    Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Patch Update

    Three years of buggy games on the 360 drove me to sell my system, buy a PS3, and purchase MLB 08: The Show. I have played sports games all the way back to Madden on the Sega Genesis, and this developing practice of treating console games like PC titles (1. Release incomplete, poorly-tested game, 2. Gather customer complaints, 3. Release patch, 4. Rinse and repeat next year) has gotten very tiresome.

    MLB 2K8 has driven me off of 2K sports games completely; I have wasted too much time and money with their titles. Color me a Sony and EA sportsgamer going forward.

      I am considering doing the samething. I would not call it a sorry excuse for a baseball game. I'd rather call it an extreme let down on all the hype that was talked into the PS3 version (Pixelation/bad shadows/poor helmet reflections/horrendous fields/heads that turn white/bats that blink white). I would call it poor programming and not hardware issues like 2k is blaming it on. At the same respect, 360 users will have a good baseball game to play and not be completely robbed of their spring fever to play some baseball Everyone needs a little baseball!!!

      Wishing I could take the first 12 seconds and last 10 seconds out of this video. Just listen to the overall message of the video and NOT the game. It hits it right on the head. This is the best sport boys.

        I'm not sure I believe that however....the pitcher/batter interface doesn't lag, it's the fielding. I'm going to be REALLY disappointed if the online doesn't clear up.
        I don't believe that either for the exact reasons you posted. I hope it is fixed though because I love using the new controls and would hate to eschew that just to be able to play an online game.

          Many good issues stated throughout this thread that should be addressed by 2K, but the main bug I would like to see fixed is the complete and utter lack of pitcher injuries when simming games in Franchise mode. I have simmed through multiple seasons and NOT ONCE have I seen a pitcher at any level of my club go down with any sort of injury. This is a huge issue and kills realism for me.

          This is the main issue I would like to see addressed. Thanks.

            I was about to post that....they also need to fix the lack of k' there is when simming and the rained out games, everytime a game get canceled is like you pressed the restart gbutton instead of a rescheaduled game

                It won't be fast enough to play games obviously,but you would still get the benefits of d-loading patches.

                Thanks for the links but I don't have a router and really don't want to buy one just for this. Especially when the download times will be pathetically slow for the patches.

                If there is no other way to get the patches/downloads...I guess I'll have to wait until my apartment gets rebuilt (burned down in a fire). Should be about 6-8 months.

                  I hate to say it, but in May I'm gettin' my PS3 and The Show. Trading in 2k8. I tried really hard to enjoy it. There's just too much freezing, frame rate issues, and the interface is horribly user unfriendly.

                      Why do people keep saying there will be no patch for the ps3.

                        i think most people are saying that because other articles, and this one in particular, arent specifying that the PS3 versions patch will fix the framerate.. i honestly dont see how or why they would do that. i think its just a quote taken out of context and i'm sure they will fix the problem on both systems.. now the wii and ps2, thats another story.....

                          Will this patch fix the problem with trying to do a Franchise with the Padres?

                              I think a patch is out, or at least I had to update my game this morning. Maybe its just random thing, but let me know if anyone else had to update.

                                is it playing any differently?
