Let's not beat around any bushes here: MLB 2K9 has taken a backseat in terms of quality to Sony's MLB The Show series, but the fact of the matter is that MLB 2K is still a fine baseball series and it is still the only one to be found on more than one console. 2K9 has released 7 new screenshots of game featuring stars such as Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia (damn you New York!) and Mariners left fielder Ichiro. The screens are nice, sure, and all of the previews and videos we've seen so far follow suit. Hit the jump for the pictures in question and if you're a baseball fan who just happens to not own a Playstation 3, look forward to this title in stores at the beginning of March 2009.
PlayStation LifeStyle: "A common stereotype about gamers is their short attention span. As announcements for new games and hardware come and go it is easy to lose sight of the momentous events that shaped the gaming world. This Week in PlayStation highlights Sony's rich video game heritage which dates back into the 1980's.
Step back in time with us as we put the spotlight on events big and small that have significantly altered the gaming culture."
Hard to believe only ten years ago we were just barely coming into the PlayStation 2 era...I was also only 11 years old HAH!
Direct2Drive is having a great sale on their catalog of 2K Games including BioShock, Sid Meier's Civilization IV, MLB2K9 and more for under $10.
...and you have a decent computer, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't take advantage of this offer.
10 bucks for one of the best games of all time that STILL looks incredible? Wow.

"If you're a die-hard, non-PS3 owning baseball fan, this is going to be your only option for the sport this year anyway. Hopefully a patch will fix the numerous issues, and if they are, you'll be getting a decent yet flawed MLB experience. With the 360 market to themselves however, MLB fans deserve better from 2K."
