I just bought MLB 2k8 and it is lackluster at best. I really enjoyed The Show last year. But I think we gotta wait at least another month before its released. 2k8 did some innovative stuff with this year like an improved swing stick and improved pitching (that I can't get the hang of for the life of me) but the graphics especially of the players look like ass. The stadiums on the other hand look great.

The music is terrible, the menu setup is bad. I mean it was like 2k8 took a step back.

Between 1-10, 10 being best baseball sim of the year. This game is like a 6-7 tops. The kind of game you rent when there's nothing else you wanna play.

I'd wait until The Show comes out and then try to make a decision then. Right now I'm getting the feeling 2k8 is the game I'll end up trading in when The Show comes out.
