The Blog for the Sports Gamer Three guys who love Sports Gaming rant and rave about various stuff.

TTWO gets MLB

1. Yeah, I agree with Bill on the Super Bowl. Of course, everyone said that about the Rams vs Patriots in 2001, so I have to be careful .

2. Take Two Interactive made the MLB deal official. In what's got to be the most bizarre deal ever, TTWO has exclusive Third Party rights to MLBPA stuff. Keep in mind that it's MLBPA only -- ie Curt Schilling could still be playing for the Boston Red Leggings because TTWO didnt' get the MLB license (according to the Wall Street Journal they are working on it, but don't hold your breath). Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have players than the teams, but still... First party (ie Sony, Microsoft) can still make baseball games with the license. Of course, this means EA can't make their own baseball game anymore. However, it still doesn't preclude Sony/Microsoft from making their own game but outsourcing it to EA..so I'm not sure what this agreement is supposed to do.

Anyway, it's stupid. BFD. Microsoft can still make a High Heat game..so how would that help Sega?

In other news, ERTS dropped 1% today on the news. Aww, darn. Now if we could only add a "0" to that 1....they deserve it.
