Last night I had the chance to discuss everything 2K Sports’ Major League Baseball 2K8 related with the game’s producer, Ben Brinkman. We discussed changes to the game since 2K6 and what he thinks of all the new features.
In Ben’s opinion, 2K6 and 2K7 was just about getting the game right, with 2K8 being the year to refine gameplay and add new features. This was accomplished with a completely new simulation AI, including the batter/pitcher interface, fielding, and base running. New controls have been added, mainly in the pitching area, to make the game feel more realistic.
Jose Reyes, some consider to be the best leadoff hitter in baseball and a potential MVP candidate(Not me, I’m a Yankees’ season holder and thinks he couldn’t hold Jeter’s jock strap), will be on the cover and the spokesperson for the only official MLB licensed game. For the official press release, click the more button. No word if the cover will be him and David Wright posing as they did in GQ awhile back.
