So the thread has degraded to thrashing The Show instead of posting impressions on 2k8.

Incredible.

Don't give me the "legit question." It's pretty obvious what's going on here.

Yep, why i like 2k sports, is they try to be innovative even if it falls flat. They try to make you have the next gen experience. Not many other companies do that. They stick with the same formula for years and years and even more years. Thats what i did NOT like about the Show. There's nothing to take it to that next level. Its already been there and done that.

actually a realistic issue is a game not running at 60fps as advertised. They didn't release a demo because they knew it would hurt sales.

Hopefully once I stop sucking, it will be get a little better to me.

I can tell already that games are going to be much more intense than The Show deep into the season because you are constantly involved. The gameplay is very immersive.

I just wish that every time I turned on the game, I wouldn't be praying that I get a good framerate.

So how's the bat sounds. Do they sound like they're changed

Right, that's why a post in The Show forum too and have said numerous times it's a great game and owned it in the past.

And how in the world is that "degrading" The Show? By pointing out a fact? Has the pitching system changed at all in The Show? Yes or no?

I have never seen a group of people so defensive about a game. It's honestly worse than anything I've ever seen in Madden. You'd think you were insulting about someone's child. The Show is the best game ever and 2K8 is a laughable piece of trash.

so because something is unchanged, people can't like it ? Newer is always the best ?
