Eh, better than having nothing I guess. Thanks for all the feedback.

How bout the crowd atmosphere. Do they get loud at the right moments ?

Hmm 7.8. I was hopping for a little higher. What makes it lose points?

Anybody extremely pumped about the release tomorrow? With all the controversy about 2K aside.....

Any true baseball fan should just be pumped about 2K8 coming out tomorrow...

That sounds much easier than in previous years. I was pretty good with it compared to some of the people I played online, but still goofed up every now and then (and it always seemed to cost me a game).

Thanks for your impressions, gotta wait until about 5PM tomorrow to get mine...

Just like NHL 2K8 was! That became one of the best hockey games of all time, IMO. I remember everyone bashing that game and it was a very similar situation like MLB. No marketing whatsoever!

Wow. That just made reading the last 30 pages of this thread a complete waste of time. lol

Awesome! This game may not make it back to Gamefly .

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Finally, it's back in the game after having been gone for a couple years. Good to know.

Game is sold. I can get around any other little glitches or bugs.
