Win a Million Dollars, Playing Major League Baseball 2K10

[iamemmittsmith]

Get rich quick, with Major League Baseball 2K10. Check the story from Jon Robinson at ESPN.

"And the rules are simple: 2K Sports is going to give the million bucks to the first person who can throw a perfect game against the CPU on All-Star difficulty starting March 2, 2010 at 12:01 AM PST and ending May 2, 2010 at 11:59 PM PDT. Eligible games can only be played on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in MLB Today mode playing one of the available match-ups. Then, when gamers choose to play the Major League Baseball 2K10 contest from the menu, the game will automatically default to the proper gameplay setting in accordance to the official rules."

It'll be done within an hour of release. Someone will edit the opposing teams stats, sliders, keep it on All-Star and get it. Cool idea, but it should be a pool of everyone who does it for say a month or something.

Kudos to 2K, but this is all about trying to sell the game period, and I don't blame them. They need to market the game the best they can and judging by the new trailer it looks good.

I highly doubt it will be that easy when $1 mil is involved. They will be monitoring it on lockdown.

Some funny marketing though.

Wouldn't the fact that it must be played via the MLB Today feature eliminate this possibility?

Granted I don't know the ins and outs of the MLB Today feature, so it could very well be possible to manipulate the system.

You could still alter sliders at least. Not sure if rosters can be.

I'm still betting anything it's accomplished the first day.

EDIT - nevermind, just read that it's in the menu and defaults to special settings for it. My bad (reading usually helps. LOL).

Still it's done first day.

The contest is only for one day. And it is chosen on a contest screen, so you may have to play with what is given, it says everything resets if you try and alter.

So who knows... they obviously know something about their game, where it isn't as easy as you would think, to just hand away $1 mil. (Even if it is sponsored money)

Its going to be entertaining reading some of the threads that will be posted here by fellow OS'ers as they partake in this quest.

LOL, it's almost like I read a completely different article.

I swore it said March 2nd through April 2nd the first time I read it.

Oh well, I'll walk away slowly from this thread as I obviously know nothing of what I'm talking about. LMAO

Carry on..LOL
