About this product

Product Information
Major League Baseball 2K8 builds upon 2007's effort with revamped controls, visuals, physics, and play modes. Your favorite stars from around the league feature new animations in batting stances, walk-ups, celebrations, and more with refinements to 2K7's "Signature Style." Baltimore chops, bloopers, seeing-eye singles, and other hit types are now based on Inside Edge data from actual games. Defense has also seen some attention in 2K8, with improved double play animations and a more intuitive analog-based throwing system. Once a runner is on, you can steal, hit-and-run, and tag with more simplified base running controls and improved artificial intelligence.

On the mound, you'll deliver the ball with a new timing-based mechanic that makes use of the right analog stick. In addition to the key play modes from 2K7, Major League Baseball 2K8 introduces a minor league system -- 90 teams in total -- for use in both exhibition and franchise modes. Over 20 authentic minor league stadiums are also included, with the ability to download additional venues after the game's release. A new baseball card game, referred to as "2K Cards," involves unlocking and trading digital cards to complete a collection. Veteran ESPN announcers Jon Miller and Joe Morgan reprise their broadcasting duties for 2K8, and online owners can once again challenge baseball fans from around the world.
