Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
What the hell is the matter with everyone that we're all so concerned about "bias" in video game reporting, etc?
Look, 2K8 sucks badly. It's got nothing to do with Madden or anything else. It's quite simple.
To everyone who is saying: "BUT TEH GAMEPLAY IS AWESOME" - please cut the ****. I don't care what new -- and pointless -- "features" they add when the game runs so poorly you can't actually use any of them.
Oops forgot to punctuate with "hell" and "gotdamn" many times for effectHBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

Good grief new duder guy, what kind of trip are you are on here? That's not the way to gain friends and influence others - telling them their opinion of something sucks. They call it an 'opinion' for a reason.Comment

Perhaps so. I'm just having a bit of fun.Comment

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
Agreed. Every comment I read like his convinces me more and more that The Show players are secretly jealous of the new pitching/hitting mechanics. It's just as reasonable an explanation as, "2K guys are just forcing themselves to like it to justify their purchase!!!"Of course, if Dawson gets hot, and
Sutcliffe comes through, and....
Pa, see what you did to me?

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
Look, I agree the game has some serious issues. But if some people are enjoying it, and if they think the gameplay is 'awesome' that's their opinion. I certainly thought some aspects of the gameplay were a refreshing change from that other game and at the very least, fun.Comment

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, but I want to be clear that I'm not comparing 2K8 to the Show. I have never played the Show, don't have a PS3 and am not getting one, so whatever merits that game has are entirely irrelevant to me. I'm playing 2K8 on its own terms, and it really fails to pass muster -- even compared to 2K7, in fact.Comment

Why even bring The Show in to it. How many posts here have said something similiar to "Well what about the Show's Negatives", "It's a Pro-Show conspiracy, against 2k8". Which if you have any clue as to the history of OS is beyond ridiculousness.
The complaints about this game are for the most part pretty valid. And I wonder how many people who keep talking about the Show not being that great truthfully own it?Comment

if this was a thread it wouldve been locked already. os should be ashamed of this dude.
2k7 was crap to me. 2k8 is the most fun i've had with a baseball game in eons.
The framerate is inexcusable and the graphics are a let down but other than that this game is awesome."I'm addicted to Video Games, and i chase it with a little OS." -Winston ChurchillComment

Agreed. There are some very fun things about this game. I love the cards, I love using the right sticks. The commentary, visuals, framerates, and issues with franchise mode that have been there forever are where my problems are.Comment

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
First of all I own both MLB 2K8 for the 360 and MLB 08 The Show for the PS3. I enjoy both games but I have to admit after playing 2K8, The Show feels stale in comparison. Someone asked why bring up The Show in this thread well the reason is in the Can I have my money back? story The Show is talked about in direct comparison to 2K8 at the very beginning with this statement "Unfortunately being an XBOX 360 owner leaves me few options when it comes to choosing a baseball game. In fact it leaves me with just one option: MLB 2K8." I am so sick of comments like this, if The Show is so special do whatever you have to do and buy a PS3 and the game. Problem solved, right?Comment

The writer was correct, for 360 only gamers, with a budget it is the only game in town. I feel bad for them no matter how great 2k8 is, as having your choices limited is never a good thing.
In all honesty you feel 2k8 is as polished as The Show?Comment

Problem solved if people feel the investment of a PS3 is worth the price of playing a single game.

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
No I do not feel it is nearly as polished, but in my opinion The Show is downright boring and dull. It plays a good game of baseball if set up correctly, but it is to slow moving and I struggle to get in nine innings without dying of boredom. With 2K8 I can play 7-8 games in a row no problem. Basically I think it comes down to classic face button gameplay to exciting and new analog stick gameplay. Gameplay is what it's supposed to be about right? If that's the case 2K8 hands down.Comment

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
I wish the frame rate was good in 2k8 because I love playing baseball online. However, the frame rate was absolutely terrible. So, I gave up on it and sold on Ebay to get most of my money back. I like the Show a whole hell of a lot, but the online gaming is just atrocious. If the show was on the 360 I think I would be in heaven.NCAA Vets League: Arkansas Razorbacks (9-2, 6-1)
