Unfortunately the MLB 2k9 game seems to be a lame duck. It looks like much of last years development team won't be working on it. Kushgamer told us that 2k baseball has never been able to turn a profit. He said that 2k7 was the closest to breaking even of any of the games. With the restructuring of 2k sports in the shadow of the sale of Take Two you gotta believe only bare-bones minimum resources will be allocated to MLB 2k9.

Hey Brendan, do you remember the first MLB game on dreamcast? Wasn't that Visual Concepts that developed it?
