Not alot of people are thinking about this game quite yet but I myself have been thinking about it since August. Here is what I have dug up so far...

Quote:
 
The last complaints about MLB 2K7 revolved around the franchise mode. In particular, the lack of minor league teams made the franchise play feel somewhat shallow. Brinkman was quick to answer this, stating that there would be ninety minor league teams that would be playable in MLB 2K8. Additional comments relied around the lack of trade system logic, even though the trade finder made certain contracts easy to find and fill, and a weak economic system that was based solely on ticket sales. The level of depth of handling the front office felt particularly flimsy. Brinkman deflected some of that criticism with a personal observation about all-encompassing franchise features. He stated that he has never been a fan of owner modes in sports titles, mentioning that entire games can be built around the minutiae of managing an organization without actually playing the sport. He did elaborate on the new direction for next year's franchise mode, however.

"I think for MLB 2K8 our focus is going to go back to the General Manager and running the organization. With the introduction of the minor leagues, there's going to be a lot more gameplay, and we're coming up with cool ways of making it worthwhile to play these games as well, so they're not just there in the background for you to just call guys up and send them down. We want to encourage you to play the games." However, he did put a large emphasis on making sure that most of the concerns raised about the franchise mode would be addressed in 2K8.

Thats awesome news, the introduction of playable minor leauge teams will definitly make this franchise mode alot better.

God, hopefully this game will be playable. I think they need to make it more like MVP 05, because that was probably the funnest sport game I've ever played.

They really need to address the hitting, it has always been to homerun friendly which really takes me out of the game fast when I'm down 7-0 in the 3rd inning. Hopefully, next years will be better.

I love having total managing control of my teams. Being able to play the minors will be huge as well. I can now basically scout my own players and even scout possible minors to trade for by playing against big name minor leageurs and seeing how they do.

I still think they have a lot of basic things to work on before they start adding new things.

Reyes will be on the front cover for the Wii version, I am still not sure about the other systems but since I am selling my 360 and will just be a Wii owner this is the only one I care about :sarcasm:

EDIT: He will be on all other covers...

Well I listened to BDM and Evil when they told me that it was only my fault when the red ring happend to me because I was aware of it and still bought the system.

Well I got over it and sent it in and was over it....

Well I got my 360 back under the impression that it would not happen again. Well after 6 days the red ring happend again... I dont care what you guys say but that my friends is a fucking joke. I will sell this piece of crap and never, I mean never buy another microsoft console again.

I will instead stick true to the company that I started my gaming career with and has never fucked me over, Nintendo. I will learn from this mistake when picking which console to buy.
