Gamer Shelf

Back in the days I used to eat, sleep and live baseball. Nowadays, the fan in me has degraded to curiousness for the American Past-time, a far stretch to the diehard that I used to be. Although, when surfing channels on the ole’ boob-tube, and I come across a baseball game, I refrain from switching channels and succumb to my curiosity to see who is pitching, who is hitting, what the score is, to the point where I might catch a few innings. Naturally, when I seen MLB 2K9 out for the Xbox 360 my curiosity peaked and little did I know that I should have switched the channel on this one.

First of all, the issue that disrupts this title from going anywhere is the fact that 2K Sports does not have any competition. Like EA with the NFL, 2K Sports have the rights to the baseball teams of the major leagues for the Xbox 360 titles and that opens the door for them to make a game that is subpar. All baseball fans with 360s are going to buy it because the 360 lacks another baseball game (until 2K sports The Bigs 2 this summer) and most likely they are going to be somewhat disappointed with it.
