I just played a really fun 5-2 game(loss) between the Tigers and the A's.

Here are some details I noticed, both negative and positive:

HR:
- Jacque Jones jumped up, without me doing anything, and made a crazy leap to rob a HR.

- The AI doesn't throw enough balls, but it can be fixed with some sliders.

- After Jones made an catch in foul territory, he made the motion to throw back towards the infield, but the ball went into the stands..WTF


Positives:

- Great hit distribution, and there aren't that many HRs, unlike last year.

- Pitching is really fun once you get the hang of it.

- The new fielding system is great.

That is the definition of dumb. You have a game for this year. It's last year's. You're buying a roster update -- that is dumb.

Same with Madden. You are dumb if you just keep buying the same crappy product regardless of quality. That's exactly why these things don't improve. They are counting on people like you that will buy whatever they are offering because you "have" to have it.

whats funny is that.i have a friend who is not into sports games what so ever.and he keeps telling me exactly what you said yankee.so this year im gonna finally try and listen to him and so far its working.

I hit way too many home runs with the Red Sox. I swear it seems like every time I get a ball up in the zone with Manny or Papi I crank it out. However, this will obviously be fixable with some sliders. I hope someone over at OS gets a good set out soon.

Playing this game makes me want to buy a PS3 for the show so badly.

So far the only thing that 2k8 has improved on over 2k7 is bat off ball placement, meaning there are a lot more ways the ball travels when hit off the bat, and no more bullshit fielding plays, what I mean is the fielders range has been cut down so you actually hit balls over players heads.

Overall I am not very impressed, I dont know which game was better, 2K7 or 2K8 but the fact that I even have to debate it in my head is not good.

I am seriously now about to get a PS3 for the show, from the reviews I have read it is really, really good and in almost all ways better then MLB 2K8.  In franchise mode they save every box score from every game and I have heard the presentation of the franchise is the best in the biz.

God I want MLB 08 the Show badly now.

Shit if Chris don't like this game there goes me buying a 360 and trying this.

If I were you I would get a PS3, The Show is just SO much better.

Yeah,

It took me awhile to get the pitching down but now the Hr's are down and its getting more entertaining. I still hate the call by Miller" Line drive down the line is fair" when the damn ball is foul all the way and in the seats.

Yankee- My point was pretty much explained earlier. People automatically want the new "UPDATED" game. I mean I agree with what you are saying when pretty much its just a roster update. However, When you have 07 and you hear 08 is out. Your automatic feeling is that this game will have something that the older version didnt. Thus making the consumer spend $60.00 for pretty much the same game.

Well, as I already explained, that's just plain dumb. When someone hands you a box of shit and you buy it, when they come out with Box of Shit 2.0, you don't sign up for a pre-order just because its new.

But whatever. If you have money to burn, do whatever you want with it.

I honestly dont think MLB 2k7 was as bad as your making it out to be. I actually enjoyed the game. Then again, i dont expect the world out of a game like most do.
