Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

Can you tell us anything about catcher's throws. Is your catcher able to make a "snap" throw down to first base after a pitch in order to pick off a runner?

Since the demo isn't coming out. Tell us should we really be excited about this game. It seems 2K is hiding something since the demo hasn't been released. Your thoughts?

Hey Steve,

on double plays can you take out he fielder? and also can you run over the catcher on close plays to home plate?

Thanks.

biggets question for me is does it have realistic wind effects? Being a Cubs fan I know when the wind is blowing in at Wrigley it is very hard to hit a home run. Some sure fire home runs are turned into pop ups. By the reverse effect, if the wind is blowing out a route pop up is carried out for a home run. I'm wondering if they've found a way to do this in the game. Please let me know what you've seen. I know its just a beta verison so it may not have that in the game, but I figured I"d ask.

Thanks in advance......

Thanks for the response. Thats a bummer about no practice swings. I wonder why they keep leaving that out. It is nice having more control and things to do to make it feel like I am actually doing something..

does the framerate affects the gameplay or is it nothing to really be concerned about?
