MLB 08: The Show Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a huge fan of MLB The Show 07, and didn't think Sony could really improve upon itself.Boy was I wrong!Here are just some of the improvements made.....

1.Improved graphics - not as much of a cartoony look.Amazing looking fields, background animation (people playing with beach balls in the stands, just as examples) And this time people actually go for foul balls hit into the stands.

2.Improved stats - This game track EVERYTHING, including how your player fares at the plate with various pitches, locations, pitchers, etc.It also has a better "training" mode in my opinion.Similiar to last year's, but a little more specific.

3.You can import your own soundtrack to play in the game.And the manual makes it very easy to do so.

The only thing that I found that was a negative so far is when you are fielding.If the batter takes a ball or strike, many times the at-bat starts over, with a 0-0 count.

They did say that you can play an entire game, and even save the game before a full game is completed.However, this DOES NOT APPLY to the "Road to the Show" mode.

If you want a baseball game that is realistic in just about every aspect, you need to buy this game.I played 07 until today, when I bought 08.And I am certain I will be playing this one until 09 comes out.

Major League Baseball 2K8 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow...this game could have been absolutely fantastic for the Wii.However, there are some MAJOR components missing or severely lacking with this game.

1)The graphics are Playstation 2 quality...and that's being nice.I understand the Wii isn't a graphics powerhouse like the 360 or PS3, but after playing Super Mario Galaxy and seeing screenshots of Super Smash Brothers, it's obvious that the 2K team on this project dropped the ball.

2)Hitting is insanely difficult.I have played seven exhibition games now and am having a rather difficult time with it.

3)No online multiplayer.I don't get that decision.

4)No minor leagues.I've checked and can't find it...although the box has the official minor league sticker on the case.Not really a big deal in my opinion.There are some good points to the game...

1)The commentators are insanely good.Actually the best in any sports game that I have played.

2)The pitching controls are really good.You choose a type of pitch, then point your remote to where you want the ball to go, then flick your wrist to begin the pitch...a bullseye will appear with red, yellow, and green areas.You want to get it in the green area.You use a throwing motion to lock in that bullseye location.

3)Defense motion is very realistic.I've had my shortstop dive at a ground ball and then make the throw to first from his knees.I've had several double play balls that are just crazy realistic.

If you can get over the pathetic graphics and lack of online play, then my guess is that you would really enjoy this game.I have a feeling that I will improve on the hitting over time...so I can't dog that too much.If the graphics were better I would have given this four stars.Add the online play, and I would give it five stars.
