Win a Million Dollars, Playing Major League Baseball 2K10

Re: Win a Million Dollars, Playing Major League Baseball 2K10

Yeah, this thing really worries me how easy it will be for people that know how to abuse this kind of thing.

I'll give away my process now, though. First of all, if I were to buy it, I'd try to get the game early. That way I can figure out how to really play the game, tweak my settings to the best of my ability, find the best pitcher combined with a decent defense and the worst hitting team, etc. Then I'd make sure to enable Hurry Up play (if possible in MLB Today mode), because I'm not going to waste time trying to get $1 million, sorry lol.

Finally, I'd go for one run on offense, and afterward I'd just bunt or get picked off the rest of the game. Hey, the point of this is the pitching aspect, why would I be going for more offensive stuff and wasting my time while I'm all about trying to get a perfect game on defense? A waste of time for any of us.

And of course, if my perfect game is broken up, I would start over. So obviously this is all kind of unrealistic to baseball itself, but in no way is this cheating. All of this is just trying to maximize my chances within the game's capabilities, and should be perfectly acceptable as per the rules provided.

Just a warning for anyone possibly considering getting this game just because of this chance, there are some states that it's not possible in.

VOID IN AZ, CT, MD, ND, VT AND WHERE PROHIBITED

Pointless...you just know somebody's going to break street on it anyway.

Interesting marketing strategy with this whole thing. If it's a true all-star difficulty setting and they get all the other settings locked down this is not going to be an easy thing for anyone to pull off. And they wouldn't be offering a million dollars if they weren't prepared for every possible exploit.

That said, I would think modded consoles could still pose a threat to the legitimacy of this contest.

Of course people will, but since they send me free games.


Say i throw a perfect game and win the million bucks.then what?do you know how bad it would be for them if i was the one to do it. Ooh he's a moderator and he knows people at 2K. he got the game early so he had the advantage.

If someone gets it early and wins the million and the game didnt come directly from 2K sports but through a retailer, they take 0 heat on it.

That's why they have the restriction on it being at 12:01 AM on the day of release... but then again I had the same question of... do they track this thing by your trophy/achievement? Is there something with MLB Today where it won't be accessible in the same way it will be at midnight on the 2nd? Otherwise, somebody could make attempts before then, and then just send in the recording later.

I thought this contest thing was a joke when I first read it.

1 million dollars!?! Really?

---------------

Prediction: They will need a patch to fix the contest feature. Mark my words! C'mon, 2K.

too bad most gamers will not fall for this. I guarantee you the Winner is a employee of a Video Game Company, Someone will have already shipped the Video before the game is even released. Sorry Folks, This whole deal Stinks like hot garbage.

yeah....some guy who gets the game a week early...will probably play until he is one out away from the perfect game(3 days before anyone else gets their hands on the game).......wait until 12:01....finish up the game and send it in.

Cool gimmick.
Great marketing?...ehh....

Re: Win a Million Dollars, Playing Major League Baseball 2K10

I don't know why we have to record it. Just the last out with the boxscores? It's really gonna suck if I have two outs in the ninth and I gotta pause and set my camera up only to blow it.

Re: Win a Million Dollars, Playing Major League Baseball 2K10

This is just a marketing scam. There will be no winner. Its sad that 2k has to stoop to these type of gimmicks to try and sell their product.

I wouldn't call it a scam... i think this is a brilliant move on 2k's part. They have put out a few really bad baseball games and they are trying to win back some of their fan base that has left them. People will go buy this game just because of this contest, there are a few in this thread alone that have had said such. Good on 2k's marketing department. I won't be buying the game, but I love the move.

Except that wont work, becuase you have to be connected to xbox live and in MLB today. I am pretty sure it will keep the data on things.

I am not saying its impossible to cheat, but there will be alot of investigation going on with looking at all the data.

Like someone said, this is a genius marketing movie. They are giving away someone elses money. They dont really lose at all. Like i said before, there will be a few people that get games early, but its not going to be me and i usually get the games a week early. I said it a efw posts up. They told me, i dont get it early.

If you are connected and they are keeping data, what is the need for video taping?
