MLB 08: The Show glitch?

High Heat 2003 for me. Greatest baseball game ever made.

 

MVP 2005, in my opinion.

 

The best part about it was the home-run contests with the 500-HR club members.

Putting Aaron vs. Mays in the medieval castle, living room or construction site STILL brings a smile to my face.

 

Hell yes.

And in Triple Play 2001, I hit an 800-foot homer with Sosa in the HR Derby on the field that's in space or whatever. Once hit a 700-footer on the field that's inside a house.

 

I hit mine at Coors Field. It went over the center-field stands.

 

The outer-space field was fun for like, an inning. It got old real quick when every ball you hit went like, eight miles.

Same with the beach field, too, except the opposite -- everything you hit just died in the sand.

Satchel Paige is the best video-game pitcher ever, too. On that game he'd throw a 109-mph fastball, then follow that up with a 47-mph change. Unhittable.

 

I will see your Satchel Paige and counter with Zach Grienke in MVP 2005. Only he could come with a 94-mph fastball and hit you with a 59-mph curveball that breaks three feet.

 

Sorry, Rumple.

I'll see your Greinke and raise you Cy Young.

 

Sorry, Norm.

I'll see your Cy Young and raise you the set-up man from the Dodgers. I forget his name back then, but he threw a 48-mph change-up that was not even hittable. You could follow it up with a 96-mph fastball.

 

OK, you win :

 

Yeah. Playing with the "Hitter's Eye" off was impossible. But that was a big thing in MVP 2005. Being able to see what pitch was being thrown before it left the pitcher's hand.

 

Ummmmm...Dunno. I guess MLB 08: The Show isn't an EA Sports production, so it doesn't have to be in the game in order to be in the game. Maybe Sheets going 8 healthy innings caused the glitch? Like the PS2 had created some kind of a too-perfect Matrix and figured I wouldn't accpet it as reality so it pro-actively decided to rectify the situation and erase all record of its existance (I suppose the pun here is Exitenz). Friggin platforms get more bells and whistles every year.
