OK guys, hope you enjoyed the impressions and Q&A. I am going to try and get some screenshots up now, if I can get it working. Something quirky w/ it the past 2 days.

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.
I think you missed this one, also do you still have to click the right stick for bunts? I hated that as i would sometimes bunt accidently

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

Great stuff Steve, thanks for answering. Pitching is bread and butter of any game for me and it sounds like Brinkman and the 2K team really hit a homerun with this system. I can't wait to hear impressions from everybody on Tuesday

Tradition Field is in too, awesome!

hey can you answer this please
1-is there a long white streak everytime you hit the ball and can you take it off if there is
2-how are the homerun camera angles..is that red arrow still there or is the homerun camera angle new?
3-are games realistic? like do you go 4-4 or 5-5 or 3-3 with a batter very easily with like 3 homeruns or a lot of hits and homeruns? or is it finally realistic making it difficult to hit a lot of homeruns and just in general hit a lot and score too much like 20 runs. Sorry these are a lot of questions
4- also, how are the difficulties...is Pro waaaay to east and Allstar way to hard like 2k7?
-thanks =)

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Beta Impressions

I know that in question 1 you could turn it off in 2k7. I hate that thing too!

Not sure if you're taking requests or not but I'd really appreciate it if you could post one of Hughes and Joba.

Thanks Steve.

How long is a game typically taking you? 45 min. to an hour?
