Around SBN: Hugh Douglas Admits To Stealing From Jaguars

Your 2013 World Series Champions! (2k9)

So i decided to pull out the dusty, glitchy, ole MLB 2k9 the other day and i started simulating seasons like crazy.  After many unrealistic free agent signings and trades later, (there was a payroll) i came across a new, revamped San Fransisco Giants! My lineup consists of...

1) Nick Markakis RF

2) Pablo Sandoval 3B

3) Prince Fielder 1B

4) Jay Bruce CF

5) Buster Posey (created player, realistic in my opinion) C

6) John Bowker LF

7) Juan Uribe SS (cheap and he hit 21 dingerz)

8) Brian Bocock 2B (15 dingerz and a .271 avg)

Bench

Nate Scheirholtz

Travis Ishikawa

Cameron Maybin

 

Rotation

1) Tim LIncecum

2) Madison Bumgarner (created player, not so realistic)

3) Ervin Santana

4) Barry Zito (redid his contract to 4 million a year)

5) One of those made up minor leaguers

Bullpen

Jeremy Affeldt

Boone Logan

4 made up minor leaguers

Regular Season record: 90-72

Remember, I did this while staying in payroll and the easy trade cheat off! If only this could really happen....

he won’t age well, but you got him super cheap!

If you use the roster update, Posey and Bumgarner are in the game. Posey is “A. Penn” on the major league roster, and Bumgarner is Bumgarner in AA. I have no idea why they would include one’s actual name and not the other, since they both made the majors last year.

They also have something called 2KShare, where you can share your created players with others. I downloaded a Bonds one and he wouldn’t show up in Franchise mode. I’m wondering if his name is blocked from even being played.

But yeah, there are lots of unrealistic trades available. I traded F. Sanchez and Velez for Heyward and Prado.

I’m too cheap. Don’t wanna pay for it

You don’t have to. I just have the free XBox Live Silver for now, and I can still access these things.

Wait, what?

You can get Xbox live for free?

Yeah

XBL Silver accounts

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

You just can’t play against other people.

With a Silver account, you can’t play against others (which I don’t, anyway), and sometimes you have to wait extra time to be allowed access to DLC.

Is The Show better than 2K? 2K9 is just awful. It’s so bad, I literally threw it against the wall after the 19th time my outfielder couldn’t pick up a ball against the fence. Not to mention the puffs of dust that are kicked up with every step, as though the players are in a Wild West Showdown.
