- The menu interface could be better. I don't like the font they used throughout the menus - it's too small at times.

- There is a Jan. 20 roster update when I checked online. Could change tomorrow though.

- I don't know why Aaron Hill is rated only a 72?!! WTF!!!

- A lot of the generic photos of players look bad.

- The in-game presentation is worse than last year. I hate the new camera angle used to show the upcoming batter. Gone are the close-up face zooms of the upcoming batter.

- Graphics actually look a bit worse than last year. The animations though have improved greatly especially the fielding.

- I don't like the slight stutter (load) after each batter - you'll see what I mean when you play the game.

- It seems like most of the commentary from Jon & Joe in 2K7 was reused here.

- Pitching will take sometime to get used to. You'll throw a lot of meatballs when starting.

- Franchise Mode doesn't feel that much different aside from having Minor League teams. It's basically the same thing with a new interface.

- Overall, the game isn't much of a great leap from 2K7. A little disappointed honestly, I guess I was expecting great things. Anyways, The Show is awesome though!!!
Gee.....good to see your enjoying the game :|

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

sorry if it's been mentioned, but how has the ease at hitting homeruns been address?

no matter how i changed the sliders for 2K7, homeruns were ridiculously easy. have they changed or addressed that any?

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

How is the crowd? From the Beta it seemed that they were a little flat.
Do they react appropriately? Do you get the sense you're sitting at the ballpark?

Thanks!

Nothing against the guy, but when someone finishes up their review by praising the other game... it kinda loses merit.

Thats a good point. Also try to remember that Steve said he thinks 2k8 will surprise people this year. He also gave very favorable impressions of the game.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Impressions

The guy that wrote those impressions that I commented on also posted them on the 2K Boards where everyone hates him for his continual bashing on 2K and praising of the show. So.......I would take what he says with a grain of salt.
