    Why no WBC this year

    (I know I posted this in the other forum too...thanks for putting up with me guys.)

    I especially ask this of 2k since u guys had it in 2k6!! Do the developers think that gamers don't care about the WBC or do they think its just not important or was the "development cycle" an issue? I don't understand why they would skip it this year and they need to include it next year as an option to be experienced ev' four years in franchise mode as well as a stand-alone game mode (a la NBA Live world mode). Or they could maybe just patch it in since it was already in before? I don't know, just seems like a glaring game mode omission to me.

    MLB doesn't run it...World Baseball Federation runs it. I would have meant getting a whole new license for it more than likely.

      I don't think most gamers really think it matters that much; the game is Major League Baseball, and the WBC has nothing to do with that league.

      Also, there are so many other things to complain about with this game; I feel like this is similar to complaining that the Preseason NIT isn't playable in a college basketball game when the AI players sink 100% of their shots from the field.

          Trust me, when the WBC is over, you will forget about the WBC and the game mode.

            I held that opinion back in 2006, so I'm not saying your wrong.

            This year I am really into th WBC and captivated by how much pride the players and coaches have in the tournament, and how it really is strongly connected to the MLB. WBC teams are a part of the Spring Training schedule for many MLB teams.

            So I say put the game mode in and let the player decide when and whether they want to forget about the game mode.

            I think its interesting to Play Korea vs. Italy or China vs. Dominican Republic.
