User Rating: 4 | Major League Baseball 2K8 X360
2K sports third baseball title on the 360 is no better than the first. Instead of making better game play they are spending thier time on "player cards", the type of addition that should only be considered AFTER YOU HAVE A BASEBALL GAME WITH SOLID GAME PLAY. The entire game is played with the right analogue stick, hitting, pitching, even a through from 2nd to first. What's wrong with the cursor when you're hitting? That is a tried and true method and is what best resembles the hand-eye cordination it takes to hit a real baseball. The only good thing I can say about this game is the presentation and the graphics. The announcers seem to be pretty articulate and the graphics do take adavantage of the 360's hardware (except for the framerate, uggghh),but those things should take a backseat until you have the game play right. I think I'll keep playing All Star Baseball 05 seeing as it looks like a backwards compatible xbox baseball game is going to be the best baseball I can get on the 360. Screw you 2K sports.
