In an earlier article from Pastapadre today, he mentioned the MLB 2K series was left out of the Take Two lineup listing, not long after that Kotaku all but confirmed the death of the MLB 2K series.

Quote:


	Kotaku asked Take-Two Interactive if it could confirm the end of the series, and it released this statement: "Our legacy Major League Baseball agreement will sunset in fiscal 2013," a Take-Two spokesman said, meaning in the coming 12 calendar months. "MLB 2K12 is our last offering under that agreement. At this time, we have no further comment."

I wouldn't put it in stone that it's over with. But that is not a good sign. :/

Kotaku is reporting that Take Two has confirmed that 2K12 is the last in the series. Apparently someone from Take Two confirmed it.

Yep, Take Two just confirmed it themselves.

Hopefully someone steps up to the plate or else 360 owners will have no baseball games.

Which is why I switched to the PC version for this game. With the mods and roster editors that are available, the 2K series can live on for years. Not worried in the least if 2K12 is the last game.

Wow.......I guess that means EA will go back to making baseball games then. Since 2K exclusive deal ends this year anyway.

Good. It's about time they aborted this mess.

Clearly, no game company has repeatedly failed in its efforts with one particular title than 2k with baseball. A bad product never improved appreciably over many years. It was a colossal failure by the company for buying the exclusive MLB third party license and a failure by the developers for their inability to put out an acceptable game by next-gen standards.

It's a title that looked bad and played bad. When you lag that far behind the competition, you have failed miserably. And that is inexcusable when you are the only alternative in a given sport for a particular platform.

The game looked bad year after year, and it played worse.

Good riddance. And don't let the gate to the bullpen hit you in the rear on the way out, 2k.

Hopefully we get the show. That will be a first-day buy every year for me.
