Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

uh and then right when i started getting into it its now locking up on me.

or more specifically in between innings it will just stop there with a player holding the ball not moving after the last out until i have to reset it.

also happened once while loading the stadium.

i havnt been able to get past the first inning for like 6 games in a row.

come on.

-Not enough difference between most pitch speeds. Too easy to make contact almost every time if the pitch is in the strike zone.

-Way too many fly balls.. It seems 5/1 fly to ground ball.

-Although I chose to turn off the sports ticker it still shows it scrolling on the bottom..

-Way too many hr's/runs

-Can't find a option to turn the pitching pointer from fade to off

+ Fielding and throwing is fun

+Pitching interface is alot of fun though too many meat pitches and they are hit too hard

+Swing stick 2. is pretty solid.. wish there was practice swings though


The frame rate isn't as bad as I expected but still bothersome. Turning off all presentations and extra options helped. Oddly playing a friend went smoother than playing the cpu.

After reading a few pages, I see why the demo was not available before release.

The manager at the store said that a guy came back ticked off demanding his money back but they stuck firm by the policy. He said that two other guys called the store asking about the return policy but they didn't show up to return their copies.

Too bad for the guy that returned it, he accepted the $25 credit and the manager put it out on the floor as a used game immediately.

...and how much did you really save versus buying it new? 5-7 dollars?

Depends... If I keep it $5. But since I won't, $55.98. (They have a 7-day full credit return policy on all used games.)

hearing all this about turning this option off and this off, to me, sounds like we gamers got screwed from 2k. When I said b brink lied about the demo being an early feb release some said I was nuts for saying it, but how many times did we hear him say the game will run at 60fps. when you have to turn stuff off to make the game run smoother, makes me feel like i'm on a pc again, knocking the res down, lower shadows etc. either a patch needs to be out soon or 2k should stop making promises they can't keep.

it's so apparent its not funny man...

this is a shame. I had to put up with the ps3 being choppy last year but i still played it because the graphics had some nice redeeming value. WELL not this freakin year. brinco decides to nix that for better framerate but still doesn't have better framerates. URGH?!?! i tell ya this is upsetting as a consumer that was led to beilve one thing. I totaly don't trust his word anymore.

i want Ea to buy out 2k now simple. Roll on GTA4 and thats it.
