Major League Baseball 2K8 360 Impressions

The sim stats look pretty good EXCEPT pitcher strikeouts. Johan went 19-7 with a 2.36 era and struck out only 126 batters. The top pitcher in strikeouts was 148. Palvano had the best K/9 ratio in 7.6 (was a fantasy draft).

Overall the game to me is pretty good, and hopefully they (2k) patch the known issues. Seems like a solid game of baseball out the box. But maybe someone can answer this question. Did they remove the option this yr where you dont have the ball marker when pitching, and only have the controller vibrate?

what swing stick is better the old one or the new one? and if the new please some tips I really like this game but everything I hit is going to fielders.Anything will be appreciated

I've heard comments that once the swing stick timing is down, people are really mashing the ball. Is anyone playing with classic, one button swings?

And if so.. how are the results so far?

Can anyone comment about the demo and is it the same as the retail? Anybody play both?

Thanks.

Is anyone else having trouble turning double plays using Analog Throwing. I just can't get that throw to 2nd..

Does anyone know if we can use custom rosters online?

I went back to the classic. I am getting a realistic amount of hits, runs, and homers. Pretty much the swing stick 2.0 but simpler to use.
