MLB 2K8 producer Ben Brinkman was a guest on G4′s X-Play earlier today. A few of the topics discussed in the interview are the signature stances and walk-ups, roster updates, and the trading card system. Gameplay footage rolls throughout in the background.

I went ahead and captured the video from the show. Continue on to watch the full segment which is just under 4 minutes long.

Nope no idea. It could be IGN trying to build hype for their next preview and it ends up being the cards.

It was somewhat amusing to me that yesterday 2K put out a press release “unveiling” the new features of the game, even though they had all been known for well over a month. So in that sense it wouldn’t be surprising if they went and detailed the cards and were considering it somewhat of a “secret”.

Be careful with that. G4 are hyper anal about people having videos of their shows online like that. Don’t be too surprised if you get a cease and desist.

Is there still progressive lighting in the game. ie. do the shadows move across the field as the game goes on? The only vids I have seen thus far for MLB 2K8 have been noon games or cloudy games so I can’t tell if there are shadows like there would be if the game started at 3.

Man, I don’t even like baseball, but both 2K8 and The Show look awesome. I may be coaxed into buying one if I can be pulled away from FIFA.

I get the feeling it won’t be out until the week of release or possibly even after. Hopefully that isn’t the case but it just seems to be headed that way.

2K needs to fix the crowd… there is never that much room between seats; you pretty much have to share arm rests at the game; but 2K must be in a fantasy world where you can kick your feet up, and lounge around like you’re in a recliner…. also they need to fix the bat sounds! This should be an easy fix, shouldn’t it? At least come out with a patch that fixes bat sounds….
