This game is essentially the same as MLB2K7 with updated rosters. I think even the same commentary sound bites have been used for most of the game. I still rate game as beacuse I believe the game play and graphics are solid. The game scoring however (recording of errors and saves) can be an issue for the purest as quite often are scored incorrectly. I don't know why they do not record holds either. Last time I checked it was now a recognised MLB statistic. If you are not interested in the current game roster's, save some money and buy last year's game, you will not miss out on much. All up though, a great game and well worth a look.
I like the graphics and the mechanics involved for pitching, hitting, etc. For pitching, it's more than just hitting a button to select a pitch. Timing is involved. You select the pitch, and hit the button again for accuracy. For hitting, I like that you can take different swings at the ball. There is a button for making contact. And, there's another button for a power swing (going for the fences). I'm still learning the game, but very satisfied with what I've seen so far. I've yet to perfect the base-running aspects of the game.
A little different set up than other games but not bad

The game is okay. The reason I bought it is because i'm a baseball fan and I thought I would really like. I'm not a gamer I almost never play video games, but I thought I would give this a shot because it has something to do with sports. I don't know much about games , but I think this game had bad graphics.
Awesome game love it!
