From Jon Robinson's interview with EA Sports' Andrew Wilson, we found out today that EA Sports is not currently working on nor negotiating a deal with major league baseball:

Quote:
"The 2K Sports third-party exclusive with MLB recently expired. Are there current negotiations taking place between EA Sports and Major League Baseball?

No, we’re not. Do I like baseball? Absolutely, I’m a huge baseball fan. But right now, we’re focusing on the franchises we’ve got. We’re focused on doing the UFC, and making it big and global. Is there an opportunity for us to do something with baseball one day? I hope so. But are we doing anything with baseball today? It’s just not something we’re working on right now."

This obviously has major implications because if that is true, and if no one else is stepping up, there will not be a new baseball game for XBox 360 owners next year. The good news is that Wilson seems pretty much is open and ready to do baseball again, but it's likely it'll be for 2014 and not 2013.

XBox 360 owners and baseballs fans: what are your plans with what looks to be a baseball-less 2013 on the horizon?

It's really not. It's called a trend. Again, think before you post.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with MVP. Currently, between the sliders, cam views and datafile that I use (and helped construct). It can play a solid sim game of baseball. And that's the point.

Think before YOU post.
There plenty wrong with it starting with the ridiculous hitting and pitching interface.

If you're comparing it to that abortion of a game 2k developed then yes I can see why you would think MVP was better than it really was. I'll never understand the praise that game gets.

The one thing it did well was the fielding interface. Still hasn't been matched by any game today. MVP was the definition of mediocre.

Everyone was already warned by another mod to stay on topic. You couldn't do it so I'm closing it.
