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 unrestrained 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 discharge the supplies of a full team, you can then combine your cards to make 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.

I found hitting and pitching to be simpler to pull off in 2K9 than they are in The Show.
I’ll probably spend more time playing 2K9 than I will The Show.

On the PS3 you can download demos of Sony’s MLB The Show 2008 and this title.
I (as I’m sure many others) have played both demos.
I do like the pitching and batting controls of 2K8, and the play by play of ESPN’s Morgan and Miller (best in the game) on 2K8 as well – but it does not come close to making up for the huge quality difference – The Show is much, much, better and simply kicks 2K’s rear end.
Both sports meeting at this point are the same price – I don’t know if anyone will choose this one.
Don’t take my word for it – play them both and see if you agree with this assessment:
MLB The Show 08 = Mercedes Benz
MLB 2K8 = Hyundai

Just an dreadful attempt at a baseball video game. Horrible framerate, terrible graphics, dull gameplay, terrible commentary – AVOID! 2K should lose their license to make MLB sports meeting after this mess. If you are a PS3 owner you have the option of getting possibly the best baseball game ever made, MLB 08 The Show. There is NO reason to buy 2K8 instead of The Show.

For me this game was just ridiculous. The controls were terrible and nearly impossible to figure out. I read the manual and did what it told me to do, but hardly anything I did worked. In my opinion this is a horrible game. Please avoid.
