Editorial Review: Product Description: It's 2008 and it's time to hit home runs as 2KG Major League Baseball 2K8 brings you your best season ever. Thrilling features have been added to make this season more exciting. Are you out or in? Joe Morgan is announcing 2K8! Play ball! Team play is more expansive as there are 90 minor-league teams added to the game, including authentic uniforms, many authentic minor-league stadiums, and a few generic ones as well. 2K8 also features a new baseball-card system, in which you can earn players' cards by completing certain tasks. You can then sell duplicate cards for credits to buy new card packs, which consist of 10 cards and may include a stadium or special team. But by far the coolest part of the card system is the online card battles. When you have enough player cards to fulfill the requirements of a full team, you can then combine your cards to create a team and take head-to-head against other gamers' card teams online. An entirely new and unique pitching interface which is unlike anything that's been done before. The main input comes from the right analog stick. The execution involves matching a gesture to throw the desired pitch. This enables a lot more granularity from the input than a digital face-button approach. Revolutionizing your control of the 5 tools in baseball are brand new pitching, fielding and base running controls and completely overhauled batting interface. Featuring a totally unique trading card mode, robust Minor League system, all-new Signature Style animations for 2008, and more! 90 Minor League teams available in both Franchise and Exhibition modes Over 1 MILLION online gamers in the 2K community for head-to-head games Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A noble effort - but expected a little moreI was, as others, very excited for a good baseball game for Wii and I got most of what I asked for along with some disappointment: - no on-line is the biggest fault (in this day and age?) - some of the timings are off, infielders seem slow, double play impossible - the amount of home runs is unrealistic - hitting takes a long time to master (and don't get rusty or you start from scratch) - lacking some minor league and other features that XBOX and PS3 get Read More Rating: - Just OKI bought this game a while back (on one of Amazon's Wii deal days) and enjoy the game play, but the graphics are not very good at all. I am not the type of guy who normally rates a game on graphics alone, but the ones on this game are pretty terrible. The controls in this game are also pretty shoty (i.e. check swing only works about 35% of the time, when I try to climb the wall I usually end up diving head first into it, etc). I also hate the fact that when you play 2 player mode the ball cursor ...

Once I updated my the wii's system firmware it read and played the disc just fine. Just thought I'd put this out there in case any one else is having ...

Rating: - Three steps away from greatOkay, if you're reading this review after having read a whole bunch from a lot of sites, including Amazon, you are probably as confused as I was before I picked this game up a couple of weeks ago. Well, I will try to be as up-front as I can about this game and hope that my comments help you decide to buy it. I titled the review "three steps away..." because the game is just that: GOOD, but not quite at "great" yet. The basics: Batting: This is only difficult if you can't get ... Read More |
