MLB 2K10 Fixes Advertising Altered Stadiums
Last year a controversy arose when MLB 2K9 attempted to extend the space for advertising by altering some wall dimensions and adding signs that didn't exist in the stadiums.

While more of a just a nuisance there was also some discontent over the sheer number of ads being ...
