'Jeter finds himself in the odd predicament of playing one-on-one baseball dressed like Scuba Steve for a motion capture session for Major League Baseball 2K6, a video game that will be released in March featuring Jeter on its cover. "I wish I actually played video games more than I do," Jeter says. "I'm getting better at it, but I'm no where near where I want to be."

Being a video game novice myself, I wasn't about to challenge Jeter to a battle, especially after being schooled in MLB 2K5, also featuring Jeter on the cover, by my 15-year-old brother, Arman, last week. "Tell Jeter he sucks at getting grounders in his own video game," Arman tells me before I leave to meet Jeter. "I actually get that a lot from fans," Jeter says in response. "We're working on that this year though."

After Jeter finishes the motion capture session, which designers hope will make MLB 2K6 look as realistic as NBA 2K6 does when played on XBOX 360 in high definition, he changes out of the tight costume and into a more comfortable shirt and jeans ensemble, grabs a bottle of water and makes his way into a room filled with reporters. While fans might marvel at the way Jeter can turn a double play, put runners in scoring position or dive into the stands to catch a foul ball, watching Jeter work a room of reporters is almost as impressive. "He's a pro," said one assistant. "He's probably the best there is at dealing [with the press]"............(at the end of the article).........As he wrapped up his final interviews, describing some of the features of MLB 2K6, which allows players to essentially become Jeter for an entire 162-game season, I asked him who'd he'd want to be for an entire season or just a day. "I'm pretty content being me," Jeter said. "Yeah, I would be too if I were you," I said. "But humor me for a second."'

What Do you guy take by that last comment about becoming Jeter for a Season?

I'm not sure if that means that you get to individually control him and only him, or if it just means controlling the Yankees (and him on the team).

Of course, it may be the first thing, because if he's describing features, and if that's one of them...


Doubtful, though. Besides, it wouldn't quite be my cup of tea. Maybe a few others, though.

I was thinking more of controlling one specific person throughout a season not necessarily Jeter, maybe its wishful thinking but this might be a clue to a mode where you control one player and one player. Hopefully a created player and have him drafted, but I doubt it.

IMO it's very doubtful. I think they were just referring to season/franchise mode.

I believe what you are talking about or someting like it, is in MLB 06 The Show

Re: Muff ATTENTION:Have I found New Info on 2K6, You tell me?

Exactly, but like I said before I think its just wishful thinking,

Re: Muff ATTENTION:Have I found New Info on 2K6, You tell me?

And like I said before... wishful thinking or not, I'm not sure how much appraisal this mode would get if it were true. I mean, would you be playing as a single player in a 3rd person perspective the whole time? In the field, dugout, etc.? Or, would you just control that one player, and then watch the rest of the game as if it were a CPU vs CPU game? Either way, they would be very strange.

Re: Muff ATTENTION:Have I found New Info on 2K6, You tell me?

Well I would think it would be similar like it is in MLB:06 The Show. You would create a player in the minors and just control him only, if your a defensive player then you have to watch the opposition but you could fast forward to your at Bats or if your a pitcher you could fast forward everything until your called on. Thats how its is in MLB:06 I think it would be fun, especially working on your game and really trying to make the majors and once you do, you have to go through the whole call up and sent down and being traded-free agency would be cool getting offers and making counter-offers. How could you not want to have this mode especially if your able to skip every part of the game except the part of which you play in. What do you think Muff?

Personally, I don't think it means controlling one player. I think that phrase was used in a generic sense.

Agreed, if they were adding something major like this, we would have seen it on the features list at the very least.

Quite funny you say that, actually. I don't doubt that this might be a hidden feature to tell you the truth (Inside Edge is not a listed feature, either). Remember when ESPN NFL Football presented First Person Football and The Crib really late into production?

That's what I loved about ESPN Videogames at that time... we're not shown absolutely everything beforehand, and we're still given a few surprises when we get the game (or closer to the release, at least).
