I'd ask you to put your translation spin on each press release from EA regarding the issues with their yearly sports titles, but then, EA don't even acknowledge them, let alone release a statement.

Once I switched the batting controls back to classic however, I found it to be much more realistic with a greater variety of hits. Most of the games that I’ve been playing now have actually been low scoring with only two or three homeruns by both teams combined.

Am about 20 games into my franchise mode, while also a couple relivers away from having a Card Team ready to go My guess is most of the people "slamming" the game either: A) Never played it B) Played about 5 games and gave up due to choppy presentation and difficulty with new controls C) Just like piling on There is no excuse for releasing a game that's in the state it's in with online play (not that that's ever stopped other companies from doing it routinely) I find the choppy frame rate beef complaints a little over-the-top. Honestly I've never had it affect gameplay issues, and I just don't watch the end game highlight reel Still - nothing feeds an Internet message board better than inflammatory exaggeration CrimsonVoodoo "I'd give the game a B-, fix the chop and online, an A" I agree Honkimon – this is a faraway better game than 2K7 and I too am enjoying it.

There is no excuse for releasing a game that’s in the state it’s in with online play (not that that’s ever stopped other companies from doing it routinely)

Im taking the opportunity (while online is unbearable) to amass a nice card team. Im confident they will address the server woes. As for all-star difficulty being too hard. I once had this oppinion, but then I gradually got better at pitching. It has taken some time to get used to, but I I have since pitched shutouts and finally got my nohitter (w/ Chris Carpenter.) I still throw my share of meatballs, especially when trying the verious curveball motions (there are 3 different ones Ive come across.) This is all on all-star. I do a fantasy draft, not the first 25 picks either. Im still working on egtting the cycle, the throw out someone stealing, and block the plate from getting bowled over achievments. I like 2k8 much better than 2k7. I dont know about you guys, but Im having a boat load of fun with this game. Im taking the opportunity (while online is unbearable) to amass a nice card team.
