Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

[PVarck31]

Just finished my second game. I am liking it even more. I really love the fielding. Oh and try the aerial cam. It makes the field look bigger and the ball looks great in flight. The weird thing was that the frame rate was much better in the second game. I have played 18 innings and have not hit a HR. To me this is a good thing.

Jeff Kent hit one against me that hit high up on the foul pole. Looked cool because it was hooking foul

I enjoy the feilding in the Show better, yes I do like the throwing meter, but I still don't like some of the fielding in 2k8, I have to practice with the pitching more, I gave up 4 HR's in the game I was playing. I will give it more time tonight. The on thing that bothers me, is the game just seems really boring a bit.

all 3 in my first game were different. Kelly Johnson barely made it over....Teixera put it off the back wall of the bull-pen and Overbay made it to the first deck (skydome).

one other funny thing I noticed, where they took the fans catching the ball animation out, Rolen made a catch in foul territory to end the inning and tossed it to the fans, who sat there as it rattled around under their seats.

also, they finally solved the "small outfield" problem.....the OF is much larger and doubles are less bang-bang than in 2k7.

And Santana may have gone 15-13, but I'm someone who doesn't believe that a pitcher's W-L is a be all end all. He is certainly better than 15-13 and if there is a 100 pitcher in the MLB, it would be Santana.

Yeah I agree. Maybe it's because I hate the mets, who knows

Regardless there's quite a few questionable ones, but that's what edit players is for I suppose.
