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
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
@fauxbravo: Oh, agreed, but I mean, that top picture is one of the most awkward, misplaced cover images I've seen. With sports titles, you need the action shot. The game isn't about the player; it's about the sport. #mlb2k10
@bangbangblah: I would love to play that, and always gush over the screenshots when it comes out, but I only have a 360. If somehow they could secure the rights and get it ported to the rest of the systems I would definitely get it, but that seems unlikely. #mlb2k10
@Tom Servo: If you had given up on buying MLB 2k for the past five years and used that money to pay for a PS3 instead, you could have it right now. ; )
Or you could just hit up TV's Frank for one . . .
I doubt you'll get it ported, though, since it's a Sony product. If you have a PS2, you could check out last year's version. Sure, the graphics aren't quite the same, but even the PS2 version is better than the current 2K games, in my opinion. #mlb2k10
@Michael Dukakis: Yeah, thank god it's not just Jeter. Nice to have some love for the smaller teams.
It would have been cool to see Zach Greinke on the cover. I'm not even a Royals fan, I just think he's an amazingly under-appreciated player because of his market. #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 :)
@Str8_Jihadin: It's very hard for them to track it down (cant?) if you print screen the stuff on the survey, especially if the survey has several participants. #mlb2k10
@Str8_Jihadin: They ask you to agree not to spread any information before they give you the samples. So our heroic leaker is, at minimum, a liar and a fink. #mlb2k10
Everyone, I want to take this opportunity to discuss important matters with you. I have made keen observations but in no way can I disclose such information to you guys. #mlb2k10
@Str8_Jihadin: They're looking for free marketing research (unless tipster is paid, which I doubt it), and in so far as that's the case, they can't expect there to be too much dedication to this. #mlb2k10
@Brazell: I need about 300 more points to get paid $50 so... :)
Btw, if you copy and paste my text in the above comment starting with "Good evening..." into the reply box, you will see that I left a hidden message ala Schwarzenegger style. #mlb2k10
You know what's the best thing? We were friendly before she graduated; she was my Field Production TA (Ithaca College). She went off to LA, and we didn't chat often after that. One day a friend tweeted that they wanted to have a sex scandal after they graduated IC, and I read an article that mentioned Brooke but didn't have a picture. It didn't mean anything until I saw the picture, and then I lost my shit laughing, intensified because for once, I knew who the chick was.
On topic? That sucks for 2K, I guess? But banging sub-attractive college graduates doesn't affect your ability to generate color commentary (at least as far as I know) and I don't think 2K should worry about it. I'm pretty sure people won't skip the game just because it has "That Steve guy who banged the NY Post's 'tubby temptress.'"
So... hummm... he may be orange, but I guess he's not bad looking by most women's standards. Which leads me to this thought...
"Why oh why is it that EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I see someone messing up their lives for a sex scandal, it's always with the fugliest people they could find..."
@SinCartier: I will 100% agree with this. For some reason that's the rule, and I have no farking clue why you would do something with someone who looked like that. The Post calling her the "tubby temptress" was downright hilarious though. #2ksports
@ChickenPawks: The third paragraph of the letter she left at their house is not only creepy as fuck, it's downright condescending. Something got into her, and I mean something besides Steve's cock. #2ksports
His inability to tell the difference between "promising young person you'll be heralded as a visionary for seeing the potential in" and "an embarrassingly bad decision you'll be ashamed to be associated with" extends far beyond the baseball diamond, I see. #2ksports

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