Today, Roy Halladay will be named the NL Cy Young Award winner, his first in the National League and second overall ('03 AL in Toronto). But yesterday, by way of the 2K Sports Facebook page, he was announced as the cover athlete for MLB 2K11, due out this spring on the XBox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, and PC.
Now, Roy is certainly deserving of a video game cover. He led the Majors in wins, was in the top 5 in both ERA and strikeouts, pitched a perfect game and only the second no-hitter in postseason history. The real question will be if MLB 2K11 is good enough for him. The last 3 years, 2K has released broken games, missing key features (like injuries or errors) and proving to be unstable (lost saves, game crashes, bad collision detection). Last year's iteration, 2K10, was lightyears better than 2K9, but it was still a bad game. Let's hope that 2K11 can finally stand in MLB The Show's shadow instead of about 3 miles away in a ditch. I'm pulling for you, 2K, I really am. At least until EA's MVP Baseball comes back.
