Major League Baseball 2K9 Coming to PC?

[Tarheelia]

I just found the PC version on 2KSports website out of boredom, and I am excited beyond means. I've been waiting on PC baseball since MVP 05.

The PC version has my very excited.

I'll still rent it first on 360 (game pass) and if all seems good enough I'll pick it up on CPU. I should be able to get a good feel for the game while I wait for PC reviews to surface and see what (if any) issues arise with that version.

The best part is I meet (and mostly exceed) the recommended requirements, so I should be in for a good experience in terms of performance if all is right. Looking forward to it

Yeah you can pretty much book that after mods and changes to the core of the game, this will be a great baseball game

While I do think mods would make the game amazing, I also am skeptical that a lot of modders out there will even care about it.

There seems to be a pretty negative vibe around this game at the modding sites for MVP, it seems to me as if the modders and "hardcore" players of MVP on the whole don't really want to give this game a chance, they're just content with the 4 year old game they're used to which they already know is very easily modded.

Having said that if someone figures out ways to mod this game in the same way that MVP 2005 is modded, then yes I'm sure some of them will convert over and do work for the new game. But I'm in no way convinced this game will receive anywhere NEAR the attention MVP did, because 1) Everyone has this holier-than-thou view of MVP 2005, when in reality the game unmodded really isn't all that great, 2) The modders of MVP 2005 have already put so much time/effort into that game, I wonder if they even want to attempt a new one, and 3) People are hard to change. After 4 years of MVP, a lot of these people are going to just play that and not even give MLB a chance, which is a shame.

But, we'll see. All I know is someone is going to have to crack MLB's files, because the type of modding that goes on for NBA2K9 isn't good enough. Texmod is ok, but there has to be a way to solve actually replacing the texture files permanetly rather than using Texmod to load them into memory before each load. That form of modding is not a good long term solution. Unless of course someone has already figured that out and I just haven't seen it yet.
