You know how Madden has it where you can select one player and play a career only controlling that guy and simming everything else?

Why can't 2K do that for MLB? I was looking at the preview for 09, and they don't have it this year either. No doubt if EA still could make a game, we would have it already.

I don't have time to play a 162 game season, I don't like playing short seasons, and I think it would be awesome to just take a player through a career just playing their atbats and defensive plays (I know you could do it with SIM but it takes way too long)

I'm surprised people want this feature so much, but I definitely see it requested a lot. I could see the appeal of being able to play as an infielder, but it's not something I miss. I don't think I ever did this with Madden either.

Yeah, I wouldn't use it if it were there.

I didn't get MLB 2K8, but can someone inform me if a batter who was walked and scored counted as an earned run? MLB 2K7 counted it as an unearned run for whatever stupid reason and it drove me up a [expletive] wall.

MLB "The Show" has that option. Buy that, its a better game anyway.

we have 2K for the WII and I have Show for my PSP. Two different games. I just hope you can play with two players during a single player season in 2K9 like we can do in Hockey.

Took your advice and bought a PS3 and The Show, I haven't enjoyed playing a baseball game this much since MVP 05.

Road to the show mode is awesome and the normal gameplay blows away the 2K franchise.

i'm tempted to get a PS3 just for this game

Agreed, I think its the best baseball game next to MVP 05. Actually its pretty close as far as gameplay and everything. Its a great game, I wish I had time to play it more.

My guy had a pretty good spring training and still got sent to AA and I haven't made it out of there yet. I haven't played the game for quite sometime. It tends to come out when I get baseball fever which is starting to happen.

I've been playing the [expletive] out of this game lately. I'm in the NLCS against the Cubs down 1 game to 0.

Did you create your own guy and get him to the major leagues?
