Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

does the framerate affects the gameplay or is it nothing to really be concerned about?

[Ltrain44]

has the catcher cam been worked on at all? or is still the same from last year?

[Barky]

Is it easier to judge pitch types/speeds this year? Thanks**

Hey Steve,

on double plays can you take out he fielder? and also can you run over the catcher on close plays to home plate?

Thanks.

Yes, and Yes.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

could you bat using the behind the pitcher camera?

[blkprince04]

does the drop in framerate affect the gameplay, or is it just when you throw the ball around in the infield?

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

Can we select the CPU's Uniforms in franchise mode? Also someone asked earlier but i didn't see an answer. When you change a players name will the announcers say his name or the default name he had to begin with? I hated this last year. Thank you in advance.

I believe Kush said a long time ago that you could do that.

[blkprince04]

is the game enjoyable, fun, challenging?

[blkprince04]

do the players look stiff like last year players?

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

Steve, can you confirm if the Base Burner mode is still in the game? I didn't see any controls listed for it in the screenshots you posted. Thanks.

Not seeing it... I could be overlooking it though.

Steve can you answer my question. What would you rate this game since the show got and 8.7 at IGN? How about the presentation can you gives us alittle more on that?

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

Steve,

I would REALLY appreciate it if you can answer this...

Please play a game at the Jake and let me know just 3 things....

1.) If you do go deep- do you in fact hear a siren? Ben did not know this.

2.) How does John sound in the stands with the famous drum?

3.) How many " real " players are on the Buffalo AAA team?

Steve~ thank you so much for taking the time to answer us on these questions! This is truly the best forum there is on the net!

1. Never heard a siren, as I grooved a few fastballs for Fielder.

2. Not much of a Brewer fan, so I actually have no idea

3. AAA team names, I don't know. Here are a few names.
CF Crain
SS Rivas
LF Francisco
3B Dudley
DH Choo
2B Astacio
1B Murphy
RF Schroder
C Heiner

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

Steve,

Forgive me if this is too general a question, but here it goes... does it play an overall solid, realistic, and fun brand of baseball? In otherwords... can you see someone enjoying a full 162 game season without throwing their hands up in frustration with game 'issues' 40 games in?

It's too early to tell, but I can tell you that it feels much better than 2K7 ever did.

Do the retractable roofs work like Minute Maid Park?

It must be always open, because you can't select rain in the weather options w/ that park.
