Don't expect the game to be at the level 2k11 is at although it should be by now. MLB has gone through so many developers through the year where as NBA has been with the same developers and were able to build on the game every year. It's going to take some time for MLB to get at the level both game play wise and graphically that NBA is at.

2k10 was a really good game. a big improvement from years past. dont change too much only improve more if they make more changes this will come close to the show.

Exactly. The amount of stats tracked, ratings, tendencies and general information breakdown is actually one of the strong points for 2K...no need to dumb that down. Just clean it up and make the ratings they have work better and interact with each other more fluidly.

It would be a theme(pattern) if they threw Nolan Ryan on there or Cy Young (ala Jordan on NBA).

Lincecum was on the cover 2 years ago..

I'm a little more confident knowing the NBA team is working on MLB series, this gives me great hope. If they can put the effort into the game like they did to NBA 2k, it will be great.

2 Years ago, my bad.

It can also be a double edges sword. Basketball and baseball are two different games.

Yes, this is a good point. A team could do a great job with one sport but struggle with another. EA Sports just went through something similar. I'd hate to see VC go through the same.

[EnigmaNemesis]

Agreed. Competition is a great thing. Especially for us gamers.

VC has already done a lot for this series in a short time. Seems pretty likely that will continue.
