MLB 08: The Show coverage to begin

Posted March 3rd, 2008 at 12:40 pm

My copy of MLB 08: The Show has arrived so after getting some time in with it I’ll begin the coverage. My current plan is to begin my Road to the Show career with the first update coming tonight. I also expect to record some full 9 inning games (possibly getting one up tonight) and will post my general early impressions of the game by tomorrow morning.

If you have any requests for matchups to be in the videos or screenshots of specific players leave them in the comments. Ratings are difficult to communicate because they use the bars instead of numbers. I can’t guarantee I’ll get to every suggestion but I’ll be looking at them and try to at least use and answer some.

I’ve added a short video clip to hold everyone over featuring a 12 pitch AB with the bases loaded. Continue on to watch the video.

Anyone vs. the Reds please!!!! Great job with your baseball coverage…even though I’m leaning heavily on the 2k8 side at this point, I would like to know “the enemy”.

I know your going The Show but, do you know when your copy of 2k is coming in? I have a 360 so The Show is a no go. Well maybe on the PSP.

Where did you order your copy from? Amazon?

Lets see the Mariners vs. The Angels!!! Should be a good heated matchup all season long. Also, can you have Bedard start. I can’t wait for your RTTS coverage.

It would be great to see a full 9 inning game of the Cleveland Indians at home against Minnesota Twins.

Thanks

the Royals are pretty unknown… and Kauffman, i think most true baseball fans will agree, is a absolutely beautiful stadium… even if it doesnt host a “primetime” team

I’d like to watch a Tampa Rays vs. Washington Nationals match up. Mostly to see the Nats new ballpark and the Rays new unis.

A Screenshot of the new crowd going after a foul ball would be awesome.

No sweat if you can’t get to it, I’ll be picking up my copy early tomorrow morning. If I ever fall asleep?!?!

I just watched the Reds/Cubs video from http://www.vimeo and noticed that Griffey throws right-handed and wears his old #30 in the vid. Is this an early build of 08?? C’mon, how could they screw HIM up?!?!?
