Personal Speculation on WWE (2K)14:
Posted on February 16, 2013 at 11:04 AM.
Now that we found out that Yuke's plans to return to helm this coming year's WWE title, what do you think may happen? Here are my ideas:

WCW/Monday Night Wars story mode
This may be a good point of continuation for this series, as you can bring in a few more Attitude Era related matches and wrestlers WHILE focusing more on the WCW end of the Monday Night Wars. Wouldn't it be awesome to play as the original nWo? Win the WCW World Heavyweight Title with Luger in early 97 and ... Read More

Am I a Fan of Mediocrity?
Posted on September 4, 2009 at 05:37 PM.
The Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo Sabres. The Toronto Maple Leafs, Blue Jays, Raptors and Toronto FC. The NHL 2K series. For years I've been putting hard-earned cash and faith into all of the above. But for the same amount of time, I've been let down and disappointed.

Am I a Fan of Mediocrity?

We all know it's much harder to love a team (or video game in the case of NHL 2K) when they don't do all the things the fanbase expects them to. But after living in Buffalo for most ... Read More

Samoa Joe Slams MLB 2K9! (no pun intended)
Posted on May 26, 2009 at 08:21 PM.
Saw this little tidbit in an interview with Joe concerning the possibility of a TNA Impact 2 video game:

Quote:
ESPN: You still playing a lot of Xbox Live?

Samoa Joe: Oh yeah, we had a big session of "Left 4 Dead" last night. I'm just pissed that "MLB The Show" isn't on 360 because all my friends only have the 360 but "MLB 2K" is sorry.
This game may have just received its most famous critic. 2K has a lot of work to do next year...

Does "2K Care About Us"?
Posted on April 8, 2009 at 12:06 AM.
Here's a quote from a poster (whose name has been withheld) at OS who has been fairly upset over the state of 2K Baseball on the next-gen systems. In the middle of his tirade, he states:

Quote:
2K doesn't care about us. They never have and they never will.
Let's break this down.

Never have? Remember ESPN NFL 2K5, where the developers (much like like what we see with Ian and Kolbe) came on the forums, interacted with users and credited "the generous people ... Read More

I found this link on gaming blog Kotaku and was pretty intrigued. This information apparently comes from Metacritic ratings over the years. I wonder if the relatively low scores for MLB 2K9 are averaged in...
