A Derek Jeter/Josh Beckett commercial?

[riverside sluggers]

I was scanning through on the new baseball game ESPN 2K6, coming out this spring. It brought me to a behind the scenes section of photos taken from a commercial of Beckett having to face Derek Jeter. First time seeing him adorn the Red Sox Uni with the #19, it looks like a great fit. I hope this starts airing soon

They were in a preseason hype MLB commerical together just before the start of the 04 season (right after the Yanks and Marlins played in the WS)

Looks good. I can't wait until this game comes out. And can't wait to see the commercial.

[gosox613]

haha they spell red sox "Red Socks"

[riverside sluggers]

Haha, I wouldnt think so.

 

EDIT: Damn I just read on the game info page "Rosters updated through Jan 15". This of course means Adam Stern will be the default center fielder.

not really a big deal, just trade for him in the game or if you have online mode for your system you can just download the updated rosters which should be out by then.

Thats what I used to love about All Star Baseball...yes, the game would come out a week or 2 after all the others, but theyre rosters were always amazing.

 

f***ing Acclaim!

[MC Hammer]

Too bad Sega blows at making baseball games.

 

Oh what I'd give for 1 more MVP game.

[26 to 6]

If you have PS2 you can get MLB 06: The Show with Big Papi on the front. Thats what im going to get (im actually going to get both, but ill likely play MLB more)

I bought MVP: NCAA Baseball last week. I wont buy an MLB game as long as EA isn't making one. They're the only company that does the game justice.

[Moose]

2K Sports (Sega) owns. f*** EA. Big heads.

 

But yeah, EA had better baseball games than 2K.

Ahh, I see.

[TheRivernator]

Ahh, I see.

 

 

It is too bad that they didnt make ncaa baseball earlier so that you could upload your graduated players into MVP. NCAA is good, but I think they threw it together too quickly....

[Ray10]

I'm going to for sure be buying mlb 2k6. I have 05 and I find it better than MVP 05. I dunno what it is but for some reason Sega makes better baseball games than EA does.

I had both and both had nice things about them. I think the franchise mode of mlb is annoying as guys mature way too quickly and make vets obsolete. Then again, rookies didnt matue well enough in mvp until last yr. I wish they could get together and make an ultimate game, but too bad it wont work...

I have them both and disagree. Despite EA's HORRIBLE Franchise mode or whatever.

That is one thing I wont miss from them. And one thing I miss from Acclaim.

I agree. BUt I still love the game, though it gets borig after a while.

 

But yeah, I wish they made it earlier too.

I had EVERY game in their frnachise (1998-2005). I loved ASB.

 

But to the fact that 2K blows...NBA 2K6 is pretty amazing on XB360. I'll definately have to try MLB 2K6 before I get it, but it should be pretty damn good.

FINALLY, somebody who agrees with me on ASB. I had them all too and was in love with the game even before Jeter became the coverboy (thats another thing I loved, I knew it was gonna be Jeter every year, these other games switch off every year. Thats the reason I bought 2K5 last year, Jeter. And thats the reason ill buy the new one this year). They had the deepest modes, the franchise had Rule 5, Waivers, etc. I REALLY MISS ASB right now.

[riverside sluggers]

huh, the preview video clips have beckett down with the #21. Of course thats a default mechanism, as it has been announced that he will don the #19

 

I'll probably rent all the new games and then decided which one is best. Of course I wouldve chosen MVP 06 hands down if they had actually frigging made it that is

[Moose]

Since the broadcasting booth for EA and 2K are both Giant lovers, I have no choice. But I'd rather listen to Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow. Jon Miller and Joe Morgan just blow.

 

 

Too bad, MLB 2K6 won't be 20 bucks this year.

The reason I loved it so much was because I got so used to it and it became second nature to me. I had my first year in the frnachise mode and went like 150-12 (ish) on legendary or w/e the toughest difficulty was, and swept the playoffs.

Wonder what Lowell's gonna wear.

Just wanted to chime in and say that ASB was one of the most awesome games I ever played. The best homerun graphics ever, showing the shot going out from the side with the crowd rushing by, that was soo coool. Excellent game. MVP has its short comings but overall that was an excellent excellent game. Every sports game get a little boring.

 

MLB 2k5 sucks. I need minor league action and it had zero. Good game play but the franchise mode really blew badly and I hope that some how from somewhere there can be a game that can compete with it soon because it really sucks. The fielding is awesome though.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

ASB was awsome. I also had all of the games.

[riverside sluggers]

sidetrack: is the 2K games the one in which you are able to sub in regular players as relief pitchers? Last year I swore I had Big Papi pitching 2 shutout innings of relief against the Yankees. Haha it was classic, of course his only pitch was fastball.

[He Hate Me]

My first ASB game was the 1995 edition with Larry Walker on the cover. My friend and I instituted the Larry Walker rule--you were'nt allowed to pick the Rockies because Larry Walker could hit a splitter that bounces 55 feet from the mound and still jack it out for a HR.

[riverside sluggers]

very cool, I had sent the Boston Dirt Dogs site the link I had supplied you guys about this commercial. Which they have now posted on their site and an email my way thanking for the heads up as of course this was secretly talked about.

lol cool. I know you used to be able to do that in ASB (ASB 2005 at least, dont remember about the other ones). I had Ichiro as my emergency reliever (since he started out as a pitcher in Japan)..pretty good.

 

You guys are the only guys who have said they like ASB. ANYONE else that I talk to HATED ASB..now I dont feel like such an idiot haha

[KeepTheFaith1229]

Haha yeah, I had ASB 2003 and if you pinch hit for someone you keep the hitter in, one time I had Sosa go like 4 scoreless...

 

I thought that game sucked though.

[riverside sluggers]

This is not about ESPN 2K6, but I have just played MLB 06: The Show. This I believe is the best baseball game for 2006. Granted not as good as the MVP games. It goes down each lineup, starting pitchers and relief pitchers-- Comments on each of those players, giving it a close match to what actual baseball presentations are like.

 

The graphics need some better work, but this game I recommend for everyone.
