You're aware of who makes The Show, right? There might be a slight conflict of interest in bringing it to Microsoft's platform, whether the 2k series exists or not.

Sad day, if this news is true. Never want to see a competitor just leave the market, especially when it leaves an entire console's playerbase completely high and dry.

I just HOPE that 2K puts together a decent patch to make the game stay playable.

Sad day for sports gaming. Even though the game could never seem to get out of its own way, anytime a sports game is canceled its bad for gamers imo.

Hopefully EA jumps back in with MVP. 360 owners certainly deserve a baseball game.

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.

Quoted for truthiness.

This franchise never could get it together. I gave it a try every single year but never liked it, I'm sure I'm not alone.

And the inexorable death-spiral of a vibrant, innovative, competitive sports gaming landscape continues the path it started on in 2005....

While it wasn't a great game, it was at least something for 360 guys. It'd be cool for EA to bring back MVP, but it'd be really neat for someone like Konami to come out with something. I doubt EA will go for the exclusive, so this may introduce a couple competitors.

Hopefully EA gets in the game, MVP 05 is still my favorite baseball game.
It would be amazing if they just updated graphics/ teams and kept the core from that game in.
Maybe add a my player mode too.
