Major League Baseball® 2K8 takes full advantage of the Wii remote with fun, new gameplay controls:
  • Pitching – To pitch, players simply point the Wii Remote at the screen, pull back to start the pitcher’s motion, then flick the Wii Remote forward. The quicker the player flicks the remote, the more velocity and movement the pitch will have. The Nunchuk can be used to view a player’s pitch arsenal and to select which pitch to throw.
  • Batting – Swinging for the fences with Major League Baseball 2K8 on Wii will provide fans with even more fun when they control the Wii Remote as if they were swinging a real bat. The Nunchuk acts to control the direction of the ball.
  • Fielding – While controlling their designated player using the Nunchuk, players can snag fly balls and use the Wii Remote to throw to the appropriate base. Players can use Major League Baseball 2K8’s “Smart Throw” technology to throw to the best base by simply flicking the Wii Remote or can manually choose which base to throw to by pressing a direction on the directional pad.
  • Baserunning – Players can control the speed of their baserunning by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuk simultaneously, then pushing both controllers to slide.
  • Best Booth in the Business - 2K Sports proudly brings back the duo Jon Miller and Hall of Famer Joe Morgan to the broadcast booth, delivering the deepest commentary available.

Needs improvement!
By: YankeesMan1    Favorite Category: Sports    Date: Wednesday, Jul 16, 2008
Well MLB 2K8 needs improvement because the graphics aren't that good and the score box is from like 2K6. They did not put in Minor League teams which really bugged me. It stinks that it doesn't have wi-fi but season and dynasty is pretty good. All star stuff is good but they have too much banners of State Farm and all 2K8 stuff. The pitching mechanics needs some improvement but otherwise it's okay...[More]


Great game
By: Geiseric    Date: Friday, Jul 04, 2008
I was hesitant to pick this game up because of what I've heard, but I was pleasantly surprised. Now I'll get the bad out of the way first. It's not the best looking game, but for a Wii title it delivers good enough graphics. The gameplay is what makes it the best baseball game. The pitching mechanic is a great addition to make you more involved in the game. The batting has its issues especially th...[More]


Fun baseball games
By: NY Giants Fan    Favorite Category: Sports    Date: Wednesday, Jul 02, 2008
Well, for starters this game was really fun at first. It was incredibly realistic and I loved how you can run harder when you pump the remote and nunchuck up and down. Unfortunatly when you are batting you have no way to tell whether the pitch is going to be a 95 mph fastball or a 75 mph changeup. So you have to kind of just guess and hope for the best. Another thing is the sliding. They say you...[More]
