2K8 will be better but I think the majority of people who have seen the gameplay of both know that The Show is leaps better then 2K8

The gap seems to be closer than last year when comparing the games

But I won't be able to make a more definitive statement on that until I get more time with MLB The Show and compare head to head

Well i am hoping that this year 2K will close that gap. It was certainly the case last year though. I am getting both games. I know the show will be great. And I am hoping 2k8 will be great as well.

A few things I DON'T like:

1) Two leaping catches at the wall... seems a little too "last-yearish".

2) I don't know what it is about the animation, maybe the way their leg follows through... but outfielders still like like little girls sometimes when they throw it.

3) The crowd is definitely weird sometimes... Where's the emotion? And when it is there, why doesn't it last more than three seconds?

Thats good news. quick question for you, could you see the whole flight of the ball on the aerial cam. I couldn't tell with the viewing area of the vids being so small.

I'm not looking for a reason to "hate" 2K8. I'm looking for a reason to throw down 60.00 on it. I'm a baseball nut so I know eventually I'll have it. When the card collecting has me the most interested that means there's a problem. I'm not a huge fan of timed only hitting so that's my first isssue. Second is yet to be seen, and that is if the pitching and hitting stats will be decent. Will I actually walk people and be able to generate walks while hitting. Hopefully the demo will drop soon so I can get a feel for the game. Until then I'm not sure what to think.

Oh i hear you, and im not saying everone who has a negative thought on the game is looking for a reason to hate it. But the thing that bugs me is when blatent show homers come in here and bash 2ks games.

I went back and read his post. His opinion that the game looks horrible seems over-the-top, but in the end, that's his opinion.

But his Show comment here on a 2K thread was tasteless and uncalled for. So yeah, fire away.
