2K Sports Announces Free Demo of Major League Baseball 2K8 now on Xbox LIVE Marketplace

[Blzer]

Played the demo this morning. I must say, this is certainly a step up from 2K7. Visual detail is lacking and color palette is off, and aside from the lack of options for the demo's sake, I had fun. Framerate for pitcher/batter is very good, and while there is choppiness in the field, I don't think I can call that a framerate issue. That said, hopefully a patch can fix this.

Pitching is very fun and very rewarding. Fielding was fun, but throwing is still too hard. I have a feeling that batting is better, but I never missed a pitch while swinging and only hit one foul ball. That said, I hope sliders work very well, because I just wasn't getting the pitch counts I had hoped for (pitcher wouldn't throw anything but strikes, either).

All this said, the game has a somewhat incomplete feel, especially in presentation and the on-field stutter. But this definitely feels like a step up. I thought I would be much more disappointed than I actually was. I'm highly anticipating 2K9.

There is downloadable content only for the 360 b/c those things didn't fit on the 360 disc. They are already in the PS3 version.

If 2k submitted it to Sony, its up to Sony. Same with them submitting to MS. After that its out of their hand.

Like someone else said. its already on the ps3 disc.

I know no one has the inside scoop, but is it save to assume if they MLB 2k8 demo didnt come out today on PS3 that we wouldnt see it until next Thurs? Do they ever update it on a non-Thurs?

[callmetaternuts]

I'm 99% sure Sony only updates the store on Thursday.
