Think what you want, but it hardly makes sense. They know we're going to nitpick it to death. Its not like the game was going to sell 3 million copies on the first day and then they'd pull the wool over our eyes and yell out "gotcha".

That's absolutely a crock of ****. Reading this guy saying over and over "MS has the demo it's in their hands now."

Give me a freakin' break. Anyone with half a brain know what went on here.

I honestly feel bad for the guys convincing themselves the game is somewhat enjoyable just so they don't feel like they just wasted $60. Obviously guys are genuinely liking the game... but I'm sure there are a few making lemonade out of those lemons.

Terrible, just terrible.

flaxseed, do you have the final version of mlb 2k8 (360)?

Yes, I do. I downloaded the demo just for the pitching tutorial.


The framerate on the Retail version of the game is much choppier than the demo.

That's disappointing to hear because it doesn't give those of us on the fence a true view of the game. I guess if the gameplay is so good, I can ignore the framerate issues.

It's probably better the demo didn't come out first or else people would have been REALLY upset if the demo was "chop-free" and the retail version was not.

I respect your opinion, but I don't feel like I have to "convince" myself to like this game. I bought it and told myself if I didn't like it, I was trading it in for the Show. I really didn't expect much from it at all after reading impressions here, but I have found this game to be outstanding. Sure, it's all a matter of opinion, but I really haven't found myself trying to "convince" myself of anything.
