Operation Sports to Demo Major League Baseball 2K8 Tomorrow

[Trevytrev11]

1) As someone else mentioned-have the check swings been fixed? Can you pretty much "attempt" a check swing when ever you want?

2) When hitting, is there a difference from facing a top pitcher than a mediocre pitcher? And can you descrive this difference as best you can?

3) Is it easier to determine pitch/type location this year when hitting?

4) Can you verify that they ditched the pitcher making a running barehanded grab and then making a perfect jump throw to first animation.

5) Does presentation feel stale and repetitive?

6) How are the in-game sounds (ball hitting glove on catches, players running, contact sounds, etc.)?

7) How difficult is it playing outfield with the new system in which you don't see the balls icon when your player is not looking at the ball? Does it feel right? Too difficult?

what about a 'pitch history' GFX...in-game, not a cut-scene

[DaoudS]

please for me check the a variety of swing animations when contact is made. Last year there were only a couple and it was as if the hitters did not followthrough and it looked awkward.

I do know that Kush was asked the other day (I just cant find exactly where the post is) about Day/Night progression and he said YES it is in and better, with it acttually getting darker earlier. The out of town scorebords will not work this year, and the crowds do not catch or reach for foul balls according to him.

Figured out how to find them.

Re: Crowd doesnt go after homeruns anymore?

Fans reacting to balls in the stands went the way of framerate. There wasn't enough memory to go around to keep it in. Believe me, I fought hard for it. In the end, it had to go.

Re: Ben Brinkman is about to answer some real questions

Yup, its still in and tweaked so that it is darker earlier. Last year, it wouldn't get dark until around 9 pm. This year, its starting to get dark right at the beginning of a night game.

Re: Crowd doesnt go after homeruns anymore?

The fans are much more into it. Especially in close/late games. There's also new code in there to make them react progressively throughout a play. I don't think its been tuned as well as it could...

[MizzouRah]

Are there many stat overlays during the game?

[rpm123]

Which minor league stadiums are included in the game?

I want to know this as well. Good question!

[Spectre]

I just want to know if the framerate stays fairly consistent

Have fun tomorrow bro
