It certainly sounds like MLB2k9 will be making major strides this year to right the series.

Realm, let's also hope that there are no game killing franchise bugs. That would be a disaster, like the free agent signing bug in 2k hockey. That would be massive but the option to control all of the teams remedies that, although not everyone likes to do that.

Hey RealmK,

this dam game! this franchise read was very impressive. I have a guy at work wanting to buy my ps3. I only have it for the show. But if 2k9 is as good as its shaping up to be i may just sell the ps3 and stick with 2k9

there are alot of great things i seeing out of this game. But then again there is alot of uncertainty in the game too

Was just about to ask that! Also, whats the deal with the draft? 50 rounds?

I really like the player ambitions part. In 2K8 it oftentimes felt like you could sign any player as long as you had the money. It will be a lot more fun to have off seasons that don't feel like one big auction.
