Disappointing... The graphics on a standard large-screen TV are not good. I have played PS3 titles on standard TV and the graphics are usually decent. This looks like a PS2 title. The hitting is semi-ridiculous. Both the CPU and human player make about a dozen circus catches a game. It is not uncommon to play multiple 2-1 games in a row, slightly ridiculous. There are also bugs galore. Instant replays that do not match what you are watching (i.e. a recap piece where a Home Run goes over the wall and the announcer says it was an inside the park HR). And of course, the game freezes. I played a 10 inning game today and it froze in the top of the 10th. Good Decent game for fans of the series. Controls are a bit clunky but nothing you can't get used to. Not even close We downloaded and played this game after playing MLB 08 The Show. This game has terrible graphics, the controls aren't very good either. The pitching interface didn't even make sense. I don't know, after playing The Show this game proves how far behind it really is. 2K8 has some nice games, but the baseball is just bad and full of glitches along with fumbling controls. I agree with the first guy...much more like a PS2 game graphically. The people involved with making this game need to take a long, hard look at MLB '08 to see how a true baseball game should be made. Bad showing 2K8. Thank goodness for demos because this would be a waste of money.
