 Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions
 
 Maybe try a different camera angle to see if that helps the look of the players.I have it now.
 
 Total control throwing is going to take a while to get used to I think. Pitching, I'm getting rocked -- with Halladay.
 
 For whatever reason with fielding, the players feel too small for the field, but it's not a bad thing with how it is. I haven't played 2K7 in months, so it could just be myself being used to other games.
 
 Still going through my first game though.
 
 Any stuttering?Comment

 Can we leave the questions about eye black, socks, and facial hair out of this conversation? Love to hear about game play, atmosphere, and game play!Comment

 Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions
 
 The following comes from a guy who has confirmed he has it on the gamespot forums
 
 "The Resolution isn't as high as it was last year  
 atleast when it comes to the grass textures,
 
 the new controls are totally different, I 've already given up 2 long balls against
 the Yanks pitching with Burnett on the ALL STAR difficulty, but the homers were caused
 by my early inability to adapt to the new pitching controls."Comment

 Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions
 
 - XBox 360
 - Frame rates seem to be around 25 fps a lot of the time, I'm going to try playing down at 720p
 - Still stutters on the intros to the stadiums
 - Batting intros are great -- saw an option for customization of them!
 - Something that I don't remember from 2K7, is signals are given from the catcher (ie. 1 - fastball, etc.)
 - Shirts can be unbuttoned, rather than always 'picture perfect'
 - Players throw the ball around after the play, like real life (Around The Horn -- has an option to be turned off)
 - Random camera flashes in the stands can be annoying!
 - Moving left, then right while fielding can sometimes give Madden-like movements, where physics doesn't look to be a part of how they move
 - Fielding ratings actually matter this year!
 - Pitching is hard, even on default settings. You mess up, and say good bye. I'm sure sliders will help out, as will experience with the pitching ways.
 - Stances seem fine. Those that I know, seemed right. I'm sure people will still have some issues with some, and will have them adjusted accordingly.
 - Graphics seem similar to last year. Nothing that has really had me say 'wow' yet.
 - Stadium sounds seem good enough, even though they'll be repetitive within a month.
 - Skydome looks exactly the same as last year as far as I can tell.
 
 I've still only played a bit of this game so far, but I'll answer anything and everything that I can.Madden gamer since 93, Madden Online Record: 252-31, #360 overall

 Interesting, keep them coming.I have it now.

 Kiz, you are the man of the hour. The spotlight is on you.

 Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions
 
 I think the fielding / pitching is going to take a few games before you really get it down. Until then, it's a learning curve that might make the opinion biased.
 
 I like the idea of the throwing, and how it is ... once you get used to it, I think it'll really be a great addition.
 
 I remember jumping into the game last year, and having success right away. This year, well, nothing near success! Lol.Madden gamer since 93, Madden Online Record: 252-31, #360 overall

 Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions
 
 This is a Big problem and i was worried about this, if this game runs that bad i will not be getting the game the low FPS in last years ruined it for me, if theres the ocassional hicup i wont mind but not running that low. Wasnt it in a interview that he said it would not dip below 50fps i mean 25fps is HUGE DROP. is it really that bad Kiz?Comment

 If you have time can you check out the online features such as can you change your batting camera and maybe other options when you hit pause in a game? Also, have the online lobbies and navigation to get where you want improved?
 
 Thanks!PSN: ToxicitiComment
