Some MLB 2K13 Features Revealed, First Screenshot Included

[m-dogg]

I've never seen a feature list with no new features, that was really odd. sure, features are mostly hype to sell the new product, but weren't there some improvements made to this game that could have been put in there somewhere?

makes me think this was like a skeleton 2k crew working on getting a last mlb title out before next gen...

Hey guys, lets take the fantasy teams to another thread so we can stay on-topic here. Thanks.

What are the odds they've done anything at all with that sim engine that's been broken for 4 or 5 years now? The one that makes Franchise mode a complete waste of time because simmed stats are nowhere near realistic.

The sim stats are fine, but I can almost guarantee you that regardless, 2K has done nothing to improve them. MLB is paying 2K to just get a new game on the shelf.

This will likely just be 2K12 with a new shell. New rosters, schedules, and alignment will be in the game. I expect everything else to be the same, but with the 2K12 logo replaced by a 2K13 logo.

They might do some patching of things they would have liked to fix before pulling the plug last year. But actually, I would not bet on that. I would consider this game a gift to those of us that liked 2K12, and that everyone else ought to move on.

Even in a perfect world where 2k fully intended to release this game it is after all probably the last year or penultimate year for the 360. Seems to me they only just started working on this game so to expect it to be anything more than a roster update is wishful thinking. Clearly all they care about on the sports front is basketball. Save your money and get the updated rosters for 12.

Will they have the WBC? Im buying the show and they don't have it if 2k doesn't have it looks like ill be getting the show and pro yakyuu spirits.

Im not trying to trash 2K, and ive only played the demo of '12 and '09 on PS2. I just worded it wrong. I like how the pitching system is, and 2K Share A LOT. But when i compare 2K NBA to 2K MLB (even though they are two different sports and games), i just feel like 2K MLB has much more potential. The online is better on 2K too, but they have potential to do better than what they are. EDIT: Oh, AND ive had the past 2 2K MLB games with '08 for the Wii. Im not siding with The Show, because ive never played the current versions of it. Im just saying that MLB 2K isnt as good as it should be, but, maybe things change before release...
