Wow...competition is good for the consumer but I'm skeptical just how much better this game will be than 2k12...I'm a Show guy but nonetheless this is great news...

I'm shocked but I'm not happy about the news, sure it's good to have a choice but I'd like a game on par with the Show, and the 2k series has showed us it's way behind and cannot compete unless the series is rebuilt from scratch. Besides, I wonder how much development time has been spent for this installment, guess it won't be much different from 2k12.

Wouldn't count on it. They've been fairly off for years now. Don't see that changing suddenly (though if they magically do, I won't complain).

Anyway, good news. Hopefully it finds its way onto PC as well.

The glaring issues in 2k12 was the uniform colors and mostly fielding in the outfield. So I really hope they work on those and any other issues, but there are things I love in the 2k series where MLB the SHOW lacks for me. So it's just great too have a choice.

Me too.
What I'm praying for is that they were developing it all along in hopes that they could arrange for a more financially viable agreement with MLB and if they did, they'd release 2K13.

Adfletch1971 hit the nail on the head with things I'd like to see fixed.
If they can upgrade on those issues, I'll be in Heaven.

In the current era of sports video games, "Rebuilding" means a year of bare bones features, and buggy gameplay that takes at least 2 to 3 years to iron out.

I understand there is another baseball game with a devout following, but some of us actually like the 2K game. I would be happy with some incremental improvements, and maybe a pricing stategy similar to what 2K did back in 2004?

Does anyone else feel like March is the worst time to release a baseball game. The weather is getting nicer, girls are wearing less and we're expected to delve into the rigors of a baseball video game?

nope baseball cater's to us working/family oriented men that enjoy taking in a ball game with their son/daughter.
