Still isn't as good as the MVP Baseball, series. Gameplay flaws ruin what should be a fun game.

After you switch the pitching to last years version which has worked for years, you actually have a chance of throwing a strike that isn't a homer. But, this game sux. I really wish EA was still making MVP Baseball for XBOX. It really sux that this is the only baseball sim you can get on XBOX 360.

Outfield and infield collisions, infield glitches where pitchers miss covering first base. New hitting mode is only improvement over last years game. And it is only a minor improvement otherwise hitting is mostly the same.

I Really hope they actually make this game better next year. MLB 2k8 is really just a very minorily improved 2k7.

Overall gameplay is easy, The cpu never steals, the new pitching method is completely useless. It is Junk. I actually tried to use the new pitching method I got beat 33-3. I didn't strike anybody out and I only got through 3 innings.

This game is THE reason i bought a PS3. The SHOW DOMINATES.
