Take Two in Talks with Major League Baseball

Posted by Zonk on from the hit-back-with-a-bat dept.

After EA's ESPN announcement yesterday, it hardly comes as a surprise that GamesIndustry.biz is reporting a possible deal between Take Two Interactive and Major League Baseball. The deal, first reported in the Wall Street Journal, appears to be for exclusivity rights similar to EA's arrangements. While the move wouldn't hurt EA's baseball franchise, it would squeeze out other competitors who have used the MLB license in the past.

    Competitive gaming industries race to the NHL to work out a deal with them.

    Oh, wait, there needs to be a hockey season first.

    That's fine and fancy, but the burning question for me is whether TakeTwo will put out a game with "Steroids-On" and "Steroids-Off" options.

    We can only hope for more high-quality games like Outlaw Golf 2!

    The shameless bunch from the Outlaw series returns to the repressed world of golf with their outrageously twisted antics.

    I love twisted antics!
