And to be honest some of them, I am not sure they ever really actually played 2k8.

You are probably correct and I'm starting to think they have more post totals over here than over there. I guess anger/rage tops enjoyment these days, huh?

It goes both ways, as there are a few in the Show Forums as well. The blatant trolls really stand out, and you can see the agenda, and the more you read, the more apparent it becomes they really haven't played the game they are bashing, they've just gleaned some info from the bug threads.

I just ignore them at this point. Now, there are some criticisms for both games, that I find are more than valid.

honestly, I like the show way better, but with sf's sliders mlb2k8 has been enjoyable. I still don't like the idea of signing out everytime to play a game with framerate issues. But, for the show is it, but 2k8 can be enjoyable as well. Just be happy that there are two games available.

Agreed. It's probably best to ignore them. Even though I'm having a blast playing 2k8, I know there could be improvements in the presentation and graphical sides of things. If that doesn't happen next year, then I might be begging the wife for the PS3 and tell her about the BluRay qualities.

Lets get this straight. I love 2k games. Nfl2k5 is still my favorite football game. Nba2k8 is a classic. My problem is with mlb2k8. I hate the graphics, framerate, commentary and overall feel of the game. I'm no Sony lover or anything but the show is a better game period. I never came in here saying the show is better ext. I was only stating my huge disappointment with this game. Also about framrate. It plays like at 15-20 fps. It studders alot and its extremly annoying. This is not what I expected from brinkman who was part of MVP which I loved. Another thing I hate the fact that EA is trying to buyout 2k. I hate EA. So don't think I'm happy about that at all. I'm with u on that one. I want this game to play as smooth as silk. Its the 3rd year and they can't make a great baseball game. 2k7 was good but not great.

Article really makes no sense.

Says he is not all that much of a Baseball fan
Says the game is boringm which is because he is not a baseball fan.
Says it's the same game as last year , which it isn't .
Says He mastered the game last year. Oh really, you mastered the new Pitching, Batting. Fielding , and throwing all last year?

Sounds too much like just a ***** whine to me, nice try though.

Good points, I just don't see why a proffesional site would post this article.

For me, I hate 2K with a passion because they bought off the MLB to kill a vastly superior game (MVP) and are now forcing 360 owners to buy their crap baseball game if they want to play baseball on their console. I despise such anti-consumer business practices and 2K's unwillingness to do something to get their game up to par because they have no competition on 2 of the 3 consoles. The unfortunate thing about it is that 360 owners are so desperate for a baseball game, this game sells anyway despite it's poor quality. If I can do anything to get the word out to keep even one person from being ripped off by this miserable company, it's worth it to me.

It makes me mad to see other baseball fans not to get to enjoy playing the great game of baseball on their consoles because of underhanded business practices. I shouldn't have had to sell my 360 and spend another $500 just to be able to play a great game of video baseball.
