I will be sitting in on a conference call for MLB 2K8 taking place with producer Ben Brinkman on Friday. Considering the relative lack of media on the title so far this should be a good opportunity to get some more insight into the game. With the anticipation and speculation surrounding when the demo will arrive I’m certain that will be a topic that is addressed.

I submitted a couple questions and there should be a large pool of them drawn from and responded to considering the amount of time being set aside. Check back for a full recap of the call to be posted Friday evening (here).

I hope so too, adam. As I said… really good questions. Especially this:

Has the end of season freezing bug been fixed?

It was inexcusable that they didn’t take care of that last year. I managed to get past it, but I know a lot of people didn’t.

I hope you emailed a question about the ratings in mlb2k8. They are almost identical to mlb 2k7s ratings. In my opinion they are completly off, in every way.

Ha, well they wouldn’t admit anything like that prerelease anyway.

The whole thing is perplexing. That they’ve let a couple crappy quality videos be the selling point for their game. The rest has just been talk. Thing is that the new controls are what is going to make or break it this year overall and those really have to be expierienced. Thats why the demo was so critical, and potentially not having it out prior to release so concerning. Who knows maybe it’ll exceed expectations, but they haven’t instilled much confidence to those who have this as the only sim baseball option.

I contacted Microsoft on Wednesday evening and they said that they HAVE IN FACT received the demo for MLB 2k8—HOWEVER it will take 6-8 days for the demo to be approved and uploaded onto the Microsoft Market Place…

the demo was received early Tuesday……so we can hope to get it between Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday next week.
