Going to play the demo some more, and whenver the 2k demo drops check it out and see what game i will purchase. I am curious to see the new swingstick 2.0 and the new pitching from the 2k game.
I too just played the demo for the show and it killed MLB from last year.

If the graphics are the same in 2k8 as 2k7, the show will destroy them.

2k7's graphics are way better then the Show. I dont even see a comparison really. The show runs alot smother though, but thats compared to last years game. No clue on this years game. Will find out in a few days though.

Thats funny I was just getting ready to say, I'm still partial to RBI Baseball and Bases Loaded. :)

I liked 2k7 a lot (sliders were vital, though), and the series has really made strides since Brinkman came aboard. I'll probably rent 2k8 at the very least, and probably end up capitulating and buying it if I can pry myself away from OOTP long enough to play it.

That being said, The Show makes me want to say "**** it" and buy a PS3. I'm still tempted to pick up the PS2 version, despite the pains that are the load times and graphics.

Speaking of OOTP, I love dis beisbol game.

I believe it was the first game to ever keep running stats.
absolutely! Still play it from time to time in NES emulator.

I played that game day and night back in the day....for an NES game, it was quite complex....free agency...building up your players attributes...standings....full stats with top 10 in many categories....and that catchy music non-stop.

The best was when you could climb the outfield fence and rob someone of a HR.

Great game.

I just thought 2k7's graphics were very, very choppy. In playing the demo for the Show, I didn't get an ounce of that. The graphics were very smooth. The gameplay was smooth.

I think that in-game, it's an average baseball game. Nothing special. The other things like franchise and career mode have some problems with generating realistic simulations.

It's been a long while since I played it, but for example in career mode I created myself as a closer. After building my player up diligently over several seasons, I could never get a contract like an upper echelon closer should get. Even being almost max skills and in the mid/late 20s, I'd get contract offers like $2 million over 3 years.

Further, my player started with the Royals, and after making it to the majors finally I kept getting sent down to AAA for seemingly no reason. At the start of one season, I made 6 or 7 appearances, gave up a run or two but saved all of them, but it was back to Omaha. Conversely, I was mowing them down in Omaha and couldn't do anything to get called back up. It seemed to go away once you signed a free-agent deal, but before that it was almost random.

Hopefully they fix the career mode because it was pretty cool apart from the realism issues.
This is an easy fix: Just go to the OPTIONS menu and DESELECT "Carl Peterson" as the GM of your team.

You know I'm biased, but The Show is off the chain for this year. We just shipped the commercial we shot with Ryan Howard, it will begin airing this week. But the graphics are dam amazing. You do get to select your swing pre-pitch. The "stick" batting in 2k is still glitchy, from what I've heard. And though I'm not a sports gamer, I could get into The Show pretty easily in Rookie mode. And in Franchise mode, you have to learn all the 3rd base coach signals (they really give them to you based on the situation) and deep strategies for hitting and building your career. That is, if you're that deep into the game of baseball.

I just read the IGN review of The Show: 08 and it was pretty good. They said it is the game to get.

I played the 07 version on PS2 and loved it.

I love the show but playing online pisses me off..it always goes into "traffic delay" mode and sometimes stays that way until someone quits..2k had no problem playing online

Off-topic, but: Awesome avatar. I can't wait to play LittleBigPlanet.
