Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

How does the swing stick feel in regard to realism? Like MVP NCAA had the swing stick and it was a lot more fun then the 2K swing stick...

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

Have you seen the outfielders go "brain dead" yet? I don't know if you recall but I once snapped a 2K6 disk in half because a deep fly was hit to left field and Matsui missplayed it yet the ball landed right in front of Damon's feet ( and I mean like 6 inches from him) and he just stood there looking at the ball while my opponent took advantage and made his way home. He never picked up the ball and when I finally was able to get Matsui to clear the birds flying over his head he couldn't get to the ball because Damon was so close to it that he kept bumping off him.

Holding L trigger, then throwing to the base, throws to the cutoff man, then autothrows to the base you intended to throw to. Otherwsie to hit the cut off man midflight, hit L trigger.

I maxed em' out and while there are quite a few more balls and foul balls, it still doesn't really make a solid difference. I mean, if you max out sliders, you'd think almost every pitch would be fouled off or see a ball more often than not, and compensate the slider from there. Maybe someone comes up w/ the right combination.

Yup, right trigger diving is great. Haven't had an issue w/ it. As for wall climbs, I believe it is holding up on the right stick and right trigger to climb, just holding up to jump.

They cheer and boo at proper times, but it's just not as explosive as The Show, imho.

I'd say it's definitely coming around the corner. The controls, especially in the pitching department are really impressing me. Didn't think I'd like it, but it's growing on me.
