Forgive me if I'm not convinced by a 2K producer admitting their previous year's version was poor and that "this is the year." It's the same thing they say every year for their baseball and hockey games. Sorry 2K. Most of the game buying public is on to your yearly publicity push and they aren't buying it. That's why you're hemorrhaging money and about to have to cancel your hockey franchise. That's also why you wish you could get the 800 pound gorilla (MLB license) off your back so you could stop some of the bleeding there as well. Bet you all wish you could jump into a time machine and take that EA offer now, don't you?

By the way, who wants to place a bet with me on whether or not there will be a demo before release. I'll take "no demo" for 1,000. Any takers?

I've said it before on here and I'll say it again: I hope that if this does go down EA seizes the opportunity to really step up their game for the 360/PS3 versions. Without the TW name to sell copies I hope they finally deliver more in the gameplay department because those versions have gone totally stale for me. Although in the end it probably wouldn't be enough to trump the great Wii experience last year, so I guess for me it doesn't really matter if they innovate on the consoles or not. I can't see going back to controlling a golf game with a standard controller, but an improved experience for those that don't have a Wii would be nice.

As far as the series being canceled outright as some have suggested on here, that could be a possibility on 360/PS3. Maybe the game goes Wii exclusive for a year as I don't see them passing up on those sales. By the time the version after this year releases Project Natal should be out and they can take advantage of that and possibly bring back Tiger to boot. I'm not sure when PS3's motion controlled thing is supposed to drop.

Another possibility is they go the "arcade" route and just release a download game in the style of NFL and NHL arcade for the 360/PS3. That would be a change would it? A sim version for Wii and an arcade version for 360/PS3. It's a long shot, but with EA you never know.

I voted for Tiger Woods 10, but with the caveat that I'm only voting for the Wii version. The 360 version has been stagnant for the past two to three years in my opinion. The Wii motion plus really works with TW10. It's also the only sports game I still play regularly. No other sports game really wowed me this year. If I owned a PS3 I would probably have voted MLB The Show as my top game, but I don't.

I'd rather have this then have to hear Tom Hammond utter the word "Chompetion" one more time.

I'm certainly not interested in it at all if the only way to get good cards is buy purchasing them. If the amount of playtime required to acquire the tokens needed to get good cards is too unrealistic I simply won't even bother with this. If it turns out to be reasonable though, I could see myself getting caught up in the whole collectible aspect. By the way, wasn't it just 3 or so years ago when Madden Cards were in the game annually as an included feature that didn't require the purchase of any cards?

Yeah, she's not really interested in the whole blu-ray angle. I've tried that already. If there's anything that might sell her it's Little Big Planet.

LOL. This is almost too perfect. This is the state of sports video games these days. Sorry..not trying to be too cynical..but it's true. Gotta get the shoes right! Too funny.

I've been thinking up ways to explain to my wife why I'm going to be buying a new game system for just one game since the day I traded in 2k10 for Xbox 360 last year (probably about a week after I bought it). At that time I swore I would never touch a 2k baseball game again, and I'm sticking to it. Now I just need to figure out how to smoothly break it to her when The Show releases this year. She just doesn't understand the fact that someone can spend nearly 400 dollars to get one game. She does know what a baseball nut I am though, but this one is going to be a tough sell. I wish I had the all black Xbox 360. Then I could at least try to be covert and switch them out when I play The Show. She probably wouldn't even recognize that they are different systems.

The worst part for 2k is the exclusivity deal they signed with MLB. They are getting crushed by The Show and that's only on one system. If MLB 2k10 is a bomb -and we have every right to believe it will be based on past performance and the bad will they have built up with several garbage MLB releases in a row- they are in line to lose a boat load of money on that game too. Their problem in that situation is they kinda have to make an MLB game until after 2012. What are they going to do, drop that from their roster when they have exclusivity rights for 3rd party development? 2k only has basketball, and they are starting to lose their grip on that as well. This company has really tumbled. What a fall from grace. I'm no 2k hater. It wasn't but a few years ago when I played their games almost exclusively. I just like good games, and they have not been delivering very much in that regard.

I saw 2k10 in the Target clearance rack last weekend for 19.99. It's been out what, 2 or 3 months? This game was a monumental bust and I definitely don't see them throwing good money after bad with this series any longer.
