Wow, I didn't even realize 2k was out of the game...

Kind of makes me thankful my first 6 or 7 360s died, forcing me to jump ship to PS3. If Microsoft hadn't sold me such an unbelievable piece of ****, I may never have been able to experience the greatness that is The Show.

I would like to see baseball for xbox 360 for next year and the next and the etc. I wish they would bring MVP the college game to next gen especially, I enjoyed that on PS2 and would like to have it on Next Gen. Great game. The 2k series is top notch also, I have no complaints against it. Yes I would like college Basketball back also, they should drop the price to about 20 bucks and sell the heck out of it.

They could...absolutely.
..and my prediction is...they will.



They can...they just have to pay the regular licensing fee as ANY company can at this point.
The exclusive only kept third party developers from using the license.
(for instance...it didn't lock out Sony as a first party dev....but SCEA still paid the license fee to the MLB and MLBPA)

Right, I'm not saying they can't get a license, just that they don't have one right now. And seeing as how baseball season is a mere 4 months away, if they don't have one by now, they probably aren't going to acquire one.

I care.......i liked mlb2k12 and was hoping they would continue to move it in the right direction.I know overall mlb the show is the better game but it get's boring really fast and mlb2k12 was just so much more fun to play and the commentary was just outstanding and that helped keep it from being boring unlike mlb the show's commentary which is just the opposite.

They weren't moving in any direction. They were running in place. One year, they had this wrong and that right. The next year they'd have this right and that wrong. I think it's obvious to most people the development team did not put much effort in the MLB 2K series. It seems obligatory to them.

I think it had more to do with constantly changing teams.
VC took over from Kush and considering they had to inherit someone else's code, they did pretty well.

I think if given the chance to build from the ground up, VC could make a baseball game on par with their NBA title.

It's moot now, as this series is dead. I hope another company can come along, but I think for 2013, it's The Show or nothing (for console gamers).

I bought a PS3 recently so I'm set. But it would be nice to have options.

Re: Will Anyone Really Care If There’s No More Baseball on the Xbox 360?

I don't own a 360, and I completely care. This is awful for baseball video gaming.

I also care because I happen to like the 2K series. Granted, I liked it much more before and question their decisions quite often, but I would not prefer for it to be gone.

Are you guys kidding?

With no exclusive license....this is the BEST thing that could happen to 2K and baseball gaming in general.
It opens up the most viable options for any production company.

I think you WILL see a 2K baseball game in the future(and I think '13).

Yes. I'm hoping 2k throws us a bone & @ least gives us a nice PATCH for 2k12.

In the future, maybe. But I don't see how they could possibly have a game out in 2013. We are less than 3 1/2 months away from baseball season, so even if they purchased a license today, how are they going to put a game together in 4 months?

They may have purchased the rights already(obviously not the exclusive)....and I think they have.
Just a gut feeling.
They would actually be silly not to. I doubt the MLB and MLBPA license are that much....and 2K knows it has the 360 sales....so it would actually most likely be their most profitable version to date if they release it with only minor upgrades.

Very true. Just like people believe EA has been working on a baseball game all along and as soon as they get the license will release.

I'm still not convinced 2K will release a game though. They're M.O. isn't great when it comes to this. But I like your optimism.

I'm fairly certain EA was/is not working on a baseball game.
They are a pretty "bottom-line" company and they weren't taking any chances there would once again be an exclusive.

Wouldn't we have heard about it if they did? They surely would have announced something by now.
