    Anyone else happy that Take2 has the MLB rights for the future?

    MLB 2k5 is the best baseball game i've ever played..im 30 years old and played them all including this years new MVP and nothing compares to the improvment 2k has recieved this year regardless of its few flaws,etc but again..what game is perfect? I have yet to see a perfect game. Its fun and feels fresh, controls great, looks awesome and feels like baseball...i think this is why i love 2k sports games over EAsports games, Every year even if its using the same engine ..the game just feels "new & fresh" every year and worthy of its purchase.

    Im so damn glad atleast we have 2k sports hang'n on to the MLB rights for the next years ahead of us instead of EA having them. I got the new MVP as well and guess what..its just more of the same from last year with some minor added additions and tweaks..cough cough Madden syndrome is what i call it.

    Im glad EAsports didnt get the MLB rights..its sad they did get the NFL rights as that was 2k's bread and butter and IS better then Madden but owell..we atleast have 2k making MLB for the future.

        I am happy they did, however I think Take2 and EA need to make up and share the license agreement so Take2 can do football and EA do baseball. Yeah, like that's gonna happen!

            Nope. While I don't blame 2K Games or EA for acquiring them, here's how it works:

            1) Exclusive licenses eliminate competition.
            2) Eliminating competition is bad for consumers.

            ECON 101.

            It's just that simple.

                    I like this years version and think the series now has a lot of potential, so I am glad that they will be making one next year. I'll miss Jon Miller and Joe Morgan, but maybe if they got the guys who did the football game to do the baseball; they are pretty good.. and you can't coach that!

                    That being said, I like EA's game this year a lot too, and have been playing them both. It's a shame, but all this exclusive crap is killing off some very nice games. As usual, it's the consumer that suffers.

                        Not one bit, especially with Kush in charge. Promising games with crippling bugs is their M.O.

                            I'm not happy at all. It's not just because I love MVP, but it because we are losing choices on what games we can buy.
