What I found is the most defensive posters about baseball games are 360 owners. Coz they are "forced" to own 2k8 for a baseball game.

Actually I think the reason that's the case is because tons of The Show fans come in here posting ******** stuff that's way off-topic so 2K8 fans in turn need to get defensive at times. Not to mention the immense arrogance that The Show fans tend to display for some unknown reason. That doesn't seem to be the case in The Show forum w. 2K8 fans.

As someone else said, I'm a 360 owner but I can easily afford to go buy a PS3 if I wanted to but 2K7 was plenty good to keep me from even considering buying a PS3. 2K8 will be even better and I'll have a blast with it.

I find this funny, but I agree.

Both games look to be bringing it this year.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

Look i'm sorry for being an *** and i really do like 2ksports, there basketball games are unreal but the main thing for me in any game is total roster control. That being said it was just a demo and not the final product so maybe it is in the game? Enough people said that it is including Brinkman, so we won't know for sure til next week if it is. If not i'll move on i've been thinking about getting a ps3 anyway but hopefully i won't have to. I was just a little to overzelus last night and didn't mean to start stuff, it was the first time anyone had really gave out info about the game by playing it and i jumped the gun.I just hope everyone enjoys the game, including myself if i purchise it.

I respect you a lot for this post, instead of bashing desperately about 2k8 like saying im done with it or watever, you clearly state your problems with it and accept that the demos weve seen werent complete.....I am just sick of others just killing the game like they have played it already and it comes to a point where criticizing becomes bashing.....on the other hand you say what you dislike and still leave the door open because you have not played it.......I hope this will set an example of how criticism should be handled

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

I wish i wouldv'e used my head last night instead of flying off the handle but i did and deserved the crap i took for it. I will say though that Highheat for the PS2 was the best pure baseball game ever made! It didn't look very good but that ai was awsome, you had to know baseball pretty well or you would get beat. Does 2Ksports put manger profiles in there game? I've never heard about them doing it, kindda like Tony LaRussa baseball did on the pc? That would be something to look at in future games, if they don't have it in already.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

It's kinda stupid to come into the 2K forums and constantly refer to 2K8 as "Macho Grande" when that is just an inside joke from the Show forums. That's just trolling.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

I come in here to get impressions on 2k and what do I see....BS. Is it ever going to stop?????

I saw impressions on the first few pages but then wham bam its back to the same ol song and dance. Bickering.

Anyhow, from the few impressions I saw before the thread went to hell in a handbasket, I must admit, I am intrigued. The new pitching mechanic has my curiousity peaked and I am looking forward to the demo.

And as the case was for the Show(uh oh theres that word) I don't believe the videos and screenshots that we've seen thus far will do 2K justice. I can't wait to read real previews/reviews from the people who tell it the best....the community at OS.

Sorry to disrupt the norm here, the bickering can now resume.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

Enough with the Show and "Macho Grande" posts.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

Heres really the bottom line. If the lineup, ERA, DL and the other minor glitches that have plagued this title since Kush took over are fixed it'll be worth playing. The new pitching mechanic looks great, I do hope its not the homerun derby 2k7 was and I also hope theres more variety in the hitting this year and more foul balls. But really it comes down to polish and I'd really like to hope that we'll finally get some polish to keep the game from becoming frustrating a few days in.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

in my opinion, the only upgrades that 2k8 needed was to tweek the gameplay...it SOUNDS as though they have done this and then some, this is going to be a great game.

I believe Ben answered that question in the conference call and the answer is no.

The precise reason why I've had an account here for around 5 years, but only have 100+ posts. Some of you guys make it really hard to want to be an active participant of the site. The passion some have for these games is amazing, and that passion makes this the first place I come to when I'm seeking answers about a sports game. But, that same passion often buries threads in run of the mill fanboyism you can find anywhere on the internet....and I disappear until the next big release. I'd love to see folks just relax around here. I really would.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

Am I missing something? Why is this thread so many pages long already before there's even a demo out? I mean, don't these threads usually stay locked until people can verify they have the game, etc.?
