Take Two in Talks with Major League Baseball 129

Posted by Zonk from the hit-back-with-a-bat dept.
After EA's ESPN announcement yesterday, it hardly comes as a surprise that GamesIndustry.biz is reporting a possible deal between Take Two Interactive and Major League Baseball. The deal, first reported in the Wall Street Journal, appears to be for exclusivity rights similar to EA's arrangements. While the move wouldn't hurt EA's baseball franchise, it would squeeze out other competitors who have used the MLB license in the past.

    Why not? EA won't be able to use real players in their baseball games. That will definately hurt them.

      They would need an exclusive deal with the MLB Player's Association to keep EA from using real player names.

      A deal with MLB would just prevent them from using the Team names. Anybody remember Tecmo Baseball on the NES?

      • I remember the Hardball series didn't have an MLB license, so they just city names, but team logos (And colors) were different.

        It was no big deal to Hardball fans, as we had the real players.
    • I, for one, look forward eagerly to the day that EA promises, when a major league baseball gane pits a team of human pros against a team of robots controlled by WWW interfaces. Between the thrashing of the pitcher as various people all try to make him throw their favorite pitch at once, the outfielders dancing, and the infield insanity (catcher goosing the umpire, 1st baseman mooning the batter, etc.), ML baseball will become the hottest comedy around!

    I don't know what the numbers are like, but i'm guessing this isn't as big of a deal as the NFL contract...something tells me that there are a whole lot more copies of Madden and ESPN2kX football being purchased then that are of MVP Baseball and it's cometitors...

    one thing i don't get though...the article says that
    "A deal between MLB and Take Two wouldn't change EA's plans in the area, though, as EA doesn't use the MLB branding on its baseball title, MVP Baseball - but smaller rivals in the sector would certainly be squeezed out, such as Sony's MLB range, the latest iteration of which is due out in March."
    ...but EA Sports [easports.com] titles would certainly be hurt, right? sure, they don't use the name MLB 2004, (like NBA Live and NHL 2004 titles) but they do use all of the players, and teams, and stadiums, etc...i would have to assume that if the exclusive deal went through, they would lose the right to all that content? right?...

    Somewhat related to this is the fact that just announced today [go.com] MLB awarded exclusive rights to fantasy games to MLB's own MLB Advanced Media that controls MLB.com...presumably this means that other baseball fantasy game companies (ESPN, Sandbox, CBSSportsline, etc) would have to buy licenses from MLBAM in order to run fantasy games...

      Depending on the details of the sports collective bargaining agreement - licensing of league properties (team names/logos, stadia) may be separate from that of the players names.

      I know this has been the case with MLB in other areas. Ever gotten those free baseball cards in a cereal box or something? You know, the ones with the team logos airbrushed off the players' caps. That was because the company producing the cards had permission from the players union, but not MLB.

        Generally in MLB, the players union controls licensing of player names, including for video games. Since Barry Bonds pulled out of the union to have control of his own licensing, video games have replaced him with fictional versions. Other players (like Kerry Lightenberg, formerly of the Braves) have long been replaced with fictional versions in video games because they were banned from the union. (Lightenberg and others crossed the picket line during the '94 strike, thus the ban.)

    I think this endrun to sign exclusive deals is detrimental to the sports electronic gaming industry (admittely not my favorite but I enjoy the occasional game of EA curling as much as the next person). Exclusive deals lead to single lines of games. Exclusive deals curtail the inventive process and remove competition. It's not that this hurts EA, it's how this hurts consumers.

    This is starting to sound like what I put up with anytime I go online to play football.

    No one likes losing, so a large group of people start cheating in order to win.

    So the people who don't like the cheaters wind up having to learn to cheat themselves in order to keep the cheaters honest.

    Outcome? No one wins. No one can get an honest game.

    This is degenerating into a rights-grab, and only one company per sport will have rights.

    I can hear the whiny-children in my head:

    EA: Wha! He beat me. I don't like losing. I know! I'll cheat!

    While the move wouldn't hurt EA's baseball franchise ...

    A lot of you are wondering why it wouldn't hurt EA any more than anyone else. Of course, it would, but remember - we're supposed to hate EA.

    If we admitted that this could "hurt" EA, in the same way EA's deals could hurt Take Two (et al), we're admitting that competition in the video game market is alive and well, and that exclusive rights are par for the course in the industry.

    Activision has exclusive rights to make Spiderman games, but you don't see any articles about that, do you?

    So basically, just think of EA as Microsoft, and Take Two as Apple.

