ESPN Major League Baseball slips

Following an update to its official Web site, Visual Concepts has confirmed that ESPN Major League Baseball has been pushed from its original March 23 release date to April 14.

Responding to GameSpot's queries about the date slip, Visual Concepts' Matt Atwood had the following to say: "In an effort to release the best quality product possible, we felt it necessary to push the title back a couple of weeks. We apologize for any inconvenience this delay might cause, but ultimately, we feel gamers will be happy with the final product."

ESPN Major League Baseball is the follow-up to last year's critically heralded baseball title World Series Baseball 2K3. It is the first of Visual Concepts' baseball titles to feature the new ESPN namesake, which had been debuted for the company's previous titles over the course of last year.
