In some of the gameplay videos that folks have posted on vimeo, etc., I'm still concerned about the look of the ball coming in to the plate and it's detectabliity. And also, the issue with the bat sounds. Supposedly they are fixed, but the videos I've seen online all have the sam wet whip across a tree trunk sound. I also think 2K8 looks and feels just like 2K7 when you watch the gameplay videos. And maybe I'm ready for something that feels "new" beyond the gameplay. Maybe some new cameras or new commentary or new graphics on screen, etc.
With that said, I'm not at all detracted from the game. If anything, I'm torn because I think there are going to be two great games that each have their exceptionalities on the bright side and some negatives as well. How do you choose this year???

I've been downloading/watching the higher quality vids... and they take forever to download!
But one thing I've picked up is, not surprisingly, how much detail was lost inthe smaller videos. Under overcast skies, the color of the game seemed very flat in the smaller vids. But in the higher quality links, I was a able to see there's still a very soft, subtle self shadowing going on.

Well this is my first time getting into baseball games. I was a football nut and EA killed it for me I loved 2K football but thats a whole different discussion. Long story short I have switched over to playing baseball games. I dabbled with The Bigs on Wii but nothing else. Me being a 2Kfootball fan, I thought 2K's baseball game would be a good fit. I am only judging from The Show demo and these demo vids of 2K8 and I just think The Show looks better all around. That is just my OPINION.

Fine. I suppose it might be getting old, but so does reading a pointless post, checking to see what other meaninful comments that poster may have come up with in the last...oh, let's say 20, and discovering that there has been nothing constructive, thought provoking, and/or interesting to the discussions that said poster has contributed to.
That being said, I will refrain from pointing out the pointless. Perhaps they would offer the same consideration.

Things I noticed:
1. Why does it look like every pitch floats in?
2. I noticed how it shows updates about how pitchers are warming up and when they are finished etc. Nice touch!
3. When tulowitzki hits his second homer of the game he is looking the wrong way. I thought they had fixed this?
Those are just some of the things I noticed, other than that the game looks phenominal. That was one hell of a lucky play to save themselves from a loss...........

I think I can answer number one even though I don't own the game. I know with last year the pitch speed had to do a lot with how the sliders were set. For some reason, whatever that setting is albeit "pro" or "all-star" that's probably how fast the pitch comes in, but I would imagine that it's probably "pro" cuz it also seemed quite slow to me as well. I have to imagine that "all-star" and "legend" have to de tougher. Last year I used pitch speed at 100% which made it more life-like to me. So I guess it's just a matter of asking DJRuhe what setting he played at.
As for the two home-runs I think you meant Matt Holliday not Tulo, but yeah that was one thing I hated about last year was one a player would jack a homer to right field but they would look as if they hit it to left. So it looks as if this was not fixed for this year either.
There was another thing that Ben Brinkman said was fixed and so far I hear no evidence of it being fixed at all and that's the stadium announcer announcing A LOT of players names incorrectly. Like Kevin Youk-u-lis, as well as others that escape my mind for a minute. But in that long conference call that Brinkman did last weekend see that thatsomeone was suppose to go through and fix all these name errors, but it seems quite obvious from what I've heard that so far nothing has been touched. I thought that it was the funniest part of that conference call cuz one of the questioners said, "Are we gonna hear the stadium announcer say Kevin Youk-u-lis for the third or fourth year in a row?" Then that's whe Ben went on to say that they went through and fixed everything. If someone definitely recognizes that one of the names was fixed please let me know, cuz otherwise I haven't heard anything fixed yet.
I didn't see that on the podcast last Friday from here. I looked that over a couple times now, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me.

I think, as much as the commentary from Joe and Jon seems disappointing, the analysis from Zelasko and Physioc in the seventh inning redeems it. You can tell which team spent more time in the studio (and it's even been proven that they recorded more lines than Miller and Morgan).
I have a feeling this will be the last year Miller and Morgan announce for a 2K Sports game, unless they go back into the studio next year and record a dramatic amount of new commentary. I swear, if I hear "Poppin' The Mitt" one more time...
