30 team user control in ps2?

[bw3guy29]

Will this option be available for the ps2 this year?

[bw3guy29]

Anybody? I'd like to pre-order, so any help would be great!

Hey, bw,
I'm a PS2 guy, too and will probably get both baseball games this year. But we gotta face reality. We own dead systems and there just isn't much info about the PS2 version. Finding info is pretty tough. Hopefully 2K for PS2 will be solid and give us alot of the options that next/current gen has.

Yeah, my guess is this (along w/ many other upgrades) will not be included again this year for the ps2 version - especially since all the reviews have a (ps3) in parenthesis after the new additions to the game. Oh well, looks like another year of editing my 2k5 to get the rosters as close as possible (pretty much just a roster update year after year for the ps2 anyways). Hard to believe they offered 30 team user control for 2k5, but not since...

Dying yes - dead no. I see more ps2's for sale at my local walmart than ps3's - suppose it has anything to do with the price tag? My point is why make a game year after year if all you are doing is updating the rosters? I understand there are size restrictions involving ps2 games, etc - but they were able to implement this to the verison 5 years ago, so why not today? If you're going to put out a version for ps2, why not make it the very best it can be?

bw,
I agree with your comment. But I understand that from a business standpoint, you want to focus more on the next/current gen than a system that has had its day.
I don't read much other than OS forums about gaming. From what I see here NOBODY plays PS2 anymore. Is the PS2 still a big player?
Back to your original topic, I really hope 2K gives us PS2 guys a pretty good offering. I'm going to try it out and have some hope that it's a little more than a roster update. I'm cautiously optimistic for some reason.

I hope you're right! If you end up getting both games, please let me know if either has the features I'm looking for, as this will determine which one I would buy...Thanks!

Hi, bw,
I've been playing around with 2K8 all weekend. My biggest gripe is that the cpu only gets runs on homers. So I edited my pitchers home run ratings and some hitters HR ratings and I'll see how it goes. The sliders either don't work the way I want or I just haven't figured it out yet. I am looking forward to 2K10. Even if it is a roster update, I'm getting the game to the point where I have a game that plays pretty good and if I need to edit players, that's not a big deal. And it's only 20 bucks, so not a great loss if it is beat. Not trying to promote or bash, but the other game for PS2 is a bit more solid. But it takes me an hour and a half to get through a game and on PS2, there is no in game save. 2K fits my schedule a little better. I only have a few hours a week to play, so I need to be quick and if I can save in game, then it lets me get a few innings in here and there. Not the most "sim" game, but acceptable for my needs without having to spend three hundred dollars on a new system for one or two games.
I plan on picking up the game Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll give a few opinions. Not expecting greatness, but hopefully a decent playable baseball game.
Sarge.
