  • Summary: Although he is best known for his speed and base-stealing ability, the Mets' Jose Reyes is also one of the most well-rounded players in the game and is the first player in baseball history to have more than 63 steals, 120 runs, 192 hits, and 19 homers in a single season. Reyes led the Major League in 2006 with 17 triples and 64 stolen bases and set a new Mets club record with 104 hits at Shea Stadium. Also an avid video gamer and long time fan of 2K Sports’ products, All-Star Shortstop Jose Reyes is a natural fit as the official spokesperson for this year's edition of the critically acclaimed Major League Baseball 2K series.

    A huge step in the right direction in combining the hands-on experience that the system is known for with authentic baseball gameplay. There are still plenty of kinks to work out, and next year there will simply be no excuse for omitting online play or the ability to update rosters because the roster that ships with the game is painfully out of date.
  2. MLB 2K8 is an acceptable baseball sim, but is nothing to write home about. 2K works Wiimote functionality into the game pretty well, with a few hiccups here and there. There is plenty of room for improvement next year.
  3. Despite a sizable list of issues to be fixed and features to be added, 2K8 still provides a decent baseball simulation.
  4. While we would've loved a smoother and more expansive experience, what is here is great for the casuals and tolerable for the hardcore. Let's hope it's the start of bigger things to come.

    Graphics bad, game controls sub-par. I think EA needs to get the rights for MLB again.

    Ouch. Disappointing gameplay to say the least. It is WAY too easy to hit home runs on any skill level, but the pitching is next to impossible when you raise the skill level all the way up. Also, there is no way to pinch hit for a pitcher and then keep that player in the game. The double switch option doesn't accomplish this and you can't switch the "pitcher's" defensive position making it impossible to let a pinch hitter remain in the game unless you do it ahead of the pinch hit. Stupid stupid stupid. I miss EA Sports. Expand
