Sarginto Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Not sure if anyone else noticed this: Now was this done because they weren't allowed to use so and so's name or because 2K doesn't believe him to truly hold any of the records due to controversy?

Miedin Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I was wondering the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 It was mentioned a few days ago, likely because Bonds isn't in the MLBPA, so they didn't want a fake name atop the HR board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarginto Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 But it's not like they're using his likeness in the game. It's just a historical reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Maybe because he hasn't officially retired yet, I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 But it's not like they're using his likeness in the game. It's just a historical reference. I don't think it's allowed - most legalspeak uses the term "name or likeness". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiedyed Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I don't see a problem with having the real homerun king in the game :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarginto Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 I don't see a problem with having the real homerun king in the game I don't either. I prefer it that way. The whole record was turned into a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseballfans Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 In my heart Hammer Hank truly hold the record. Mlb2k9 can put the new records in the game with name * Someone actually did this on a card and got famous on ebay. http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?showtopic=37124 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiedyed Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I wish they would of left Big Mac off the all time list as well.They have him as the single season record holder with 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobluen07 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yeah there is no way in hell mcgwire should be on the list. But that just leads me to believe they didn't use bonds' name because he's not signed with the players association. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
