If check swings don't "work" for you this year, it's because YOU didn't spend the year strengthening your psychic prowess. Don't blame the 2K devs just because you're spiritually lazy!

Honestly, regardless of their improvements I would never spend $60 on this game. You compare the show to the MLB2K in terms of cost-benefit and clearly the show has more content. That's why I think it's perfectly acceptable to spend half price ($29.99) to get MLB 2K on PC.

Best PC game deal for me last year, absolutely. Wouldn't even consider paying twice as much for the console version though.

The ultimate irony is if 2K12 is a great, glitch free product with room to grow and the series being cancelled due to exclusivity.

Irony being that the 2K series effectively ended the quality MVP series and we (Xbox users) were stuck with substandard products for so long.

I'd like to see exclusivity end but for the 2K baseball series to continue. It sometimes takes a couple years for developers to get baseball games right, so I'd like a choice between a steady but potentially buggy 2k13 or MVP 13 (or whoever else).

2K gets a lot right, they just seem to fail at play-testing their product for glitches. Competition could make them take their product more seriously, and even a bug-free phoned-in roster update could potentially be better than a new product just starting out.

What bothers me about this is if you have to claim you're not "phoning it in" then there is a perception that is not necessarily positive about this game.

That speaks volumes to me.

2K didn't say "We're not phoning it in this year!" The JOURNALIST did, theorizing that as a possibility due to the exclusivity running out and the series losing money. The journalist was perfectly fine in mentioning this, regardless of the series' quality.

But yes, past entries have been phoned in IMO. :-) But I can't see a company blatantly saying that!

Oh I know that - I'm just saying how often do people have to answer that question when marketing a game?

It has been a topic of conversation and wonder around here as well. That's not usually a good sign. That's all I'm saying.

I hope they don't renew. Time for EA to get back into the baseball business.

I hope they continue to make a game, the more the better, just not being the exclusive title on 360.
