A few new MLB 2K8 details

The March issue of Game Informer has made its way out and it includes an article on MLB 2K8 that mentions a few previously unknown details about the game.

There is so much content included in the game that it couldn’t all fit onto the 360 disc. Free downloadable content will be provided for what was left out

Apparently the 360 version of the game is lacking the unlockable stadiums and Cool Base alternate uniforms that the PS3 version has. Because of that they will be made available on release day as free downloadable content. While this shouldn’t bother those who have access to Xbox Live, those who don’t will miss out on the content completely which is unfortunate. It is somewhat surprising to hear of capacity issues when games such as Madden and NCAA Football pack so much in without having to take similar measures.

The hitting window has expanded from three frames in 2K7 to 12-16 frames in 2K8. This should increase the ability to protect the plate by being able to foul balls off as well as provide better hit variety.

It is good to read some specifics on how contact at the plate has been addressed. Last year the lack of hit variety was one of the most glaring problems with the game. It remains to be seen whether this will result in the level of consistency necessary to where home runs aren’t the sole source of scoring. One of the questions I submitted for the conference call on Friday deals with this topic so hopefully I’ll be able to detail the work they did in this area even further in the recap.

Alternate uniforms? Whoopie frigging do..

Sports games are the same old thing year after year. They try to put a new spin on it by saying look at this new awesome button combination, ooh ahh, how exciting. The only thing that matters from one year to the next is the roster updates, if I could that without buying another version of the same darn thing I would. I of course will buy the baseball game, start a new season, play just a handful of games, get bored with it then trade it in on something else, probably Madden 09.

It seems that the NTSC-J version of MLB 2k8 is PAL compatible – it will play on PAL xbox 360s. You can get it at play-asia.com

I emailed them to double check and would encourage you to do the same, but I went ahead and ordered it. The instruction book will be in japanese but the game is in English.

They did the same thing with ‘The Bigs’

Pasta i really hope you asked about the rosters in mlb 2k8, and why they look so much like last years. Hopefully the out of the box update is much better.

Yeah you are right about Mass Effect but there is still a whole bunch of stuff like the fully spoken codex and other features. I guess that what I meant to say was that sports games are not the ones that should be filling up discs. Games like Oblivion and Mass Effect are.
