Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. is the exclusive manufacturer of MLB licensed video games. With that there should be a dedication to the consumer to provide them with a phenomenal product. On March 2, 2009 2K Sports MLB 2K9 was released for a MSRP of $59.99 (Microsoft Xbox 360/ Sony Playstation 3). The game was highly anticipated after years of continued improvements in all aspects.

Once the game hit the market all that anticipation was met with disappointment by a majority of the people who purchased the game. As it has been posted openly in 2K Sports open forums (property of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.) there are many major flaws that make the game virtually unplayable.

The list of flaws/errors/glitches is far too long to list. The main glitches that make the product virtually unplayable are:
-The fielding errors; specifically in reference to the first baseman coming off the bag or not even attempting to field the throw on routine plays.
-Base running in reference to leads/pickoffs is totally off.
-Injuries are far too common and make the franchise modes unplayable.
-The normal difficulty settings are not realistic and after a few games of unrealistic outcomes it becomes unplayable.
-Online leagues have countless errors when it comes to setting up many aspects of the rosters.
-The AI is far too aggressive at the plate and led to yet more unrealistic statistical outcomes.
There are many more minor flaws/errors/glitches but these are the most commented about problems.

It has been stated that a patch to fix these problems will be made available in the coming weeks, possibly even months. The details of what will be fixed will is not being made available. This is unacceptable! Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. should notify people of what is going to be fixed and exact dates should be given.

This game should never have been released. It is riddled with flaws and the lack of communication that Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. has had with the gaming public is laughable. The only comment that has been made is that some, but not all the problems will be fixed. It is in my opinion that a full refund should be issued to anyone who purchased this game. As the people who pay your bills you owe it to us to put out a great game. With the state of the economy, and more so the gaming industry, extra attention should have been put into this game. You hold the exclusive contract with MLB and I know that they would be disappointed if they knew what all the consumers and even many of the award winning gaming sites were saying about this game. I know there are a good deal of former employees of Electronic Arts that would be thrilled to make an award winning game.. They did it once, and Im sure they could do it again!

With all this being said I feel that Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. should issue a full refund to the people who so feel that one is needed. This game is horrible in not only my opinion, but also a majority of the gaming community. There have been recalls made before and this is one that should be. When a game becomes unplayable then there should be compensation.

I urge you all to sign this petition if you feel that a full refund should be issued to anyone who purchased MLB 2K9 which is produced by Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.

    • I like this game I had mlb 2k8, and this year is better but the little problems do get annoying. I would be more willing to play this game if some of the problems were fixed to make this game more real.

    • refund....please...you're going to ruin it for the rest of us. The more people like you complain the less of a chance us fans have a receiving a patch for the small glitches in the gameI have played 20 gms and in each one throw around 100 pitches with like 2 walks. oh ya, i play pro ball and know exactly how to play the gm. hit ur corners, don't throw so many strikes, and they won't swing so much, mix up ur pitches not 1,2,3,4, mix em up but throw like u would in a real gm, oh ya, ur just a computer nerd, not a ballplayer so u have no idea...my bad. stop complaining about a game, it needs a couple things dun but ur being ridiculous, a refund? rent it first, everyone knows that.

    • The game is Thrash! There are tons of problems, all of which are included in this petition. Personally I could work around them, annoying as they are, But the FREEZEING makes the game completely UN-PLAYABLE!!!

    • I LOVED MLB 2K8, but this game has SO MANY ERRORS. All the stats are wrong, sometimes when you play a game, they record the wrong stats for your players, it never tells you how far you hit a homerun, it is near impossible to steal (even with 100 speed), it locks up A LOT, too many injuries, allstar feels like easy, etc... there are WAY TOO MANY ERRORS and something should be done about this!

    • I absolutely HATE how you cannot hide your pitches, and just thinking about it makes me frustrated and angry just because I can do nothing to change it and it really does make the game unplayable, especially with others.

    • i am a very big fan if ea sports games but they no longer have a contract for mlb. thus said the only available baseball game for 360 is mlb 2k9. im very disappointed in this game. i stop playing it after the first game. i know i wont get my money back but maybe 2k sports can release themselves from contract so ea can get back in. either that or fix the game for 2010 and provide a voucher for the people suckered into buying this game. you owe it to us . the people you make your money from. if you continue to make games of thus quality you wont be in business very much longer.

    • I love playing baseball games, but this one is just unplayable. It constantly freezes in franchise mode, and the other glitches are equally annoying. I don't want to wait around for a patch. I shouldn't have to. You should have made it right in the first place.
