Bruce B Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Now that football is out of the wat I cant wait for baseball. I hope they do a good job with this game. The MVP series by EA was awesome and its going to take alot to oust that. 2K6 will feature the World Baseball Classic and also utilize "Inside Edge Tools" which analyzes players tendencies via statistical analysis. Heres the scoop on the "Inside edge tools" http://channels.lockergnome.com/game/archives/20060110_major_league_baseball_2k6_to_utilize_inside_edge_tools.phtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I really enjoyed MVP last year. Hopefully 2k6 is better then 2k5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I'm looking forward to it. Joey and I had some great games in MVP last year....too bad we were the only ones that really played it here. Hopefully more people will be playing baseball this year. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon W H Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 If this is as good as the late World Series version last October, I'll be getting this sooner or later, too. I loved the home run derby modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Midway announced MLB Slugfest for the Xbox and PS2 today for $19.99 to be released in the spring. Now i could care less about a new Slugfest, but how is Midway as a third party publisher, able to release this game while Take 2 has the "exclusive" license to all MLB rights including arcade style games?

Romier S Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Gamespot has the first screens of the Xbox360 version of MLB2k6. They have a small preview of the game that talks about features and a few other additions to the game. I've uploaded a few screenshots to look at below: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/sports/majorleaguebaseball2k6/news.html?sid=6145716 Since the Xbox 360 launched late last year, the 2K Sports lineup of games has been notable for including the same modes and features that are found in the old-gen versions of the same game. That looks to be the case here with MLB 2K6 for the 360, a game that is bringing all of the different modes you can play on the Xbox and PS2. Everything that's new about this year's MLB game can be found in 2K6 for the 360, including, most prominently, the Inside Edge scouting services, updated pitching and batting controls, and the overhauled VIP system. The Inside Edge system provides the player with thorough scouting reports on any player or team found in the game--and these reports aren't just good reading material. When facing a scouted player or team, you will see immediate tangible benefits on the field. When pitching against a scouted batter, for example, your catcher might suggest pitches based on the batter's tendencies, or your defensive players will shift according to where the player likes to put the ball in play. Conversely, when facing a scouted pitcher, you'll get dynamic pitch statistics that show you percentiles on how often that pitcher throws certain pitches in his arsenal in any given situation. The downside to all this primo information is that it's going to cost you. For exhibition matches, you'll have a store of scouting points to spend (and better players will cost more to scout); in franchise mode, scouting costs come out of your overall budget. Sure, you can break the bank on scouting every team in the big leagues--just don't come crying to us when the only player you can afford to sign is John Rocker. When it comes to control, pitching and batting in MLB 2K6 for the 360 controls exactly like in the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the game. For pitching, last year's K-Zone pitching has been replaced as the default method with a more streamlined approach that uses an expanding and contracting halo around the ball; the bigger the halo, the more action you'll put on the ball during the pitch (and the easier it will be to miss your mark). Beyond the mechanics, one interesting twist in pitching is the ability to choose between pinpoint and breakpoint placement. Pinpoint placement means you can choose exactly where the ball lands in the catcher's glove. Breakpoint placement (this year's default) is a more realistic take on the action from the mound--and has you choosing where the ball will break, but not necessarily where it will end up. Using this method, you'll need to know the motion of your pitcher's slider, curve, or forkball and take that into consideration when choosing your spot.

kelley Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thats one detailed baseball.....and yes i'm talking about the actual ball itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I would like to play the Dominican's vs the Yankees. Both have seemingly killer lineups. The who's who of baseball. That alone would be worth playing 2k6 for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce B Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Looks like its delayed a few weeks on all fronts. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/695/695713p1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James T Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I'm kinda glad. Most sports games are released before opening day and end up being buggy. With no competition, they can afford to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 There is certainly competition on the PS2. MLB 2006 The Show is selling like wildfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 MLB 2006 The Show is selling like wildfire. With good reason, it plays a very good game of baseball. It is my choice for my baseball fix with no MVP. I will give 2K a chance but they have put out a disappointing game the past couple of years. With no other choice on the 360, hopefully they have worked out the various bugs that have plagued this title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I have The Show for the PSP and it is a spectacular Baseball game. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 EB now this game listed as shipping next Monday the 10th. While skeptical, I will be picking it up, so anyone looking for a game, throw me an invite(as long as you do not mind playing against the Yankees).

JoeyN Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Game is now gold for the 360 and will ship on the 10th which means in stores on the 11th. I have to go reserve this still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce B Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I read where on the 360 version if you hit the right trigger button when Bonds is up a trainer comes out and gives him an injection. 700 foot homers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
