MLB 2K8?

[nnarum]

MVP 2005 won't work on my 360 when Xbox.com says it should work...

MLB 2k7 wasn't THAT bad... There were some problems. The defense played like superman, diving and picking up any type of line drive... The World Series andLCS games were during the Day which should be played at night... And it was WAY to easy to hit homers... As long as they can balance the defense, balance thehitting, and change the minor mistakes like the WS and LCS games, I think this could be the best MLB 2k game yet.

The Show is nice, but not everyone has a PS3 or will justify purchasing one if they just want to play the Show.

yall are trippin ... anyone who hasnt played mlb the show and is saying any other baseball game is better is on that white ... i dont have time for video gameslike i used to but one of the games i did play for a good while was the show in first person mode ... i dont think ive ever thrown a pitch in the game cuz im ashortstop and all i have to do is play d, turn 2 and hit lol ... its the greatest first person mode in any sports game to date

i don't know about the show.....i had it for ps2, and it was awful. there hasn't been a good baseball game since mvp 2005.

 

[hustle1man]

i miss mvp so badly, does anyone know when 2Ks exclusive contract runs out, so EA can jump back into the mix?

 

[loveofthegame916]

when does it come out

 

[gregzzy23]

The show last year was amazing, it was the ONLY game I played on the ps3. This years will be even better but I dont have a ps3 anymore.

I wish we could play in the new yankee and mets stadiums already.

2k7 was TERRIBLE btw but its your only choice if you have 360

 

[throwbacksinsf]

mvp 2005 is the best baseball game ever on any console.

mlb 2k6 sucked. i returned that so fast.

mlb 2k7 was a big improvement in graphics but gameplay was still suspect.

mlb 08 the show looks like the truth but i have yet to see any video on 2k8.

you would think that grabbing the main developer guy from the mvp series would be good for 2k. he even admits mvp is the best ever yet every new release of 2kis more and more different.

if the 2k8 demo sucks, im buying a ps3 just for the show.
