That's was my point. What a lame was to have people buy the game. To me that doesn't seem like they are wanting you to buy the game because it's much improved, just to get you to wanna try a win a Mil.

I can understand their thought process, then again, I can't. I understand the idea of not wanting someone to "gain an advantage" by having the game early, but lets face it. No matter how good you are, to throw a perfect game, there is quite a bit of luck that is tossed in there.

Pointless...you just know somebody's going to break street on it anyway.

Interesting marketing strategy with this whole thing. If it's a true all-star difficulty setting and they get all the other settings locked down this is not going to be an easy thing for anyone to pull off. And they wouldn't be offering a million dollars if they weren't prepared for every possible exploit.

That said, I would think modded consoles could still pose a threat to the legitimacy of this contest.

Yeah, this thing really worries me how easy it will be for people that know how to abuse this kind of thing.

I'll give away my process now, though. First of all, if I were to buy it, I'd try to get the game early. That way I can figure out how to really play the game, tweak my settings to the best of my ability, find the best pitcher combined with a decent defense and the worst hitting team, etc. Then I'd make sure to enable Hurry Up play (if possible in MLB Today mode), because I'm not going to waste time trying to get $1 million, sorry lol.

Finally, I'd go for one run on offense, and afterward I'd just bunt or get picked off the rest of the game. Hey, the point of this is the pitching aspect, why would I be going for more offensive stuff and wasting my time while I'm all about trying to get a perfect game on defense? A waste of time for any of us.

And of course, if my perfect game is broken up, I would start over. So obviously this is all kind of unrealistic to baseball itself, but in no way is this cheating. All of this is just trying to maximize my chances within the game's capabilities, and should be perfectly acceptable as per the rules provided.

Just a warning for anyone possibly considering getting this game just because of this chance, there are some states that it's not possible in.

Of course people will, but since they send me free games.


Say i throw a perfect game and win the million bucks.then what?do you know how bad it would be for them if i was the one to do it. Ooh he's a moderator and he knows people at 2K. he got the game early so he had the advantage.

If someone gets it early and wins the million and the game didnt come directly from 2K sports but through a retailer, they take 0 heat on it.
