I think they were trying to take things out to make the game run smoother. It obviously didnt work very well though.

Good review, this game is a disappointment, with some small nice touches,

Well I havent bought the game yet and this review along with many others take ,has put me on hold until I can buy on sale if I can hold out.NHL 08 and NBA2k8 still take up alot of my time anyway...

I only hope 2k and Brinkman see THIS review as I believe it is the "definitive" review of the game from the most accurate sports gaming site out.

It's a vicious cycle people. Time is 2K's enemy. Ok lets look at it. They obviously didn't have the time to do what they wanted to get 2K8 out the door like they wanted to. So they had to compromise. Right when it hit the shelves they probably went to work on 2k9. BUT HOLD THE PHONE. We got a framerate issues going on here. So now they have to have some people stop what they're doing on 2K9 and address this issues. So what does that mean? Time that was supposed to be spent working on 2K9 now has been diverted to fixing some of 2K8 so 2K9 is already behind the eight ball timewise and the game still has a year before release. They need to just take a break one year and fix the game up properly. But that isn't going to happen and if I were running I wouldn't do it either. It's financial suicide. Besides the fact they're paying for the license.

Thanks for help saving me $60. It used to be I'd buy a highly anticipated game on release day. Not anymore. I've learned from my mistake -- NCAA Football 08 -- and I'm glad I showed patience with this apparent disaster of a game. I don't care if it has some good points and plays a decent game of baseball after you get the hang of it, for $60 it damn well better be orgasmic for me to reach into my wallet.

The game "crashes"? You mean you'll be playing then, bingo, crashes like a computer game would?
