World Series Baseball 2k1: WOW Entertainment
World Series Baseball 2k2 (Dreamcast) World Series Baseball (Xbox): Blue Shift/Exile Interactive
World Series Baseball 2k3: Blue Shift/Exile Interactive
ESPN Baseball: Blue Shift
Major League Baseball 2k5-8: Kush Games

The reality is this series flourished under Blue Shift & YES WSB 2K3 is considered by many to be the BEST Console Baseball Game to grace a console. The Game Play was top notch. The only other game I can think of that had WSB beat in the Game Play dept @ that time was HH, but HH was 1 fugly looking game compared to WSB.

Til this day no Baseball Game has been able to capture the Game Play aspect of Baseball better than the 2 titles I mentioned above. For many of us who are not only fans of the series but fans of baseball that Game Play is what we want. The addition of any thing else is just icing on the cake.

1 thing that us as fans of the series can be optimistic about is VC knows Game Play. For me it's gonna be interesting to see how much they will be able to improve the title. Yeah I know supposedly that should be easy because for many 2k8 was GARBAGE, but IMO 2k8 was far from Garbage, Yes it wasn't what many of us expected, especially in year 3 of Next-Gen but played a decent game of Baseball.
Yup, WSB2K3 was awesome. Even Newsweek magazine had a positive article on it I remember. High Heat Baseball had awesome gameplay as well, but it was horrible looking like you said and didn't even look like an MLB game. No accurate batting stances or other player attributes.

What did happen to Blue Shift then?

It's my understanding that Kush was owned by VC and when VC closed it down they integrated the parts and people they wanted into their own team. With that being the case VC can use the same engines Kush was using because they developed them and gave them to Kush to build the game on.

Yeah Bro, get those pics up if you can....would love to see them. I still play the hell out of 05( your datafile compliments it nicely). Even though I have a PS3 and will have the "Show" day 1 ( if not earlier), I am hoping for a strong effort from 2k.
