Typical (insert explative here) 2K. Nobody cares about the cover boys and everyone cares about game info...so logically no game info and more cover boys. Yipee.

These guys need to generate some buzz for their title. Many people have been thouroughly dissappointed the last few years. They need to be showing some actual gameplay or screenshots to generate some interest. It's like the head of marketing for this title is secretly collecting a bigger check from SCEA.............Wow

I just honestly don't know how you go from being the premier baseball video game and turn into this. Like someone else said these videos do not make me want to rush out and buy the game. They have now released two trailers that show NO gameplay footage. What gives 2k.

Rather than sign and pay all those players to promote the game, why didn't they just take that money and put it INTO the development of the game itself? Oh wait I forgot this is 2k where the only sports title that gets the budget and effort it needs is NBA.

Sadly, none of these things 2K is doing will make the game a seller or play better. Let's hope they have some goods things up their sleeves this time out.

Oh, thank the heavens that 2K figured out exactly what fans of the MLB2k franchise want: endorsements by real major leaguers.

Ugh. I'm with y'all. I'm really hoping that this year's game will be good...no, forget that, at this point I'll take acceptable and without game destroying bugs (random fielding errors, sudden loss and catch up in fielding speed, CPU swinging at every strike, wonky baserunning and ball physics, among other things) and screwups in franchise mode (217?, unable to edit players, weird stats).

But it seems to me (and I'm afraid) that if 2k had something that they were really proud of, they'd just be coming out and telling us about it themselves, rather than spending money to have ballplayers come out and try to do it instead. They say they're focusing on the pitching/batting for this year, which is great, cause imo it was only everything else in the game that needed to be fixed, not the pitching/batting. I really hope that the next "news" is actually news about the game and that they've listened to people and fixed all these things. I'm just not holding much hope anymore.

It is a shame that NBA2k is the only game that gets a good budget, cause it is really good (despite the flaws). Could you imagine MLB2k with a MLB Today feature integrated in? I'd buy (as long as the above fixes were in place).

Maybe there'll be a PS3 sale sometime in the next 2 months...

This really scares me almost like they are trying to justify this game by saying all these pros helped or give their stamp of approval .
Just show the game guys all the improvements .

If they were going to use all these players in marketing, they should've gone with regional covers. Casual fan in Washington is more likely to look at the display case and go "FELIX! I want that one" instead of just buying The Show like hardcore fans do.

This really insults one's intelligence. They think by having this ridiculous panel promote the game they can fool people into thinking it's the real deal. In other words, they think we're chumps who can't figure out the difference between style and substance.

What a freaking embarrassment this series has become.

How a company that makes such good basketball games can roll out this rubbish on an annual basis is beyond me.

I don't know how much they paid these guys, but they could have taken 5 or 6 guys from the 2k forums, had them visit their studio for a few days and find out what really is needed for the game. I really don't think these pro sports stars are as rabid gamers as some of the guys here and the guys here could have meant a heck of a lot more to the game than this advertisement.

More and more, I'm convinced that 2K's baseball game is lorded over by it's marketing department. People who have little to no interest in baseball, and probably have never played their own game are in charge of deciding the direction it takes every year. It must be frustrating to be a developer on this game.

[elgreazy1]

Seems like a useless tactic. Instead of throwing money at the game development to improve it they simply squander it on players who will probably not have any input. I understand 2K is trying to generate buzz for their products since they're normally abysmal at it but unlike NBA2K, this isn't a good game.

After being disappointed with 2k9 (my first 2k baseball) game, I'm going back to either MVP or High Heat on the PC.

Seriously... They could've hired more programmers, mo-cappers, or anything to improve the development. Instead they just made some baseball players richer...

2K had their last chance IMO. They should of just stuck with the three year plan they had in place when Brinkman took over 2K7 and maybe this game would be half decent by now but instead after the first year they totally went away with what they had in 2K7, instead of adding to it and building they just seemed to try and start over and went backwards.

ehhhh wont get me again,the show is all I need.

I wish I could afford a PS3 for the Show because I don't think even an "expert" panel can save this game.

Man, I LOVE having a PS3.

Guys,

Posts like this won't be tolerated in this forum. You want to troll, do it elsewhere.

There are individuals who are genuinely interested in this game and I'm sure they don't appreciate having to read this when they're trying to find information about 2k's baseball game.
