I know there used to be a thread on this, but it vanished or was deleted... there is some previews coming out for the one and only MLB baseball game worth a s*** on any game consoles this year. Make sure you check out some of the screenshots from the link.....unbelievable.

 

MLB 2K6 promises to be outstanding, taking features that everyone loved from MVP and packaging them together with the features that have already worked for 2K baseball. This game will also include the World Baseball Classic.

 

Perhaps the most innovative feature on this game looks to be the Inside Edge system.... from the story:

 

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.

more smooth?? where did you see a video in this link?? Can't really how smooth graphics are unless you see them in motion.

 

Saying a previous gen system has BETTER graphics is ignorance. There is no comparison, MVP couldnt dream of making a player model like this.

This is for the 360. The regular graphics I've seen aren't overwhelming.

The only I'd play it is for Career mode. Always wanted to play that.

Your 100% right Watchtower. MVP didnt ever touch those sort of graphics. It was also never made for 360......

 

Im sure 2k "wont touch" MVP's game engine. It was the best baseball engine ever. EVER.

 

RBI Baseball > MVP Baseball

Dont get too excited from some mocked up shots on a game website. The 360 has great graphics, but as everyone knows the game never looks exactly the way the promotional screenshots have it panned out to look like. Plus most people dont play these games in that 3rd person close up mode like that. You are usually set back a bit so you can get the view of the entire playing field or at least the infield.

Exactly. Movie screen shots mean nothing.
