A real journalistic site would keep an unbiased view of every situation... This just seems VERY fanboyish in my opinion.[/quote] What a tard you are for this comment. Pasta is an XBOX360 fanboy, I have known the guy for 10 years and all he has ever done is spew venom and rip The Playstation AND sony the whole time I have ever know him. Just Ask him how he feels about Blu-Ray VS Hd-dvd. I once came over to his house with an "I do Blu" t-shirt on to piss him off, and he would not let me come in until I took it off or covered it up! If anything he is more journalistic then other sites. He wants very bably to hate this game, but its a great game, and he is being VERY fair in showing the respect it deserves.

If you don't like the trends just say so, but people screaming "bias" are basically trolling with their own bias.

You're smart enough to know that there's no arguing with a fanboy, so it's better left alone altogether.

I've noticed that in franchise mode, you can only view his stats for last year and not the prior ones. In RTTS, can you see your player stats year by year for the full career... Thanks Hi,

How much better MLB 08 PS3 is over 2k8 is not even questionable. To those that do, it points out some serious self-evaluation time is needed. Because, it is not everyone else or Pasta in this case, it is you that needs to check yourself and what you like in a baseball game. You belong to a very small minority. There is a obvious reason for that, but you just dont see it. Oh well. You may enjoy 2k8 for what it is, but it fails on so many levels at this time. The Show 08 succeeds more than any other baseball game to date. That is why there is a huge majority that prefer The Show, that have played both games, compared apples to apples, and came away with the obvious opinion. Some things are just very black and white.
