Major League Baseball 2K8 Screenshots - The Stadiums

[Steve_OS]

We have just posted screenshots from all of the major league stadiums, from our beta copy of Major League Baseball 2K8. Did they capture your favorite stadium correctly?

Thanks for the Pics. I think the stadiums look great. Glad to see some of the minor league parks in the too.

Thanks, Steve!

Looks like Busch Stadium was corrected, but it pisses me off they haven't corrected Miller Park or updated PETCO Park.

So Blzer are you gonna get the game? Or are you still waiting for 2k9?

The stadiums overall look pretty good, with exceptions of Milwaukee, Minnesota, and maybe Arizona with the color of the walls and overall look of the place.

Well, it's my roommate's 360, so I'm going to rent it. Maybe (hopefully) he'll like it enough to buy it himself, and when I get a PS3, I'll consider getting it or The Show (or neither and play Power Pros whilst waiting for next year's games).

This game and the other game are great, don't get me wrong. But I don't want to spend cash that I know I can hold off for until next year, especially when I'll easily have other games to occupy my time.


I wonder why 2K didn't market their game more until now? Finally all builds have been distributed to gaming sites, and they had an absolute blitz yesterday. I also saw an ad in a magazine (ESPN maybe?) for MLB 2K8 advertising the Reyes bobblehead. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

Yep, Miller Park is wrong again. They don't have the new scoreboard in left field, nor the new "party" area out in right field. Now that I think about it though the entire stadium is a party area.

Fenway looks terrible to me, maybe it's just the angle.

It's also nice to see they have Jacobs (Progressive) Field still wrong for the 4th year running. Good job 2K.

It baffles me that the people at 2k don't pay enough attention to detail as the fans of the game do. There is no excuse.

If they paid attention to detail like a lot of fans do, the game wouldn't ship until December. It would be like:

"Oops, Dice K's eyebrows are too dark. I gotta go in and change that."

"The stripes on the Yankees uniform are too close. Let me move them over a few millimeters."

"Aw man!! Who in the hell made his eye-black too thin!!!!!!"Oh well, gotta change it."

Think about it; If MLB 2k8 was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, and MLB 2k9 was the same, people would say "I'm not spending $60 on a freakin' roster update."

I guess my frustration is not necessarily about eyebrows or uniform stripes, more that other games seemed to have more accurate stadiums, heck the best stadiums I have ever seen were in 2K's The Bigs.

My guess is that if EA buys Take 2, they'll start with The Bigs code instead of 2K8's.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Screenshots - The Stadiums

Well what erks me is that honestly there is NO excuse what so ever for certain stadiums to not be fixed for over 3 years. I think if 2k went out each year and worked on a small portion of the stadiums each year by now or next year they would all be fixed. I understand with all the improvements this year Next year i better c this game running at 60fps NO dropping, and completely redone stadiums if not 2k can eat me and i will never buy a 2k baseball game again, cause there will be no excuse NONE!

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Screenshots - The Stadiums

Yea i what i dont understand is that the bigs looks better then MLB2k8 why dont they some of those graphics first the stadiums like the poster obove me said look great.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Screenshots - The Stadiums

At least it looks like they have true capacity crowds this year. I hated in 2K7 when I'd be playing the Mets in the Subway Series and there would be way too many scattered empty seats.
