The popular 2K Sports MLB franchise has had its ups and downs over the year, but it has definitely become one of my favorite things to look forward to in March. This year, on March 2nd, MLB 2K10 will be available in stores for $59.99. However, 2K Sports is trying a new publicity stunt by giving $1,000,000 to the first person who throws a perfect game.

The game will be available on 360, Wii, and PS3. The $1,000,000 contest is only available to those on the 360 or PS3 though. You can get the contest details here.

Also, this year’s game has a couple new features with it. The first is the My Player mode, similar to the “Road to the Show” gameplay mode in MLB: The Show. There will also be an MLB Today feature that lets you play the same games that are going on in the MLB today, with the same pitchers and starting lineups. This will also help with commentary, because if players go on hot streaks in the real MLB, the commentary will mention their current real-life MLB stats.

Overall, this game is going to be a pretty fun play, but the franchise overall seems a little sloppy. I like to take this game on a year-by-year basis, and I wasn’t too happy with MLB2K9.

Hopefully things will be a little better this year.
