lol im glad to see already two detailed posts against this reply.
Brinkman was never a savior IMO, Im not out to say hes the worst person alive, hes just not smart when it comes to dealing with media,
he saved a game (2k6) then tanked it in 08, he was apparently the "captain" on the 2k team and he failed, thing is, he thought he was good and all these things were awesome for 2k8 and that he was on top of the world like nothing could stop 2k baseball and hyped up the game BIG time, and xboxers especially were left scratching there heads and playing MVP instead (which he was only part of a TEAM effort then)
I wish no harm upon Ben Brinkman I just thank god his lisp and his butt is gone from 2k.
Even if 2k9 flops even harder, it wasnt exactly going anywhere with Ben either soo..
