    Same here. Though sometimes during the season I will get bored with baseball, but that doesn't last long.
    Lifelong Bengals and Buckeyes fan...yeah...

      Psychic, or insider info?

          This isn't the first time this has happened.

          And if my experience holds out, expect problems with retailers (specifically GameStop) getting 2K5 on the right date. Hopefully, they've ironed it out ....

                  No, that's the ship date. The in-store date would be 1 day later. If that retailer puts their games out the day they are received. Stores like Best Buy normally only receive their games on say a Thursday. But, regardless, it won't be that long.
                  Note to Tiburon Marketing:

                  A great product sells itself, no "back of the box" features required! (See Fifa...)

                      Actually I checked Gametop's site today and it said it was shipping today. Said "Available, usually ships in 24 hours" and they only put that there on the day the game ships out. I expect 2k5 to be in stores Tuesday.

                              a lot of people may not be ready for a baseball game in february anyways. march 1 was a pretty early release date. i am still playing my basketball games.

                              You ever think that MLB 2k5 was secretly being released early??? ...EA got wind of it through the cooporate gossip line, and boom, they move their date up to match MLB 2k5's!!! They are plotin'! Muwhahahhahaahaha!!
