No Joy in Mudville for Xbox Owners

[philliesfan136]

I had MLB2K since around 2K8, enjoyed those and went in depth with rosters and franchises, but it just pales in comparison to the Show. I have a 360 but I had to get a Vita to play MLBTS. Hoping to someday see it in PS4 graphics.

That said, there's a decent group of MLB Power Pros fans that were not satisfied with Bobblehead on Xbox, just wasn't as fun or had as many modes as the MLBPP series. We'd love to see Konami update the rosters, at least. Too fun of a game to not be re-explored.

I think Baseball is on every system it needs to be on right now. When Microsoft starts producing a console powerful enough to handle games like the show obviously they will be there.

You don't see me in a ford dealership complaining that my Focus doesn't drive like a 3 series.

Companies aren't really interested in playing major catch up to the Show. 2k proved that just because your the only game on a console, doesn't mean it will sell. That's why Konami makes sense to me. I haven't played it but I've heard their Japanese baseball game is great and plays fairly realistic. Forget what it's called.

If they added full rosters and season stat tracking, RBI would at least be acceptable. To not have those at its $20 price point was ridiculous. Probably another year of playing modded MVP 05 on my PC.

No need to sound like you know nothing of the current gen systems. I'm as big of a Sony fanboy as anyone but have an XB1 for the exclusives and it is plenty powerful to handle a game like The Show. The Show doesn't even push the PS4 to its limits and won't for several years.

Microsoft probably hasn't done anything, because there's not really any motivation to do anything. I don't get the impression that baseball games are that big in terms of sellers, and outside of a community like this, it's certainly not going to be a system seller.

Plus, getting something anywhere near the quality of what Sony's baseball game has become would probably take a significant time, and financial investment, one that's not likely to produce results that make it a good business decision anytime soon, if ever.

Pro Yaku Spirits is a real good game. Take kijima's fox engine and a MLB license would look insanely real. Konami could bring back bottom of the 9th.
