Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

[Heelfan71]

just messed around with the game a bit.

Graphics are okay. not bad but nothing that makes you say WOW. Really like the new throwing meter / controls. Game plays better than last years so if you liked last years you should not have any worries. I haven't messed with sliders or anything as I am just getting a feel for the game. There are definitely some frame rate issues at times but I don't think it affects the game play. Not sure if this will take my time away from the other game. I am going back and forth right now playing the same teams and kind of comparing the two.

Sounds like MVP 2005 still is the best baseball game out there. How sad to say this in 2008 with next gen systems out there.

Hey,

I don't have MLB 2k8 (yet), but I did pick up MLB 08 The Show last week, was so excited to play it, then it would get to the "Press Start" screen, then when I hit start it would freeze right there.

I thought after all this wait, I had gotten a defective copy! And I had driven a long way, bought it at some ghetto mom and pop location with no receipt.

Anways, I went to the PS3 main menu and set internet connection to "disabled" and the game started fine. Some people on The Show boards chimed in and said they had the same problem and it is related to what router you are using.

Maybe it could be the same with yours just on a different game? If you want to read the thread I started on The Show board the thread title was "Defective! I may be SOL".

Hope that helps.

Can you guys that don't have the game keep your opinions of why it was a good idea to hold off buying the game to yourself. It's hard to distinguish the impressions from the reaction to the impressions.

I think 08 the show holds that title now

Well it'd be a game issue.

What your doing by forcing it to output in 720p is making your TV convert it to 1080i. Some TVs do it better than others..
