Steve Phillips News Affects MLB 2K10

2K Sports may be scrambling after the recent news of Steve Phillips firing from ESPN and sex scandal. Phillips has admitted to an affair with a co-worker that ended up resulting in what has been described as “fatal attraction-like” behavior by the woman towards Phillips’ wife and family. He has since entered a treatment facility that deals with sex addiction.

From a public relations standpoint 2K cannot feature Phillips in the game. Phillips was one half of the commentary team in MLB 2K9 and presumably would be in that same role in 2K10. The commentary was one of the few positives that game had to offer and now could be in big jeopardy.

It is nearly November and at this point most of what will be in the final version of the game has been locked in. It is unknown if the commentary could be re-done at this point. If it is it certainly would not be up to the level of quality that was seen with 2K9 and would have potentially been in 2K10 with another year to add to the library.

There are no indications as to anything having to do with MLB 2K10 yet and it seems unlikely that 2K will make a statement on the issue anytime soon. The game will release the first week of March. Generally little to no news is made on the game before the new year outside of a possible cover athlete announcement.

Pasta has been EXPOSED as a EA Conveyor belt operator long ago.

The guy is Peter Moore’s pet…its disgusting.

EA Sports is for the uncaring, big buisness loving, gullible masses of gamers who care not for the quality of the game but only the flash of the marketing that lures them to the cash register to buy EA’s crappy products….bottom line.

Support 2K….stop the exclusive license thieves of EA…stop buying their over marketed crap…….bottom line.

I supported 2K's college hoops games…now they are extinct. I haven't been a supporter of EA's basketball games, so I go back to playing College Hoops 2K7 – not to spite EA but to play a quality game.

I used to support 2K's baseball games…then 2K9 came out. So now I buy MLB The Show, a superior game that is worth my $60.

I will spend my hard-earned money on quality games, regardless of the company that makes them. Support companies based on results, not on perceptions of nameless, faceless Internet fanboys – 2K, EA, Sony, Microsoft or otherwise.

I agree with stopping to exclusive licensing, other than that I disagree with what you said. I think Pasta is fair in his posts, especially with the ones about MLB 2k9, that game was brutal.

Why should we support one company or another? Just buy the better game (I know a radical concept). In this case the better game is CLEARLY MLB the Show, so I will be supporting Sony this March.

Like someone said earlier it is unbelievable some of the comments in here. If it was Cris Collinsworth in this situation every website on the net would be covering how Madden's commentator did this and what it would mean to the Madden game going forward. But since its 2K's commentator it should just be swept under the rug it seems. I really like that hypocracy.

Lol, I noticed that everyone that defends pasta or says anything positive about EA gets a thumbs up, but those that criticize pasta or talks positive towards 2k get a neg thumbs down. It's also funny how most people on this site prefer live10 over 2k10, but everywhere else has 2k as the better game, by far. But we all know that if pasta says he loves fishing, these guys will prob go out and by a freakin boat(preferably made by EA). Look for guys like sroeland to respond to this one, after all thats how you get 50 "pasta points", defend anything said toward daddy boy there. Hopefully I set a new record for thumbs down on this one. Lol!!!

Woah…did you read what I said?

"I haven't been a supporter of EA's basketball games, so I go back to playing College Hoops 2K7 – not to spite EA but to play a quality game." No EA bias there, huh? College Hoops is a 2K game!!!

"I will spend my hard-earned money on quality games, regardless of the company that makes them."

How is this defending Pasta or being a fanboy? Enlighten me…

And the "points" are for Intense Debate…a system many other web sites use for commenting. Look it up and educate yourself before you completely lose crediblity.

does anyone know if EA is making another baseball game or are they done? Also the 2k series does kind of suck, phillips spouts the same 7 lines over and over again, and they don't even call the game right. I'm just a big baseball fan and need a NEW game…if anybody has any info on possible dates just post it

From what I know its not a possibility unless Microsoft purchases EA. I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't come out with an MLB game like Sony has. The exclusive agreement 2k has with MLB allows Microsoft to develop an Xbox exclusive MLB game since its not a third party game.
