    Something Nifty I Found Playing Yesterday

    For a quick baseball fix, I popped in 2K9 to play a couple of games in my franchise. While playing as the Braves against the Nationals, one of my players hit a HR to right field and I noticed a billboard ad out in right field. It was an ad for the American Red Cross and said, "Text 'HAITI' to 995999 [can't remember the actual number] to donate $10."

    I thought that was pretty nifty.

    Yeah, I remember hearing either in 2K9 or earlier when they were going to start putting real life billboards in their stadiums during online play. I always thought it would help refresh the game's look a little bit.

    I'm glad something like that is in there. Did you do it?

      LOL! Not yesterday, but a few weeks ago I gave elsewhere.

      Just thought that was pretty cool.

        Yeah they've been putting in many live ads in video games now. I'm pretty sure I saw live ads in MLB 2k8 as well. It does make the game look a lot better. The only game I've seen where it hasn't worked is madden because they put it on the score overlay and it blocks like half of the screen and never leaves.

          Yea I have Nba 2k10 and when the scorer's table rotates it shows the text hati things as well. And if you play with the lakers then kobe has his own lil advertisment thing on the scorer's table too. He's wearing like a black hoody and I can't remember what the word's say but it was pretty cool to notice.

            Yeah a lot of games have been doing that. i don't mind it as long as it doesn't distract from what i am doing.
