In 2005, in response to EA Sports' exclusive license with the National Football League and ESPN prohibiting any NFL 2K games for the foreseeable future, Take-Two Interactive signed an exclusive third-party licensing contract with Major League Baseball (MLB), MLBPA and MLBAM to produce MLB games. The agreement, which runs from Spring 2006 to 2012, allows for the console manufacturers Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to produce MLB titles for their respective platforms, but bars third party developers such as EA Sports from continuing or developing their own MLB games.
That sucks. MVP Baseball 2005 was possibly the best sports game of any kind EA ever made and instead we get the horrible 2k series for 3 more years. I wish EA would make the college games again I'd buy those over 2k cause atleast the gameplay is great.
and i'll take any 2k football game over madden any day but as far as baseball games go i'm happy I own a ps3 so I don't have to play the 2k baseball series. MLB 09 The Show owns :)

Get yourself a PS3 and a copy of MLB 09: The Show. Best baseball game ever made, and I've played them all.
