Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

[Steve_OS]

We have just posted some impressions from our beta copy of Major League Baseball 2K8.

"Yes, these quick blurb impressions are all over the place, as I just typed some things down over the days I played the game.

I'm not working w/ retail here, just beta. I'm not sure how "complete" it is. But there are times where the game doesn't run 60FPS. During pitching/hitting, no problems, but there are occasional hiccups when throwing across the diamond. A few herky jerky animations here and there as well. Again, these may just be issues w/ my Beta."

I'll try to answer a few questions before going to bed, but will be replying from the home page. If you don't have a mini-avatar, I won't bother responding.

I really like the fact that players react on the bench to hits. Cool feature!

My question is regarding the pitching and walks etc. I am hoping it will be a struggle to throw strikes with pitchers w/poor control. Any comments?

Thanks,

Chad

Does the computer AI toss walks if you are patient?

With regards to bat sounds, are you able to differentiate from solid contact and weak contact? The sound is important because it sets up your depth perception on where you think you have to focus on the field just after the ball is hit.

Hey Steve, thanks for the impressions. So as an overall experience how much better is it than 2k7, and how different does it feel?

Steve, one question....in either a franchise or season...do you have the ability to play any game you want on the schedule, not matter what team you are or choose? In other words, could we play every single game of every single team, and control their rosters as well.

Seems to be a questions danced around...much appreciated in advance.
