The putrid MLB 2K series really breaks my heart as a baseball lover. (Who only owns a 360.)
Every year for the last 3 years I've spent money on their games only to be dissapointed. (Though the last two years, knowing the "trend" they were on, I bought it used for $30 both times.)
Not since MLB 2K5 have I had a decent ball game to play.
Freezing, DL lists that dont work, ERA not calculated correctly, Players who were demoted and re-promoted loosing their real life avatar appearance. (David Ortiz turned into a chubby white white guy in my franchise, so did any player who went on a DL stint.) (I wish I was making this up!)
And they never fixed any of it!
If you think community communication and patch releases are bad here.... You have'nt seen anything untill you've dealt with 2K forums and their games.
If whoever is on the dev team for the MLB 2K series still has their jobs, I'll loose all faith in humanity.
EDIT: I actually went out and bought a used original Xbox and MVP 2005, for a total of $40 last year after the debacle that was MLB 2k8. And thought maybe just maybe they would get it right with 2K9. But nope.... Still playing MVP '05 with downloaded CAP rosters. Pathetic 2K... seriously.
