Stupid game. The PC version had the online component cut, which imo makes it worthless.

Sports game for the PC without MP? That is worthless. Who plays sports games by themselves?

MVP 05.The best baseball game ever.I'm sure MLB 2k9 will not be as great as MVP.

Laughing Seems MP is the god for u noxxle!there's no way i'll ever judge a game by MP.

Just look at all the complaints by xbox360 users for nba2k9 online.I'm not going to waste my time playing online with 15-20 years old kids that drive me crazy with their attitude.I'll stick home with friends playing against each other and having fun.That's what i do from
1990 with sports games and believe me it's FUN.

MP is very important for me, and it is absolutely essential in a sports game, imo. Are there ANY baseball games for the PC that have a MP community?

Seems like sports games in general on the PC don't have much of an online following. If someone knows of any, please tell me.

MP is a mess even on console sports gaming.Even if the game had MP components you will still be here bashing 2k for lag or whatever.Considering that these sprots games come along with massive slider and roster tweaking it's impossible to find good MP gaming.The only way is organized private lobbies with strict rules etc.

I've been reading reviews at the official forums and the general consensus is that this game really sucks. Specifically the pitching system.

Stay away.

Playing demo and i can say:Game is good.Don't go at the console wars.Some fanboys at the forums compare 2k9 for xbox360 and The Show for PS3.Ignore them.
Apart from AI batting aggressiveness game is really good.

lets hope for a release, although this vs the show on PS3 was the weaker game, would be good to see a baseball game on PC

P.S. there was a community mod for MVP05 that allowed multiplayer online matchups

I don´t even know the game rules, but after NBA 2k9, I´ll give this a try...Razz.

Edit: Ups: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/958/958873p1.html

Maybe I´ll think twice.

tried the demo, couldnt get the controls to work at all! either with keyboard or my ps2 gamepads (which work great for all other games).

options, couldnt even change any settings to map either keyboard or PS2 pad. all it showed was controller and the name of it on the screen, yet no response from any keys or buttons.

uninstalled it after 10 min of trying.. now i see SKIDROW released it, should i bother? anyone get it to work with either keyboard or PS2 pads?

Gave it a try, had no end of trouble with the controls not working. Deleted in frustration when I couldn't get my gamepad to work with it, even though it recognized it, none of the keys responded during play.
