The Wombat of ZTGD writes: It's that time of year again. Spring training is in full swing, and the MLB season is inching ever closer to beginning. This time of year also brings with it the annual parade of baseball titles, a number that has shrunk in recent years due to 2K's acquisition of the MLB license. One of the difficulties in developing sports games is closely related to the cyclical nature of the MLB season. The game has to be developed on a very strict schedule in order to make it on to store shelves in time for opening day. Even a brief spin with MLB 2K9 makes it clear that many aspects of the game suffered from these time constraints. From the numerous bugs to the overall lack of polish, 2K9 seems like it would have done well with another couple months in the minors before stepping up to the big leagues.
