>2K Sports has signed Cy Young award winner Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants to appear on the cover of Major League Baseball 2K9.
If it isn't MLB The Show then the game sucks.
Good for him. Sadly, he didn't get the cover on The Show.
The Show > MVP > 2K
I was a fan of the 2k iteration this year. Sucks I have to rebuy what will likely be the same game with updated rosters just to get the Lincecum cover.Ah well, it's worth it for The Freak.
>>465065>If it isn't MLB SlugFest then the game sucks.Fixt, because who wants a boring intricate sim when you can use your turbo bar to throw out people at first and sling 105mph sliders
>>4650732K7 and 2K8 were basically the exact same game with a updated roster. The graphics were the exactly the same and only new thing was they added a absolute shitty pitching control.
>>465076Enjoy your shitty arcade Baseball games.
>>465077I didn't have 2k7. 2k8 was a fun game, but it was also my first experience with the franchise.On the plus side, at least Tim will have god-like stats in 09
Here you go SCEA, use this picture for the cover of MLB 09:The Show.
/v/ is that way -->
>>465087>Tim will have god-like stats in 09He was going to regardless.
>>465089Nice try, /v/ hates sports games.
>>465089/v/ hates Sport Games, they'd rather play JRPGs.
LET MY CAMERON THOOOOOOOOOOW
>>465077I actually liked the 2K8 controls. I quickly mastered the new pitching and swing stick.
>>465095Yeah, but remember how Reyes had the best SS stats even though another SS fucking won the MVP?Timmy Franchise is going to be a fucking God. Hope there's no cover curse etc. etc.
>>465103>>465105doesn't /v/ hate everything?
>>465109The new pitching is way too confusing, and I still don't get it.
Every sports game should have the "First 25" option for fantasy draft franchise mode.Much more fun to play on Legend with great players than All-star/Pro with a balanced roster.
>>465109Second. Swing stick can be a bit tricky for some people who don't realize it is a realistic timing system that you have to adapt to the pitcher's rhythm.The pitch motions based on hand position/rotation was fucking inspired.
2K games are WAY TO EASY to hit a homerun in.
>>465111/v/ hates kittens.
