Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

[bluengold34_OS]

One other quick impression, the crowd for me during the Red Sox/ Cubs game seemed really into it, but there was a lot of action going on also. At Wrigley, they started chanting " Throw it back"after a Big Papi HR, and I heard the police sirens outside the stadium nice and crisp as if I was at the ball park.

The only downer was when Big Papi, he hit a towering shot that landed in Milwaukee, but he was looking down the right field line, and the shot was hit in the Left Center Gap

Can someone answer this regarding fielding:

I understand the circle (ball icon dissapears) when you turn away from the ball. With that being said, are you able to make over-the shoulder catches? When running back and at an angle, does the fielder look over his shoulder to locate the ball? Or how does this work in the game? Are you able to run back and at an angle and still locate the ball?

Does it only dissapear when running straight back?

ok that worked thank you everybody

Haven't seen this question, but may have easily missed it:

Does the CPU still throw a heater down the pipe 99% of the time on a 3-0 count?

Trev -- Yes. I caught an over the shouler with Reed Johnson (with the circle dissapearing)

also, it's nice that not all meatballs get hit, and not all bad pitches get hit...and some perfect pitches do get hit. just like real life.

Its official IGN gave it a 7.4. Looks like I am not buying this game.

I was very hesitant to buy this game considering all of the negative stuff I'd heard about it, but I went and got it anyways since I don't own a PS3 and it's my only choice.

I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. I loved 2k7, played it until the end-of-season glitch ruined my franchise and gave up. As long as that glitch is gone I'll be getting in a lot of hours with this puppy.

Best pitching ever in a video game. In a lot of baseball games I feel like half the inning is just a waste, going through motions so I can bat. Not anymore.
