Chewy Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 In an announcement today, sure to make baseball fans salivate, the upcoming MLB 2K6 will feature the World Baseball Classic, the much-anticipated 16-country tournament that will feature the greatest ballplayers in, yes, the world. Cuba, Japan, the Dominican Republic, Australia…the gang's all here. 2K Sports did confirm today that all Major League ballplayers included in the regular version of the game will be included in the WBC mode, but it remains to be seen if non-MLB players will make it into the game. Also, there's no word yet if the new WBC rules will be included, like pitch limits and mercy rules. Currently, there is a 65-pitch limit in first-round games and pitchers will be ineligible to throw for four days after an appearance of more than 50 pitches. These rules are meant to ensure that MLB studs like Dontrelle Willis don't throw out their arms come the dog-days of summer. Of course, that brings up another great question: Will injuries in the WBC be reflected in the MLB 2K6 franchise mode? Time will tell. Still, one of the most exciting baseball contests ever staged will be playable, and that's good news for all baseball fans, real players or no. The first round of the WBC kicks off March 3, while MLB 2K6 is scheduled to be released March 6. "The World Baseball Classic is going to be a winner and will highlight the appeal and passion for baseball throughout the world," said Tim Brosnan, Executive Vice President, Business, Major League Baseball. "Being a part of MLB 2K6 will give videogame players and baseball fans the opportunity to experience the excitement of the Classic. It's a natural extension." link to story & screen shots: http://media.psp.ign.com/media/788/788097/imgs_1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friedman Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Is it just me or do the crowds in the game look crappy? That is one area that I think all video game companies can improve on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 If the gameplay is better than MVP's, I might give this a shot. Not much chance of that, of course, but if it happens, I can put up with the reasonably ugly graphics again. Anyone who played High Heat knows that while not the most graphically supreme game (hell, it was closer to the bottom of the table on graphics than the top), if the gameplay is good, it will succeed.

Pirate Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Maybe if I had a console, I would play his, but really I just love MVP. Unless someone wants to buy me an Xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any site that used for gc files? because i never buy any sport games for gc that why i am not sure how it works! Thanks for noticing about Major League Baseball 2K6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
