A Collection of Video Evidence Proving ‘MLB 2K9′ is the Worst Game of the Decade

[youtube url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbIVUgW0t0o]

Warning: Harsh language from an angry gamer.

Normally, when a game turns out to be “bad,” it’s either a pretty good game that just fell short of expectations (The Force Unleashed) or it’s just a poorly conceived project to begin with and never should have seen the light of day (Kayne and Lynch: Dead Men), but when I heard such a roar of complaints about a new game in an established franchise like the MLB 2K series, I began to wonder what was up.

Something bad happened with this game. I’m not sure if it was rushed to production (though they know they have to put out a new one every year) or if the dev team was just taking a whole lot of drugs when they were bug testing the thing, but MLB 2K9 is one of the most broken games ever to be released to the mainstream public, and fans are taking to YouTube to express their anger about it.

Below I’ve assembled a collection of these videos made by players documenting the various bugs and glitches that make the game unplayable. The most popular one is on the top of this post, and already has 300K+ views. Hit the jump for a bunch more, and contribute your own theories as to what exactly 2K was smoking when they made this.

    This made my day.

    LOL. I love the outfielder rolling around at the warning track.

    Bunt home run is hilarious too.

    All those videos were hilarious, I really appreciate them, what annoyed me was all the kids whining in the background bashing the devs, c’mon!

    When I was a kid we had little dots bouncing around the and you have the option about about 5 different plays. I haven’t played a video ball game in awhile but these graphics and game play there looks pretty sick. I always expect glitches.

    About Me

    After rising to blogging fame as the University of Michigan's answer to Gossip Girl, I took the EIC job at a student blog network spreading my wealth of college experience across the nation. My passion project is a movie/tv/gaming site called Unreality and I'm a movie news editor at JoBlo.com. I'm new to this business, and I think I'm a part of the first generation of journalists to skip print media entirely. When I started out, I had zero idea blogging could be a career, but I've learned more in the last ten months than I did in four years of college. What exactly did I major in again?
