    i think im the only one who likes the 2k baseball. i dont like anything else 2k makes, but either way it is good for the competition end of it.

    yea i played it online, and i know its choppy and you have to swing early, but its all timing. dont forget 2k7 was the almost the same way...imo no one wanted to take the time to learn the new pitching, then blamed it on the online play.

    I still can't help but think of what these two teams working together could put together for the ultimate hockey game!

    I had the same high hopes for Madden, but w/out the competition Madden IMO hasn't produced a good game since 05.

    When the lag gets bad sometimes that you have to swing before the pitch is even released, that's not "timing", that's a crappy game.

    And I loved the new pitching and had no problems with it, but yes, the online did murder the game brutally.
