Exactly what I thought
Simply horrible......Last years poor game with different camera angles. Crowd still sucks....Pitching/batting interface looks to be the same, you still are going to be completely guessing when at the plate...The sounds of the batted ball all sound the same, whether you get jammed up inside or nail the ball on the sweet sound of the bat.......Thank you so much for putting this video up.....it simply confirms how truly gret the Show 08 is...Comment

Re: Vetzballin.com: MLB 2K8 Game of The Week: Red Sox vs. Rockies
Just as a reminder, in case you didn't see it. This is quoted from Matt Blumenthal on his initial impressionds from the front page.
I had an opportunity to demo Major League Baseball 2K8 this afternoon. His official writeup of the event will be up later this week, but we wanted to get some quick thoughts up here for you guys.
* This game looks beautiful, the player models have improved but the real leap is in the animations. The animations move silky smooth and there is no need to worry about herky jerky animations of the past anymore.
I will take his word for it about the smoothness. So hopefully this will put to rest the perceived choppiness people are seeing.Comment

Re: Exactly what I thought
I honestly think that people like you are looking for a reason to hate the game. Maybe its because you can only get one game and you want the one you don't get to be bad.
To me the pitcher/batter interface looks great. I am able to tell the pitch and the break, something that was almost impossible last year. Plus there is a rumor that bat sounds will be fixed in the retail version. Also you should always play the final retail version of a game before making a decision about it.Last edited by PVarck31; 02-27-2008, 09:50 AM.Comment

Not true
First of all, you don't know me, so please don't try and predict what I can or can't do when it comes to a game. I was simply stating my opinion after watching the video just like you. For your info, I have both systems and can have every game out there if I choose, this is just simply one I won't purchase. Listen...the Show 08 hasn't changed much either, it's just that it is lightyears ahead of 2K8, whether you want to admit that or not. Again just an opinion. i was seriously just thanking the poster for the video, because for me, it answered a lot of questions.Comment

Re: I have.......
I came away with a emh feeling. I like the foul balls and the pitching system looks cool but the catches from inning 1-3 by Varitek and the two by Ellsbury in center looked a little weird. The crowd is pretty bad and im not a big fan of the camera angle right under the players nose when they walk in the box. Def looks better then 2K7 and u cant judge graphics by these vids. It just feels lacking IMOComment

Re: I have.......
Ok I just saw the Lugo HR in the 5th , after that I don't really want to see much more. What happened to the HR cam? Why is the crowd so quiet, why is there the generic pitcher is mad cut scene?Comment

Re: Vetzballin.com: MLB 2K8 Game of The Week: Red Sox vs. Rockies
That's how I feel too Joe... something about this game just looks like a lot of fun... especially the pitching (I'd even throw the hitting in there right now too).
Hard to tell with the fielding, i think that will be more of a play and see sort of thing.
Also, I don't hear people talk about this too much, but I love how 2K has day/night progression, and different weather affects, instead of it always being either sunny or dark outside. Adds a lot of feeling to the game... for me at least.Comment

Re: Exactly what I thought
Why do people have to toss out these sorts of comments?
Look, if you don't like someone's comments ABOUT THE GAME, how about instead of taking a shot at the guy, you stop and breathe, count to 10, punch a pillow, or whatever it takes... and then simply post your comments ABOUT THE GAME.Comment

Re: I have.......
I agree with you on the camera, I hate looking at the wall when a HR is hit. However i think the aerial camera might fix this. The crowd seems better though, i think he is "buttoning through" the crowd noise thought. As far as the pitchers reaction, whats wrong with that?Comment

Re: Exactly what I thought
why isnt there any intro or stat overlay from a guy out the pen? Okajima and Delcarmen just came in w/o anything. Also its not major but it irritates me that there are 20 people behind homeplate, but I realize they need to hit 60 fps somehowComment

Re: Vetzballin.com: MLB 2K8 Game of The Week: Red Sox vs. Rockies
No doubt, the strike zone does move around a bit....can't get too comfortable
Another thing, this is the same preview build that I've had for a month.....don't put too much stock into how the graphics look.....you have to consider that, I'm showing about a 80% complete game and the loss of resolution the vids take after transfering to the net....
The game itself looks good and it plays greatOG.
