Ronnie 2K is tweeting about new mo-cap for NBA 2K14 and we are getting nothing but the cold shoulder on their MLB game. They have done nothing but reinforce the impression this is just a roster update.

That tweet really frustrated me. He's posted more updates on NBA2K14, which is 7 months away, than MLB which is 2 weeks away.

Even as a 2K fan, it's hard to keep defending the lack of information.

Regarding the game itself, I think we all knew it's not going to look as pretty.
Graphics is what made me give the other game one try after another, but I always wandered back to 2K due to it's analog pitching, hitters-eye, commentary and franchise components.
So I don't need super pretty graphics to convince me.
However, that's not to say the upgrades I'm reading about with The Show don't have me on the fence.

If 2K doesn't even treat it's game with respect, how are the consumers supposed to act?

I don't know why everyone is bashing this game??? 2K is trying to put a product out that...Ok I can't do this anymore, it really does look awful. I tried.

I really don't get the confusion. They have made it abundantly clear that they were done with the series. All reports are that MLB is paying 2K to get the game out for one more year, and did so at the last minute.

The features are cut and past from last year. I doubt they even brought in the guys to do new commentary. While the usual bashers are complaing abut he game looking worse, we know it will be the SAME GAME. If 2K12 didn't work for you, then you shouldn't even be considering 2K13. Full stop.

I know some people tried to create scenarios where 2K was secretly working on this game all along, and we would be blown away by improvements. But that is pretty obviously not true, because they have marketed the game EXACTLY how we would expect if it were just a paint job. That's what it will be.

There is not a good logical reason for them to drop videos and do blogs this year. At this point, even if they were great, it would still be a thread full of guys mocking the game.

I do wonder then, if anyone can answer me this question...

What is it that they've been working on since October, or whenever they resumed production of this game? Seriously, it's a legitimate question. I mean, they were walking in the offices last month, right? What did that person do from 9 to 5 when he was sitting in his cubicle?

I'm not saying we should see a bunch of improvements left and right, but with months on their plate, are we expected to believe that literally nothing will change? Or is it just the necessary facelifts to rename the game 2K13 instead? (like HUD changes, some commentary and roster updates, a playoff mode, and online improvements)?

By the way, 2K put themselves in this position, and they can dig themselves out. EA did so, 989/SCEA did so, etc. It's not too late for them to just give up. Everybody has to pitch in a little, though. It's a two-way street, boys. Make an accessible game and keep working upon a foundation, and listen to your customers. You'll get it right.

come on all you baseball fans, time to get a PS3! trade in the 360 and go with the show, 2k wants your hard earned money but what have they done to earn your trust.

I have a PS3 and chose 2K for 2K10 and 11. Stop assuming 100% of the people would choose the Show and this post is flat out trolling. 2K has hitters eye, a unique analog pitching system and great commentary. It's not all bad.

I realize there is a high probability the game is the same as 2K12 but I am still holding out hope some work was done. Mt Oread, I don't need many changes to give 2k13 a buy but the one thing (big I realize) I want changed is the bat off the ball physics and excessive opposite field homers improved.
