HR Record

[daz]

Am I missing this or did 2k leave it out, but in the MLB records there is no HR record. Is 2k making a statement or did they leave it out because Bonds isn't a member of the player's association? Forgive me if this has been covered before.

I noticed this as well.

Re: HR Record

KushGamer said they can't put it in because Bonds holds it and he isn't part of the MLBPA. And they can't put a fake name as the HR record holder because then Sony and Microsoft consider it a bug and they can't certify the game.

Re: HR Record

In last years, i believe it was Sosa who had it by default.

I know they can't include bonds (not a member of the MLBPA), but why couldn't they use McGwire?

Because then it isn't the record. Sony and MS see that as a bug. Just what KG said. Last year Bonds didn't have the record so they didn't have to worry about it.

Exact quote...

Not allowed to use Bonds' name in the game. I suppose the record could have been there with no name. I don't know, but Sony would then always ding us for that in certification that it was a "bug". So I guess the solution this year was to leave it out.

Re: HR Record

that's the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. They couldn't just do what every other sports game has done in the past with players they couldn't name and list him as "LF #25"?
