		<description>The graphics in 08 won&#039;t be anything special because the PS3 I believe is capable of so much more. So I think those images look ok. Not awesome nor great, but ok as in just fine. I believe though if they cared much about the graphics they could make it look 10 times better and I mean tons better with as much power as Sony says the PS3 has. Or maybe Sony is lieing and the PS3 really doesn&#039;t have much power. It would be nice to have Sony work on improving the graplhics like 10 fold, not just a minor update.</description>

		<description>I agree rolan. However there are a few cool things in the other game that would be neat to be in MLB08 and future releases.

MLB07 The Show is just way awesome overall.</description>

		<description>I guess I ran out of space so I&#039;d like to say that the sound of the game is amazing. The ball off the bat sound live in game and in replays, ball being caught in replays has the low bass sound, player footsteps you can hear them etc. Please keep all this. Awesome!</description>

		<description>I also think there needs to be info about how much money you made for that game after the game is played. After the game there needs to be more info about that game such asd fan attendance numbers like from the beginning, but in the end game info. Time of game is nice too. Not as in 45 minutes, but a realistic estimate like from mlb2k7. In that game it says time of game can be 3 hrs 12 minutes or whatever.  End of game info should have replays of the best plays durring that game like from mlb2k7. Be nice to save the ones you want like the new MLB Replay vault thing. The money lost durring the season is rediculous to me. I don&#039;t like the way it is now by showing I have lost 13 million bucks so far in the season. I just mean that there should be a better way to deal with the money in the game. End of game info such as attendance, how much you made from vendors, parking, attendance etc seperated. Total amount made for that game etc. Also when yer on the road you make money by the tv audiance. So have a TV rating like mlb2k7 does. Say 11.7 and market size of say 3 million or whatever. How much did you make from this away game? So say $865,000 with 11.7 rating, or a less rating then less money made from that away game etc. Keep the tv contracts and all the money finance features in the game now too. They&#039;re awesome. 

There needs to be a printed manual that is 100% and very descriptive. Don&#039;t only tell the basic controller functions, but please explain all settings, all features, all ways to use the settings and features like what they do etc. Ingame manual info for each screen is awesome too and of course needs to be in the game. However you need to make it more descriptive. I don&#039;t know what most of the finance features are so it sure would be nice to know what certain things are, what they do and how they would affect your game.

Be nice to have money in trade deals. So you offer a player and money and not just players. Trades should be that way and it sure would be realistic and awesome.</description>

		<description>You can in 07 be the manager and watch the game play. I really hope this stayed in for 08 as I like to use it a lot and it&#039;s very fun.

I find the features mentioned to be awesome. I&#039;m so very extremely glad they kept in SportsConnect to view MLB headlines and news, In Game Live MLB scores. 

There is no mention of ingame save. So is there the ability to save your game while playing and then start where you left off next time you load the game? This to me is most important feature to add. In game save.

One thing. It says not possible on any other platform when it talks about crowd interaction. This isn&#039;t true. MLB2k7 for the 360 has the crowd catching foul balls. However with what Chris mentions about crowd interaction for 08 with vendors etc just rocks! I think this will add to the game and done right, look and be fun.

One thing I really want to be in the 08 game is for the ball to actually hit walls and fasadds and not just go through everything. I am referring to everytime you hit a home run or foul ball it just goes through the crowd, walls etc. It should be like in ESPN Baseball because that&#039;s baseball. If you hit a home run and say yer in Seattle and it bounces off the right field hit it here cafe window and all that, it doesn&#039;t disappear and go through it. 08 needs to have this. 

Keep in old time players etc and let us use them on our team for franchise etc. Let us add to team even during the season/franchise etc. Not just before. So you play and get to unlock old time players, i want to add them even after I&#039;ve started my franchise etc. 

There could be old time stadiums like Ebbets Field, Polo Grounds etc. Also we all would like to use these stadiums as our home team stadium during a franchise etc. So if I&#039;m seattle or Oakland, I can play in the polo grounds or whatever stadiums there are. Also let us assign old time stadiums to AI teams as well. So if I&#039;m controlling Atlanta or whatever, I want to be able to assign say my own old time stadium to myself and then other old time stadiums to other teams. I&#039;d also like to be able to put old time players on other AI controlled teams when setting up the franchise etc in the beginning.

One bug that is funny because it&#039;s so stupid is when the Yankees play the center fielder is always replaced right when the game starts. This is so stupid it&#039;s funny.

I want to argu with umps at my choice, not only when the AI decides to argu. It&#039;d be nice to have both as a choice, me choose to argue and the AI can initiate this. 

Mound visits where the catcher tells you if the guy is tired, has or does not have his stuff today etc. This would be nice instead of having them all just stand around. Also it&#039;d be neat to have the home plate ump come out to the mound when enough time has passed. 

Auto warm relief pitchers is needed to so we don&#039;t have to warm them up. I want the ability to choose if I want them warm already or if I want to warm them up.

I hope you guys will k</description>
