What’s this? A sports game review, in MAH Destructoid?
Ah, baseball…America’s national pastime. It’s my favorite sport, and as an avid fan and a hardcore gamer in general, I’ve always been heavily invested in the outcome of its digital representations. So each year, I scour gaming websites for reviews and thoughts on the newest iterations of the numerous sports franchises out there. But lately, I haven’t had to spend as much time doing that.
As most gamers know, exclusivity deals for baseball and football videogames for 2K Sports and EA, respectively, have completely transformed the market. Ask pretty much anyone except the publishers themselves, and you’ll hear that exclusivity is the bane of gamers everywhere. But EA and 2K are surely working hard each year to refute that idea, though arguably, they haven’t been entirely successful.
Will this year’s effort be scored as a hit or an error? Does 2K Sports strike out looking or go down swinging? Will I stop making awful baseball puns? Is Major League Baseball 2K8 a worthy successor to EA’s MVP Baseball 2005 atop the throne of baseball videogame supremacy? Read on for the verdict.
