MVP fans who haven't had a good night sleep sense they last played MVP 05 ..... OURS PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!
Now onto the review!
This game is a HUGE improvement in almost every way over MLB 2K7 and it has almost turned into MVP 05! Here is what has been added sense MLB 2K7:
- new fielder's throwing meter where you can sacrifice accuracy for speed and vice versa.
- new minor league system with 90 minor league teams and 20 stadiums!
- new Card system which is VERY fun and like an extra 500+ game achievements
- new pitching mechanism that can be tricky at first, but the funnest way to pitch EVER (you can use the old pitching if you want)
- the hitting has been done so low inside pitches aren't taken to the opposite field for a HR
- swing stick 2.0... its basically just the power swing from 2K7 except there is no contact or power swing. Its just a swing! (don't worry you can go abck to Swing Stick 1.0 and Classic)
- new base running.. it's ok...
Here is what has been fixed sense MLB 2K7.
- Franchise: you have total control. You can edit any player, trade any player, and there is an option you can turn on so the CPU can't trade players with an OVR of 80+
- Franchise: ridiculous stats.. Johan Santana no longer posts 5+ ERA and every single 70 overall players isn't batting .300, 20 HR, 100 RBI...
- Game play: like I said above, the hitting has been completely redone so you can't hit an 400ft opposite field HR from getting jammed low and inside
- Online: there is now a lobby where you can throw STRIKES ONLY!!!!
This game has improved is almost every way except graphics which are already sweet. I recommend getting this game completely!
Here is my score for the 5 categories.
Game play 9/10
Graphics 8/10
Sound 8/10
Value 8/10
Tilt 9/10
Overall 8.5/10
