Holy Goodness. God please let the supreme court overturn the nfl license so that we can have this in nfl2k11. besides that this is great. i have always been a big fan of 2k and now that VC have the baseball game to, its lights out for the competition. only this time sony cant buy the mlb license cause 2k have it.

I couldn't agree more.

this is awesome news i cant wait to get my mariners franchise going especially with the addition of junior back on the team! now all this game needs is a superstar mode or a road to the show mode and its complete

o snap HR Derby during all star break... dream come true

i was thinking i was gonna hav to buy the show again for ps2 if kush came out wit another half-assed game like 2k7 or disaster like 2k8 but vc is solid at pretty much ev game they make so im deff gettin this soon.

one thing id like to kno however is if theres salary arbitration. its not a big deal rlly, but its in the show 09 so...

that was in 2k7 for ps2 lol it was bad cuz of the hitting controls and the ball didnt fly anywhere past 420 ft, but yeah that was in 2k7

In game saves were in last year, and again...

When you save a game and re-load it later your stats etc do not count towards your VIP or any achievement you might've been on the verge of unlocking.

If someone could confirm otherwise for 2K9 then great, but this is the way it was last year and I would suspect it to be the same.

So stoked for this game...really hope it lives up to the hype because I was so disappointed last year.

Again the greatest one year leap in video gaming history IMO.

Hope you're right. Thus far, in my gaming history, that distinction belongs to College Hoops 2k4 on the X-Box, which was leaps and bounds better than 2k3 and proved to be the turning point in that great franchise.
If this can match that, then I'm all wood.

Great read, I hope it all pans out being a franchise guy myself. I didn't see any mention of injuries during non user played games or the cpu stealling bases mentioned though. I'd also like to hope the AI when batting doesn't swing at everything in the strike zone hittable or not as we've seen in the various media now.

Good stuff on the whole. It certainly sounds like MLB2k9 will be making major strides this year to right the series.

This is going to be an awesome game dude.

All wood? LOL, did you mean that? I think this will be the turning point in the 2k baseball series. Those are gameplay videos we are watching so I am very confident in my statement. Can't wait.

Realm, let's also hope that there are no game killing franchise bugs. That would be a disaster, like the free agent signing bug in 2k hockey. That would be massive but the option to control all of the teams remedies that, although not everyone likes to do that.

Hey RealmK,

If you look at the video in this post, http://www.operationsports.com/forum...lkthrough.html

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Developer Diary: Franchise

this dam game! this franchise read was very impressive. I have a guy at work wanting to buy my ps3. I only have it for the show. But if 2k9 is as good as its shaping up to be i may just sell the ps3 and stick with 2k9

there are alot of great things i seeing out of this game. But then again there is alot of uncertainty in the game too
