Sometimes the weirdest news comes at the weirdest time - out of nowhere, 2K Sports has announced MLB Stickball for Xbox Live Arcade, and it’ll be arriving on October 8 for 800 Microsoft Points.
In MLB® Stickball, gamers can buy and collect packs of Topps “Big Head” Major League Baseball cards. Each time a pack is opened, those players are unlocked and added to each Major League team to play!
Part of the fun of stickball is the custom rules for each city, just like the rules kids create when they play in their own neighborhoods! MLB® Stickball can be played on the streets of a number of big cities, including New York, San Francisco and Boston. In addition to scoring runs in the stickball game itself, there will be objects scattered throughout each environment that serve as targets or hazards for the batter. Smack the ball off the fire hydrant and get it to spray water into the street and your team will be richly rewarded; break a window, though, and you’re out!
This game could be very fun or very bad - and maybe it’ll be like MLB Power Pros - which is published by 2K Sports - and not like MLB 2K8 Fantasy All-Stars which is published by… 2K Sports.
