spitoon Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I understood that the agreement still allows first party development...that would mean that Microsoft could make a game for XBox, Sony for Playstation2, Nintendo for GameCube...there just won't be any 3rd party games, which rules out anyone except Take Two making a game for PC.... Take Two has stated that they are planning a game for PC so we have that to look forward to...it's unfortunate that EA has to stop, the game has progressed nicely through it's 3 generations, with Take Two, it wouldn't be like starting over entirely, but pretty close to it. I was thinking the other night, what if EA made MVP 2006 with entirely fictional players and teams, but also included a converter so we could convert our 2005 season saves into 2006? Would that violate the agreement in any way???? I'm not sure about exactly what Take Two purchased when they bought out Microsoft's sports gaming studio...it's possible that they got the rights to the HH engine, but I haven't seen any confimation of this...

frago Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 They could still make it but would not have the use of any real names or teams or stadiums etc etc. Take 2 is a large conglomerate who owns many smaller companies like Rockstar who makes the GTA series. GTA usually comes out on PC so I wouldnt rule out 2k6 or whatever they are going to call it being on PC. I seem to remember actually reading that they planned to do a PC version. I definately know they are dropping ESPN from the picture and will not renew with them as per an interview I read somewhere. I dont know wheither it is good or bad , as I really hate EA anyway and especially their treatment of PC games overall. How much worse could take two be really. :mrgreen: For the guy who asked who take two is, they bought the company that made the ESPN games, so look at those for an idea of what they will probably put out next season.

peterbernard Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I bet they could buy the rights to Barry Bonds for the same amount of money they bought the union players for-- MVP 2006 Barry Bonds All-Steroids edition! just Bonds and a bunch of keegan paterson guys who can hit 800 foot homers. Okay, I have a fever today, I'm not making sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stix Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I play on the PS2 console for the MVP '05 version. Is there any way that EA can keep updating their rosters on their server? Like is that legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownron Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I've heard that it's more difficult to create games on the PC than the XBOX or PS/2. Is this true? If so, is'nt the Take Two platform mainly for console games? Do you think they will be able to create good PC games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I heard that EA wants to release MVP 2006 around Dec. 31 2005 cause the contract doesn't start till 2006... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smart88 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 if ea could find a way to make minor leaguers and use minor league teams, then I think they could sell a decent amount of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobniborg Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Is it possible that they release a "generic players" MVP 2006 that you can import your current rosters from??? I know a lot of sims use the Lehman database so it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
