2K Sports really wants to sell lots of copies of its forthcoming rounders, sorry, baseball game: Major League Baseball 2K10. It's offering $1,000,000 to the first person to throw a verified perfect game.
This would never have happened back in the bad old days when you could simply hack into World of Baseball and bingo! $1,000,000.
A rather confused Evan Longoria, All-Star third baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays team comments, "This is the chance of a lifetime, and I’m excited to see fans really try to go for it in Major League Baseball 2K10. I just hope they don’t try against the Rays, because my teammates and I aren’t going to make it easy on them." Erm, you're not actually playing old son.
The deal is that the challenge begins March 2, 2010 at 12:01 AM PST and ends on on May 1, 2010 at 11:59 PM PDT.
Hold up, we're not sure how long the real life baseball season is (apparently it's March to October, correct us if we're wrong) but it's got to be longer than two months.
Anyway, here's the skinny:
"To compete, gamers must play in MLB Today mode, select from any of the available matchups, and then choose the option to participate in the ‘Major League Baseball 2K10 contest’ that will automatically default to the proper gameplay settings according to the official gameplay rules.
"Entries must be recorded via camera or digital video recorder in compliance with guidelines provided by 2K in the Official Rules, and all eligible entrants must submit a copy of their recording in its entirety for verification. Submissions will only be accepted on DVD. To ensure accuracy in the verification and submission process, 2K Sports has partnered with Twin Galaxies International, the worldwide authority on video game world records, and provider of scores to Guinness World Records that are published in the Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition."
