    Not true. When you offer a contest for money an auditor will oversee it.

    This sounds good. I actually threw a perfect game with Oliver Perez (I know right) last year against the Yankees.

      Man, this really wants to make me get the game. I'm out of school right now, and don't have a job, what better to do than sit on my butt all day and try and win a million dollars. I don't need to sleep either, I'd be pretty determined to get this. Too bad I'd probably get my *** handed to me by the computer, and I don't have anything to record it with, oh well.

          You will have to use a terrible team with a terrible pitcher and play against the Yankees or Red Sox is my guess.

            The OS threads for this will be rich with irony. After years of complaining about aggressive CPU hitters not working the count and human controlled pitchers with pin-point control despite fatigue, now we will read countless threads about perfect games lost on a 9th inning walk. Just imagine and get ready for the "it is too hard to hit your spots" and "the CPU takes too many pitches, making my #5 starter work to just get through 5 innings" comments.

              The video taping requirement seems odd to me. Being that there is an option in the game for this contest something could have been captured or sent.

                I was thinking the same. Seems weird to do something like this, but "oh yeah, you have to tape it for us..".

                  This is a rare smart marketing idea from 2K.

                  I imagine there will be people buying/renting this game just because of this contest.

                  Watch the winner be a friend of a 2K employee............

                    as soon as I read this at Pastapade I said wow, what Lame way to get gamers to run out and get your game.

                    Just make it a great game experience and you will have buyers, that's all.

                      Yeah, but I'm sure they've lost trust from their fans over the years and need something to get them to give them another chance and buy their game. If the game had been solid over the past few years with a growing support base, I doubt we'd see this.

                          That's was my point. What a lame was to have people buy the game. To me that doesn't seem like they are wanting you to buy the game because it's much improved, just to get you to wanna try a win a Mil.

                            I can understand their thought process, then again, I can't. I understand the idea of not wanting someone to "gain an advantage" by having the game early, but lets face it. No matter how good you are, to throw a perfect game, there is quite a bit of luck that is tossed in there.
                            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                                Pointless...you just know somebody's going to break street on it anyway.

                                Interesting marketing strategy with this whole thing. If it's a true all-star difficulty setting and they get all the other settings locked down this is not going to be an easy thing for anyone to pull off. And they wouldn't be offering a million dollars if they weren't prepared for every possible exploit.

                                That said, I would think modded consoles could still pose a threat to the legitimacy of this contest.
