Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

I wish i wouldv'e used my head last night instead of flying off the handle but i did and deserved the crap i took for it. I will say though that Highheat for the PS2 was the best pure baseball game ever made! It didn't look very good but that ai was awsome, you had to know baseball pretty well or you would get beat. Does 2Ksports put manger profiles in there game? I've never heard about them doing it, kindda like Tony LaRussa baseball did on the pc? That would be something to look at in future games, if they don't have it in already.

It's kinda stupid to come into the 2K forums and constantly refer to 2K8 as "Macho Grande" when that is just an inside joke from the Show forums. That's just trolling.

I come in here to get impressions on 2k and what do I see....BS. Is it ever going to stop?????

I saw impressions on the first few pages but then wham bam its back to the same ol song and dance. Bickering.

Anyhow, from the few impressions I saw before the thread went to hell in a handbasket, I must admit, I am intrigued. The new pitching mechanic has my curiousity peaked and I am looking forward to the demo.

And as the case was for the Show(uh oh theres that word) I don't believe the videos and screenshots that we've seen thus far will do 2K justice. I can't wait to read real previews/reviews from the people who tell it the best....the community at OS.

Sorry to disrupt the norm here, the bickering can now resume.

Enough with the Show and "Macho Grande" posts.

Heres really the bottom line. If the lineup, ERA, DL and the other minor glitches that have plagued this title since Kush took over are fixed it'll be worth playing. The new pitching mechanic looks great, I do hope its not the homerun derby 2k7 was and I also hope theres more variety in the hitting this year and more foul balls. But really it comes down to polish and I'd really like to hope that we'll finally get some polish to keep the game from becoming frustrating a few days in.

in my opinion, the only upgrades that 2k8 needed was to tweek the gameplay...it SOUNDS as though they have done this and then some, this is going to be a great game.

Anyone know if the PS3 version will support rumble?

I believe Ben answered that question in the conference call and the answer is no.
