Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions
Have you tried moving the pitch speed all the way to 0? The pitcher goes into his regular wind up only to release a ridiculously slow pitch that floats about 2 miles an hour, just like a Bugs Bunny cartoon....

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions
Hmmmm, still seeing questionable CPU homers. 0-0 count and I throw a down and away (barely in the strike zone at all) fastball and Huff just TORCHES it. I'm talking just SMACKS it for a homer. Uh........is this normal behavior? SWEET, Hernandez just did the same thing to me only this pitch was even farther off the plate. What the hell is the deal? Sweet back to back homers!Last edited by bowlerguy92; 03-06-2008, 06:23 PM.Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions
The effort as as high as I can go without failing the pitch altogether and the release was spot on. Why when i'm pitching with Matsuzaka and someone is on base, my second gesture is completely ignored and it just blows by the release point and I fail the pitch every time? When no one is on base it recognizes the second gesture just fine. This is what's screwing me up and I don't know what to do about it.Last edited by bowlerguy92; 03-06-2008, 06:30 PM.Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions
I am really starting to dig this game. If i can find a way to get the pitching down. I need to find a way that i can tell that the CPU is throwing a ball. It really seems hard to see a ball coming.
I have seen some pitches come that i 100% lay off only to see them clip the zone and get called for a strike.
Is this a slider thing or a camera issue? Thoughts?Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions
What a mess. So many things wrong. Presentation is horrible. Jeannie cuts off Steve before his analysis is done. It's like she is trying to quickly get to the game, kind of like 2k did with this whole thing. Quickly get it out the door before it's done. I'm trying to find some love for this, but it's hard.Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions
This game is ridiculously hard on All Star for me. I hit most my pitches and the computer absolutely crushes everything. I can't hit at all.. even on pro I don't score runs.
The computer infielders get to everything. I practically never see a ground ball get through the infield. Also I hit alot of deep fly balls that I except to be extra base hits only for the computer to run everything down..
On 5 games on All Star my era is 7.86.. Yet its too way too easy on Pro. I think I have scored 6 runs in those 5 games.Mariners Seahawks Sonics UW Sounders

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions
Check the sliders forum. I feel your pain, when letting a pitch go that looks like its a ball then all of a sudden hit the corner line makes me go Agggghhh.... I've heard that setting the AI strikes thrown to 0 makes the CPU throw a realistic amount of balls."In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened." - Vin Scully

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions
Probably a combination of both. I'm having the same problem. Seemed to help some in reading pitches when I lowered the pitch speed for human.
Just play around with the different batting camera and zoom levels and see if that helps. I'll be doing that myself :wink:XBL Gamertag: hoos4974

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions
The CPU is bad *** on this game. No need to mess with the sliders. You have to bring your A game to beat them. I see no AI issues. They take the extra base. They make the great plays. They know when they need a sac fly. Or when they need to bunt the runner over. They spray the ball all over the field. They pitch very smartly. The game is a challenge. What more can you ask for in a sports game.Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions
I absolutely CANNOT win on All-Star. I had a 5 run lead in the 9th and I blew it, used 3 pitchers still blew it. I have played 10 games on All-Star and every one of them has been blown wide open in the last 4 innings of the game. It's simply insane and I am not having it. Guess it's back to pro or putting it back on the shelf until sliders come out that make it playable for me on All-Star.Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions
Can anybody tell me about the base coaches this year? It bugged me last year how they would have high numbers and their number would change every game? Is it different this year?Comment
