Great game! 2K8 is the best MLB game out there.Review created: 04/01/08

I absolutely love this game. The one compliant I would have is that it is a little choppy with the graphics. All in all, this is so worth the money and very realistic. Best MLB game I have ever owned!

A baseball geek left with a hangover.1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I was extremely excited when I picked up 2k8, that didn't last very long. I just flat out was disappointed with this game. The new hit stick was okay, but provided way to many homeruns once you got it down and the pitching was far to sensitive. The idea behind the pitching is a good one, it needs to be refined. Having you use a thumb stick to pitch and when you make one mistake the ball is in the stands. I did an entire fantasy draft, since I'm a Pirates fan, and I was losing games 16-4 with the regular team. All the time I spent doing the fantasy draft, I started my first game and that game just ended 16-14, with me hitting more homeruns. The game has potential but needs refined.

Extremely dissapointing game, don't buy!2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Although I had waited for this game to come out forever, I still waited and bought it on ebay just to save a few bucks and boy I'm glad I did. This game is terrible. Instead of improving playability and glitches from last year, 2k sports instead added new controls that are harder to use than last year and did something to the graphics to where the game is constantly jerky and lags. They recycled the same boring commentary from last year and as far as I know the same stupid baserunning and fielding glitches still exist. The only good thing they did to the game was update the rosters. Instead of addressing these issues they just added a bunch of bells and whistles like being able to watch your bullpen. I wish now I would have kept my PS2 with MVP '05 which was ten times better than this crap! I played this game twice and only finished one game, got pissed off, and now it's back on ebay with no reserve. I don't care what I get out of it as long as somebody wants it. I wish they had The Show for the 360. I will never own another 2k game in my life!

Has some issues but still pretty solid game.Review created: 03/14/08

This game is very fun but has some issues that can hamper the playing experience. It has a cool new pitching system and hitting is a lot better than last years. There are some bugs with fielding and the on-line play is not very good. A $39.00 buy on ebay is definitely the way to go.

OK but not great2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Was looking forward to this for awhile - I have to say there are positives but many negatives though. Let's start with the good stuff.
1. I like the new pitching. Much better than just pushing one button. You move the right stick in different directions and have to time it correctly or you throw a meatball which is then deposited into the outfield seats by the opposing hitter.
2. The swing stick is pretty fun. Again, you have to make two movements with the right stick in order to hit. Better, in my opinion, than hitting one button.
3. The new throwing is solid. You have to hold down the right stick with which base you want to throw to, and you have to time it correctly or you'll throw it in the dirt or over someone's head. Again, better than just hitting a single button.
Now for the bad...
1. No updated graphics and no updated commentary. They at least could have had Joe Morgan say something different this year. Come on!
2. Seems like the game tries to play quicker than the graphics can keep up. The screen is constantly skipping around and freezing for a second or two. Sports games need to flow well.
3. Online play is useless. As another reviewer said, you're basically playing an entirely different game when you play online. You have to start your swing while the pitcher is in his wind-up, which causes you to swing at a lot of bad pitches. On top of that, the game plays even slower. A friend of mine and I bought the game basically just to play online and after one game, we gave up.
In my opinion, this is a $40 game at best. Of course I paid $60 and it doesn't come anywhere close to competing with other games as far as online gameplay goes.

MLB 2k8I love what 2k sports has done with this game. 2k7 and 2k6 were too easy. This year you actually have to try to pitch, not just press a button, and the swing stick 2.0 has gotten a little harder. I'm impressed with the game.

This game is very very disappointing. I was looking forward to this game for months and when i finally got it and put it in, i was pissed off ever since. ok we will start with the graphics. the graphics do not look like they were updated since last season, they are just ok graphics. they are nothing that will make you say, oh my got that looks so real. the ball parks i dont think look the best but they are ok. also what bugs me is the people in the crowd. they put like 4 or 5 people per row and the people have enough room to pretty much lay down. its lame, the crowd should be alot bigger. ok now on to the pitching. pitching controls this year suck. you use the right stick. it is the most difficult type of pitching i have ever done. i am terrible at it. the need to just do the power meter pitching like on the EA baseball games. so pitching is horrible. now for batting. batting is ok. nothing specail. you still have the swing stick. its ok. there really is not alot of talent into batting though. ok now fielding. fielding is lame. the graphics are terrible and frame rate sucks. it feels like i am playing a game on gamecube or something. and i can never hit the cut off man. ok, now for online play. this is worthless. it is unplayable. the delay is the worst of its kind. you have to start your swing before the pitcher releases the ball. ya so can swing at ball after ball after ball. i would say dont bother buying this game. i own it and now i am thinking about getting rid of it even though i really wanna play a baseball this year. this game will only disappoint

GREAT XBOX 360 GAMEReview created: 03/09/08

This game is one of the best to come out in a long time. I decided to buy it because it is the only baseball game out for the xbox 360. I wasn't expecting much out of it because i have heard bad reviews about it. At first, like any game, it was annoyingly difficult. The hitting was not as hard to master but the pitching was a different story. I spent about an hour just serving up meatballs untill I did the pitching tutorial and it made all the difference. The pitching aspect of the game is what sets it apart from all the rest. The creators did a great job of having the gamer throw a curveball with the type of motion you need in real life. This is the same with all the other pitches too. Finally the graphics, the graphics are amazing with the players real reaction for example when Manny Ramirez jacks a home run he puts his arms out in celebration. Even the stances of the hitters and pitches are real life even for the new guys like Elsbury and Matsuzaka. The players shirts even ripple when it is windy!!! Go out and get the game because it is worth every penny. PS3 can have MLB 08 The Show, We've got MLB 2K8!

The Best baseball Game maker is Back I have to have it!0 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:
http://www.youtube.com/wa
Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you, this is 100% real. I wouldn't jeopardize my eBay account status if this was a scam. My feedback is real and I will answer you on any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!
There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)
Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own personal link after your orders placed.
