While the game releases on March 8th the contest won't begin until April 1st to coincide with opening day. Also the age requirement is being dropped from 18 to 13. Other restrictions such as playing within the "Perfect Game Mode", recording the event on video from start to finish, using all default sett...

Hope of a future for the MLB 2K series has always been bleak. Take Two/2K Sports has taken a bath with the third party MLB license they signed in 2005.

It at least doesn't appear to be as obviously touched up as debut screens in previous years have been which is encouraging. The size of the numbers on the back of the jersey look to be much...

2K Sports has announced that Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay will be the cover athlete for MLB 2K11. Halladay is not a surprise except in that pitchers seem to have a tougher time getting covers than position players. Tim Lincecum was amongst the few when he most recently received the cover of MLB 2K9. Check out the full MLB 2K11 cover featuring Halladay in the gallery. Halladay went 21-10 with a 2.44 ERA and will likely end up winning the NL Cy Young award. He opened the playoff...
