I heard that NHL 2k9 got transfered from Kush to V.C.

Didn't see anything about this on the 1st page of this forum, sorry if it is old news. I haven't kept up to date with 2k baseball this year.

Re: Did 2k transfer MLB '09 development to Visual Concepts?
Visual Concepts is 2K Sports. KUSH Games, Venom & Blue Castle are developers in the VC/2K Sports Portfolio. So that Job Listing doesn't mean VC is taking over MLB, it just means VC is looking for a programmer for the MLB Series.

The bigger question to be answered: Is KUSH developing 09 or Blue Castle?

Good find. But there's even more if you dig deeper.

You may be interested in finding out the whereabouts of a Mr. B. B. ---if you get my drift.

Hmm, interesting.

Are you telling me that Brinkman is no longer working for 2K? I've done some searching and haven't been able to find any information.

If he is gone, that's too bad. I thought the series - despite it's problems - was headed on the right track.

Good job! You've uncovered it! Now someone go post a new thread about it, this is kind of huge news. The savior has left, but WHY? We can only speculate.

Either:

A.) He was let go due to the subpar quality of MLB2K7 and MLB2K8.

B.) He jumped a sinking ship, with the looming EA merger.
