MLB 2K8 or MLB '08? - Page 4

HolmeZz · 02-18-2008, 11:24 PM

I haven't bought a baseball game since MVP '04 and I'm getting conflicting reports on each of the two current series of games. Some of my friends have said decent things about the 2K series and hated The Show games, while sites like Gamespot seem to have had more favorable ratings for The Show than the 2Ks.

Can someone with knowledge of the games run down some pros and cons? Does either have a batting simulation similar to the old MVP games where you can guide your swing with L3? What are the franchise/career modes like?

Any help would be appreciated.

Bottom line, a released game should not have these types of issues.

Same here... I'm really not interested in spending $60 in a game that can't run at a reasonable frame rate. Ken Griffey Jr. baseball had that figured out 10 years ago.

MLB The Show 08 is incredible. I've been playing Road to The Show mode with myself as a Royals system shortstop. I had a decent spring but was still optioned to AA to begin the season. Callaspo was playing short for the Naturals, but, fortunately for me, he had an injury after the 2nd game. I took over and played well in the first few games.

The minor leage stadiums are fun to see and the gameplay is outstanding. It's been a great pickup for the PSP for travel.
