The criticisms of this game are absurd and I have no idea if they're from The Show fanboys or people who turned the game off after 10 minutes. As long as their are no major franchise glitches this is definitely going to be one of the best baseball games ever.

Have you played the Show? Just curious.

I can't make up my mind to buy this game or not. I have never played 2K7, and my only other option for a baseball game is MVP 05 on the CPU.

Should I get this game or not?

Your impressions excite me. I may just bite the bullet and buy a 360. Hiding it from my wife will be the hard part.

I have it........and The Show as well.

This game pales in comparison.....if you have a 360, you have no choice, make lemonade out of lemons.

If you have a PS3, run do not walk away from this turd and get The Show 08.

I haven't played 08, I owned 06 on the PS2 and played 07 about twenty times on my boy's PS3.

The fastball pitch gesture is just impossible for me to do right! I can do curves and sliders no problem yet I can't do the simple fastball.

What am I doing wrong? I always get 50-58% on the gesture. Slowing it down slightly got me near 70 once, but I still can't get much better than that.

I can't pitch inside because I'm always hitting people. I've already gotten two pitches tossed.

Loving the game, btw.

I prefer the fielding, player models and pitching in 2K8. I also like the fact that I can save an exhibition game, unlike the Show.
