    2K not renewing MLB

    One can only hope EA or someone else good picks it up. Otherwise no MLB for anyone but PS4 owners.

    They probably won't renew exclusivity but they will still make a game.

    Hopefully this means MVP Baseball is back!

    According to the link they took down their 2K baseball site and what not. 2K13 was dismal. Horrible game and I have a hunch they lost money on it. They seem to be pakcing it in and focusing heavily on NBA and their WWE title. Need to throw a ton of money into Rockstar, as it's their big money maker.

    Which is a shame because NFL 2k series was actually pretty solid. I only played MLB 2k6 and nothing since then. I miss MVP Baseball.

    I played 2K10 or something last. And it sucked. 2K13 is apparently horrible.

    I don't remember the NFL games. I preferred Madden but they need more competition.

    Haven't played madden in a few years. Their game is almost the same thing every year since NFL 2k went out. Would beinterested to see how 2K Team would handle a next-gen Football game since Madden is the only competition.

    That was when Sega made them under the Sega Sports brand. Not the same company.

    They were bought out weren't they? So it should be the same "company".

    RBI Baseball is coming back this year. Anyone think MLB is capable of making a decent baseball game? If it's good, I'll probably pick it up since I'm still playing a heavily modded version of MVP 2005 on my PC. Would be nice to play a truly up to date baseball game that's good for a change.
