but i think and for me anyway it just doesn't feel right. Do you think the Yankees would bat ARod leadoff or the Mets have J.Reyes bat clean up ? No, never in real life, this is what get when the ai controls the lineups and such, and there for you won't get realistic stats or games and it takes the fun out of it for me anyways. I just don't understand why they can't do this? I'll hold out hope until the game comes out or maybe they make a patch for it and i am sorry for being an *** about it , i was just looking so foward to it because last year i didn't get 2k7 cause of this problem and they supposedly didn't fix it this year either, which is why i'm upset about it.But i will get over it in time. and i really do love baseball espelly the sim kind.

Is that really going to happen?? I never played 2k7 so I wouldn't know. I just find it hard to believe that the CPU logic would bat Arod leadoff and especially Jose Reyes cleanup for any reason. I could be wrong though as I have never played the game.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

A little off topic but it still goes with the lineup bug. I was playing MLB Power Pros today, also made by 2K, and I did a fantasy draft in my franchise. I go to play my first game and guess who's batting lead-off for the cpu? None other than David Wright!

I started thinking and yes he's great contact and a little speed but come on, lead-off? I'm starting to think that 2K is having some problems with the cpu's lineup decisions. I'm getting pretty concerned and I'm kinda mad you can only adjust there lineup before a game. This really getting old.

Dude you haven't even played the game, so your going off of stuff that happen the last 2 years. Did you not read the part that said they work hard on this years CPU FRANCHISE Logic. You think they didn't know that their Franchise AI was BROKEN for the last 2 years. Trust me they knew. If your soooooooooooo worried rent the game & see how the Franchise AI Logic does.

The lineups were attrocious, I remember JD Drew would always lead off for Boston, Beltran would hit like first and Jeter would be 5th in the lineup

I know you really don't like 2k baseball but to say JD Drew lead off every time for the Red Sox is really over doing-it.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

I'd argue that the Cubs don't play real baseball either.

You have just gained my total respect!

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

If you make it here, please, please, please don't call it Chi-town. And along those lines, please don't ever call them the Cubbies.

They prefer the term "lovable losers"
