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 Amazon.com: The Complete MLB Experience: Major League Baseball 2K8 returns to the diamond with the most complete MLB experience available.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Better than 2K7While sharing many similarities to MLB 2K7, MLB 2K8 appears to be a much more superior game. A few positives: No longer can you guess the pitch and know immediately that its going to be somewhere. The guess takes a little bit longer to show up in the hitting zone, thus making you pay a little bit more attention. The Minor leagues are much more in depth and many current minor leagues are represented, but not by name. You have to figure them out by their first intials. ... Read More Rating:  - wowHuge disappointment, there are so many glitches in the game play its impossible to write them all out. First, the guide book is useless, it doesn't tell you how to steal bases (which after months of playing I still can't figure out), and that when you press X when theres a popup the outfield will call for the ball, useful information when you consider if you dont do that the outfielders will collide almost every time. Putting that aside, infielders collide while one is throwing to a base, ... Read More Rating:  - terrible gameThe graphics in this game is awful and so is the gameplay. It freezes and it is just a boring game. Mvp baseball 2005 for gamecube has better graphics and better gameplay. I strongly recommend not buying this game. Rating: - Bring back MVP Baseball, 2k sucks.MLB 2k8 I would say is the worst baseball game I have ever played. There are no good features to this game. The gameplay is so bad that it is almost impossible to play a realistic game. For one the batting is fine on pro mode, but the pitching absolutely sucks. For example I can not pitch agood game at all with dominate aces like Johan Santana. YOur closers will suck. I had K-Rod, who we know is absolutely dominate had a 9.60 ERA for me. Now that is very unrealistic. Before that I had Billy Wagner with a ... Read More Rating: - MLB 2k8 was an abortion from the start. What a shame. I liked 2k7, but 2k tried to do too much new and ruined the fun experience and sim aspects with the stupid analog stick pitching that is broken. Way too many meatballs. Frame rate is substandard, especially on the PS3 version. Save your money and get 2k7 if you only have an XBox 360. If you have a PS3, then the Gods of Sim Baseball have shined on you with MLB 08 The Show, the best baseball game yet. 2k is on the verge of losing their MLB license after the complete utter mismanagement ...
