    ESPN, Take Two and EA...

    This may be a stupid question but does EA's ESPN deal mean no EA overlays for 2K6 (baseball)? If so, this deal is just getting worse and worse. I love how the MLBPA guy said that baseball fans are the "big winners" from exclusive deals...hogwash!

    Do you mean no ESPN overlays for 2K6? You said EA overlays and I was a little confused at first.

    If so, then yep. 2K6 won't have any ESPN overlays. EA has exclusive rights to that - which they can't use for baseball now! Only football, hockey, basketball, Tiger Woods, Racing games etc...

        There are other licenses out there to be had. Personally, I hope Take Two signs a deal with Fox Sports.

            That sucks. This whole thing sucks. I love how they keep trying to say how "competitive" the sports gaming market is. Not anymore. This really, really sucks no matter how you look at it. I'm a huge MVP fan, and hopefully this year's game will take me until the XBOX 2 comes out. As for football, I like Madden over ESPN but I think this year's 2K6 (which will never happen now) would be the game that finally de-throwned Madden as the football leader.

                    I personally think the FOX presentation is more suited to 2k's graphics so I won't complain if that's what happens.

                            Yeah that would be the bad part about it. Maybe they could use Dick Stockton and Steve Lyons instead (I wish)
