EA IMO would be silly not to atleast look at releasing a title on the 360. 2K and their license has to be running out and there would then be a void on the Xbox in the next generation. Baseball doesn't move the needle like football perse, but there is money to be made there with a good title on the Xbox and the competition would only bring out the best of the PS4.
good move from EA that would be welcomed by the masses is an NCAA basketball game and return of Triple Play (always thought it was a better name than MVP) NBA 2K has a choke hold on the market so strong now it would take another license buyout to top it. and the MLB 2K series has been the same since Kush Games disbanded and this was reportedly the last MLB 2k installment. leaving the xbox market open for a much needed MLB game. not everyone can get a PS3 and play The Show
With no word of Microsoft making there own baseball game I simply have no choice but to switch to the the PS4 when the new systems come out. I am not going through the 2K headache again for 6 plus years. Love 2K12 baseball. 2K13 looks like a minor update. There is simply no reason to stay loyal to a console since they don't appear to going the backwards compatiblity route.
I think they would have far better luck trying to bring back MVP than NBA, which has oviously lost it's direction. The only negative is if MVP was even close to its former glory, it would surely mean the death of MLB 2K.
Personally I can't stand EA and I hope they stay far away from baseball...and everything else for that matter.
