For all we know, MLB had 2K produce another game last year while they worked on RBI. The vid of Soriano makes a good case that they've been working on this for a year already. Maybe more.

Man, I hope you're right. I would love to see a new sim mlb game.

Being a visually impaired player, my biggest thing is always how the game sounds. If it has great announcers, I'll get it as an option to give the show a break on ps4. Of course as a Yanks fan, I'd love John Sterling!! Who knows, maybe it could be him, mlb AM is located in NY, maybe they'll use local announcers. The mets tv announcer is awesome too.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone admit to loving John Sterling lol.

hahahaha! Yes, I might be one of the few who thinks he's great. I use mlb.tv, and you can atch games with sinced radio instead of tv audio. If you want a good laugh, check out my phone call to xm radios mlb channel I made last year! http://yourlisten.com/manuel.aguero.39/me-live-on-xm-mlb Let me know what you think of my impression of Sterling!

i feel like this is going to be an arcade baseball game. The developers are from the MLB team and this is the first game created by the company. So I'm not expecting anything big here now.

So is Madden but it's still tweakable to be more realistic if not "perfectly sim".

As long as there's sliders, there's possible potential to make it any kind of game you want - just like you could turn The Show into a modern Baseball Stars with 3D graphics if you wanted.

Maybe MLBam just bought the game engine from 2ksports. 2k didn't want to spend the money on baseball licensing, so MLB probably offered to buy them out. The 2k** name is kind of a 2ksports trademark so they went with another name. The timing for 2k ending their series and the announcement of RBI Baseball '14 really makes this seem possible. May just be coincidence but Take 2 is publishing it, too.

I don't see this being an arcade style game.
They aren't going to let MLB THE SHOW walk away with that market.
