My first 2 games were really close and now I score 15-20 runs a game, I need to get it off rookie now because I have got the hang of it. haha Yeah, ya think? yea, but it is just so fun destroying teams instead of having close games. Is anyone else annoyed at Dice K in the show? his pitch delievery is so slow and he always seems to do worse than my other 4 starters on my franchise team.

I seriously suck at pitching in this game (2K8). I have the higest ERA in the league but have scored the most runs and thus, have a 4-2 record so far. It's really ing annoying to win games 18-10. I don't think I have scored less than 8 runs once. Can I make their pitchers better but their batters worse? lol...

I can't understand how always destroying teams can be fun in any way.

I don't know, I just love getting hit after hit after hit, but a challege is fun too. O and about me saying Dice k is bad in my franchise, he just pitched a perfect game, guess he isn't that bad.

i'll get mlb 2k8 sometime during the week and i'll probably start a dynasty diary on here for those who are interested.
i don't own a PS3 and i'd much rather get an mlb game on a next-gen console, so i'm opting for mlb 2k8 for the xbox 360 instead of the show for PS2.

Wow the new control schemes in 2K8, especially pitching, really blow. When I'm fielding I always think right trigger is turbo, so instead of making an easy flyout, my give dives and lets in a run. Turns out they completely removed the turbo button.

I also like the show more than 2k because the show has auto fielding and 2k does not. I also like auto base running. I hate fielding and base running l like to concentrate on hitting and pitching.

Turns out they completely removed the turbo button. Absolutely. I gave up 11 runs in the first as the mariners against the reds. The batting also blows. And Ichiro ( arguably the fastest player in MLB) cannot even cover centerfield. This game pisses me off.

I'm still having a bit of difficulty with the pitching on 2K8, other than that it's a great game.

The load times in MLB 08 suck on ice. I ripped it to my memory card on my PSP and the thing runs so much faster it's ridiculous. Running off the memory card, there's nothing not to like about it.

I went to purchase MLB 2k8 today, and was told by the worker at Gamestop that like 3 to 4 people returned it on the first day, and many others went to trade it in just a few days after. I've never had the experience before where the cashier is like "DONT BUY THIS."
It was a nice change of pace.

I've been a loyal follower of the 2K series since EA stopped making baseball games. After hearing many people say that 2K8 is horrendous (and even a step down from 2K7), I bought MLB 08 The Show, and I have to say it is not only THE BEST BASEBALL GAME EVER, but one of the most realistic sports games I've ever played.

Is there any way to get Joe Girardi to be the manager in MLB 08 The Show? Because it pisses me off every time I change pitchers or do a mound visit that my manager is some Mexican with a beard wearing #24.

So I just tried to download the new MLB 08 The Show rosters.....and I have all the new players like Fukudome, everyone is where they are supposed to be.......but it messed up what the players look like! Nobody in the entire game has any wristbands, forearm bands, long or 3/4 sleeves, arm guards, shin guards.......it like removed ALL the accessories! I was finally going to start my franchise.....now I'll probably have to wait another week because I doubt they will do another update this week.

SCEA doesn't have the rights to use Joe Girardi in the game. Why no Joe Girardi? The game mentions MANY other managers, base coaches and pitching coaches BY NAME and has their faces in the game. Joe has been OFFICIALLY the manager of the Yankees since November of 2007 and the game came out March 3rd 2008. And I know its not because he's a first year manager (2nd technically but he was not active for 2007), Bobby Meacham, first year Yankee 3rd base coach is IN the game and mentioned BY NAME. Why no Girardi. I did a roster update and now my manager is #8, lol.....if they are going to make it some generic guy, at least make him wear #27 even if he looks nothing like Girardi or says his name.
