Major League Baseball 2K8 is the lasted baseball simulation released by 2K Sports in North America. The title, developed
by Kush Games, is also expected to be released in Australia on the 26th of August 2008. New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes is the cover athlete, replacing Derek Jeter, who had been on the cover for three years in a row.
Gamers who played MLB 2K8 generally criticized it for a somewhat laggy experience, but except for that, they praised the game. All in all, it is still early to say whether the game is a successful one or not - we'll have to wait for the Australian release and watch the fans' reaction over there.
We know that true gamers play all these games just for fun, as they should and not in order to achieve specific point landmarks to prove their friends they are very cool, but we also know that sometimes you just can't live without achieving everything possible with a title you really enjoy. If that's the case and you want to know exactly what to look for, we have prepared a full list of achievements. Good luck!
