I’m also having a bit of trouble, I don’t know where to go to get patches.
I was looking all over the sportsconnect area of MLB 08: The Show and I couldn’t find a link or anything.
Is the patch supposed to automatically download when I put the game in? Anyone who knows, I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

To my knowledge they haven’t released any details of what the update changed or what their patch contained (despite promises to do so). It would be pretty pointless to write-up that 2K8 had a roster update…thats all.

did anyone get around to see who stances are new?

I believe Ryan Howard’s is as just one example. I haven’t taken a look around.

thnks

will the patch be for the ps2 as well?
April 28, 2008 at 7:58 pm
was there anything about being able to pitch from the outfield view when playing online? it won’t let you change the camera angle online.

They actually made the ball in flight shadow MUCH worse then before the patch. Before the patch anytime the ball is in flight be it a thrown ball or a fly ball you sometimes have the shadow disappear making the ball look like it jumps. It’s extremely annoying and disorienting big time. It actually hurts my eyes a lot. In the patch, it got 100 million times worse. Now it happens on almost every fly ball and happens a lot when outfielders throw the ball. You now see the shadow behind the outfielder when he is going to catch the ball. They need to really fix that. It’s pathetic.
I REALLY wish they’d lower pitch speed and foul output.

yea i really want to be able to change views online and they should also try to add a mercy rule. And if it possible to have a matching making where it just pairs you up.
April 29, 2008 at 1:02 pm
When are they going to have a patch that fixes the Catcher running to the outfield for the ball while the Outfielders just stand next to the ball looking at it? Have that problem in Career Mode.

When the heck is Evan Longoria going to get on the game?
May 3, 2008 at 9:49 am
Longoria is in the game. Before you start a franchise or season edit the Rays roster and call him up to the bigs and send down anybody you choose. Save that roster edit and then when you start your franchise or season if it asks for what roster to use pick current.
Hope this answers your question.
