This is very bad news for 360 owners, because that means they can possibly be left with out a baseball title next year if this continues. And you know what? That's bad for baseball overall.

well then most will move to the ps3

Trey Smith is the only guy still around that I know of.

That's true. EA does have have some guy named Kolbe who joined them

They can do that but that's a horrible situation for the MLB to be in. As we know, EA can easily decide not to release a game like they did with NBA and NCAA. Despite the fact that they took a chance with MVP NCAA, I don't see it as easy an opportunity for them when most of the original team is gone or working on other games (FIFA/NHL).

I doubt the MLB would ever give an exclusive to San Diego Studios unless they were multi-platform, which we all know wouldn't happen.

It's just an all around bad situation for MLB and us as gamers. We have no idea what drastic move MLB would do just to keep themselves relevant - we've seen what they've done in the past and I don't think they have learned from that mistake.

Kolbe's on the Madden team in FL. He's not going anywhere soon. The MVP team was in Canada.

Ea could release mvp05 renamed mvp12 and sell more than 2k is going to sell this year.

Though MVP was developed by EA Canada, that team no longer exist. So if EA jumped back in, Kolbe may be the perfect guy to resurrect the franchise.

I'm not a big EA/MVP fan, but I have a lot of respect for Kolbe & what he did when he worked with Sony San Diego

wow i never played it but im watching some gameplay of it on youtube
looks like a good game..maybe some updated graphics and commentary and its perfect

The guys at EA Mods kept that game alive for years, and did a magnificent job... But playing that game on the old xbox got stale over time...

I really enjoyed 2K11. As someone who doesn't own a PS3, nor will I, 2K11 is the only option I had. And it was a good game.....

I guess I get frustrated when I visit this arm of OS and find comparisons made to The Show or MVP Baseball. Since those are not options for 360 only owners, I'm not sure how those comments are helpful or necessary. I'm sure I'll get some barbs thrown my way for saying this, but let me clarify:

I NEVER visit the "other" baseball forum. I have no need or reason to....

There's a double standard here at OS for sure. But I worked in a political environment for twenty years, and I understand that's just the way the world operates.
