Angry Fire No online play?

I have been looking for a good baseball game for my Xbox. One with multiplayer. I just read a review at Gamespot on MVP Basball 2004. The only version of the game that has online play is the PS2 version! Why on earth would they do that? Xbox Live is much more established and is a much better system than the PS2's. It makes me mad. It's the first good baseball game with online play and the online play is only on PS2.

Probably Lazy Developers. They will probably add online capabilities for x-box.

...how? unless they make a new game, there is no way to add anything without the live in the first place.

The developers signed an exclusive deal with Sony so that only PS2 gets online games. it will probally stay that way until the contract runs out.

There aren't many games that are exclusive to the PS2 anymore but if they keep the exclusive online thing up people will get mad. Frankly, the PS2 online service sucks. It was an afterthought. Plus you have to buy a $50 adapter to use it and some games need the $100 hard drive.

Some games need the harddrive?

Not true. Only one game I know of needs the harddrive - Final Fantasy XI.
