    To be consistent with the game while making this throw Evan disappeared only to reappear trapped in the crowd with the ball ending up in the outfield as the left and center fielders collide and the ball then bouncing up and hitting the right fielder in the head as the hitter runs home for an inside the park homerun, only to be then stuck in an animation loop running around the plate

    Whenever celebrities or public figures announce that they play some game it's always one of the most mainstream games out there. Always Warcraft, Guitar Hero, Mario Bros., etc. It has the feel of PR and posturing.

    It's kind of nice for someone like Zack to show people that all "gamers" aren't un-athletic. I played soccer and tennis all through high school and college and still give tennis lessons for extra cash when I have the time.

    The red backdrops make me think that they're going to do a CE for 2K10, which would be insane since they've been struggling to make a mediocre baseball for a few years.

    The bigger issue is why these covers say 2K10's the tenth anniversary of the series since it started with World Series Baseball 2k2, which only means that this is the eighth anniversary and ninth entry in the series. #mlb2k10

    I really don't like the red in the cover. I'd prefer one of the two white designs, probably the bottom left choice.

    Of course, I'm probably not going to buy the game anyway, so what does my opinion matter? #mlb2k10

    I'm wondering if people who take these marketing surveys even worry about legal action that might be taken against them if they leak this kind of stuff.

    I've taken some game related marketing surveys and I've seen a glimpse or two of future titles in some franchises but I worry about legal action :)

    I find it funny that people are so offended by this "condoning of hate words" or whatever you call it, when the actual acronym relates to the people fighting AGAINST the grenade spammers, not the grenade spammers themselves. This means that it is simply, in my opinion, Infinity Ward throwing in a humorous acronym a-la-Team America. #nsfw

    This is the silliest arguement Ive heard. "They're not calling these people FAGS, theyre calling THESE people FAGS.". Oooh well thats...NOT different. It doesnt matter who they are calling fags dip. A large scale company selling a major product should not be calling ANYONE a fag. #nsfw

    Anyone lumping all the negative criticism against this viral into one pile should take note of MO's point. Sure the Internet is hyper-sensitive but large companies should already know this and act accordingly.

    Also I doubt that Broken Lizard really wants people to look to Team America as a model for social and corporate behavior. Nice try though Eastwing et al. #nsfw

    @Modus_Operandi: Ok I agree on review of my comment that I am pretty much saying that, which isn't what I meant really.

    I just meant that the "fags" wasn't actually directed at anyone, it was simply being used in a sarcastic manner because of its association with grenade spamming, rather that as a derogatory word.

    That said, if infinity ward themselves have pulled it, I suppose it wasn't that anyway, so I'll retract my first comment completely.

    (And yeah I know, even if it was sarcastic humour, it shouldn't involve words that are offensive with large, influencial companies) #nsfw
