Disagree on the player models. Graphics are in the eye of the beholder imo, but to me 2k8 players look sort of cartoony. Especially when compared to last year.

I have no problems with the fielding in The Show, but I prefer the fielding in 2k8. I think fielding is the one portion of the game where 2k8 outshines The Show.

Gotcha. No worries.

Completely agree and about the player models in The Show with there short wide shouldered bodies for every player certainly isn't helping but again I enjoy both games I just prefer 2K8 because of gameplay.

2K seems to have achieved their primary goal: to keep EA from making baseball games. Bravo, 2K. We lost what is to some the best game(MVP) and in its place is the bumblin', stumblin' MLB2K series.

Every time I pop in MLB2K, I long for the days of MVP and All-Star. It's like dating three girls and you end up with the one you really didn't want in the first place.

Some choppiness? I had worse choppiness than what MVP 05 on the PC had before the patch. I'm not even a graphic's guy (I still play old school games all the time), but comeon it is just annoying to see.

Yes it's annoying, but you can't tell me it's worst than 2k7, because it's not

Just not happening to me on my end.

I see choppiness after the play. I see minor stuttering during a play. Never had a problem fielding the ball.

It's still pretty choppy for me on the field of play. Which I could probably live with more, if it was more constant. It's really all over the place as far as framerate in my experience. It could just be me.