    DRM in Media Player is an affront to our rights online, and threatens our very freedom. DRM in iTunes is a brilliant business strategy from a company that "gets it". Or, MSFT pursuing action againt mikerowesoft.com (even though they HAVE to defend trademarks) was evil, but Apple suing a kid for passing on a rumor about the mini mac, well that's different because, umm, iPods have neato little scroll wheel things.

    I hope this clears things up. Slashdot is best read and understood when peering through your navel, with your head shoved far up your ass.
    • Thank you for the unique perspective. You hit the nail right on the head.
    • Let's say Marvel had been allowing multiple companies to make competing spiderman games for years. Several games were improving year after year, drawing large fan-bases (we'll call it customer-bases for those only concerned with money) to each product, and a superior product every year.

      Now, this year, after being beat senseless by competitor X, Activision slaps Marvel with a wad of cash and basically says "we're tired of being beat senseless and actually having to work for our money, give us exclusive rig
      • It's exactly the same thing.

        Konami, Capcom, and others have all made Marvel games in the past. Now it's just Activision. Because Activision/Neversoft backed a dumptruck full of cash to their door.

        Every movie has a video game tie-in, and the maker of the game has exclusive video-game rights.

        Exclusive deals for characters, and branding, are pretty much the backbone of the video game industry.

        EA had exclusive deals with all the major leagues back in the 90s. So they got some new deals. Big whoop. It's

Most football video game players and not video game nuts. they're football nuts. they want to play as their favorite team. they want simulation. they want the game to be as close to what they watch on sunday as possible. for major league sports video games licensing is key. why even try unless you're going to get that license.
          • Most football video game players and not video game nuts. they're football nuts.

            I disagree, I'd say at best it's an even mix. I like playing football games, and I don't think I could name more than three current professional players, and even then, I couldn't tell you who they play for.

            I like the game of football a lot, however I don't care for the NFL.

            There's a big market that just wants the best game, whatever that means to them (best looking, best playing, best online experience).
    • Its not so much the idea of an exclusive contract that bothers me. Its the end around they did to secure the market. I know, I live in a polyanne world, but I thought that a person||company could win the market by making a superior product.

      And competition is NOT alive and well in the football video genre. What insentive does EA have to improve? If you want a pro football game, you have to go to EA. The next version of Madden will probably be just a re-hash of this year's version, with roster updates.

    • From the article: "A deal between MLB and Take Two wouldn't change EA's plans in the area, though, as EA doesn't use the MLB branding on its baseball title, MVP Baseball - but smaller rivals in the sector would certainly be squeezed out, such as Sony's MLB range, the latest iteration of which is due out in March."

      Maybe you, and they, wouldn't be wondering about why it wouldn't hurt EA if you read the article before commenting. Way to totally call me on my summarizing, dude.
      • Wait a second, branding is the most important thing to a sports franchise. How could EA have ever survived without MLB branding in the past?

        EA is still selling an unbranded product, while the slashbot wisdom would say that Take Two has a "monopoly advantage" because they have a branded product. It still affects EA the same way it affects anyone else, in a very small and inconsequential way.

      Now I finally understand where the term "navel gazing" comes from.

        Not saying this is the case, just saying that the competition has been happening, and one company is debatably the short-term victor. Debatably, because most financial institutions are guessing EA overpaid for the NFL license.

    I think that sports and player stats should be Public Domain. Given that premise, I don't believe it should be possible for anyone to have "exclusive rights" to any simulator based said sports and player stats.


    I don't think anyone would consider it reasonable for Boeing to give Microsoft "exclusive rights" to simulate their aircraft. That would be stupid. Motor racing teams and racing tracks haven't set up "exclusive deals" on who can do what.


    I might not be able to call a simulator "official", but if I wanted to write a game based on the Silverstone track and the typical behaviour of the various Formula 1 cars, I don't think anyone would seriously complain. And that's for a sport with a turnover ten times that of major league baseball.


    Lock-ins are no good for the sport, as people are LESS likely to buy over-priced, over-hyped products in the long run, which means there's going to be a decay in interest over time.


    If games manufacurers are so lacking in confidence that they can compete, they need to spend more money on development and less on "special deals" with organizers.

    • It's not the player stats, it's the player names and likenesses that are being licensed. That being said, I don't think it's good for tha gaming industry to have any one company being granted exclusive rights to stuff like this but there's little that can be done about it and still remain fair to all parties involved.
      • Is this the beginning of the end for sports video games? So, now with each MLB and NFL video games with monopolies, does quality suffer eventually? The EA MLB offering from 2004 is quite good, and I would hate to see it just turn into Bad News Baseball. Each companies baseball and football offerings wouldn't be playing on level playing fields. (pardon the sports analogy)
        • Unfortunately, I can't see how it could do otherwise. In an exclusive deal, there's no competition -or- cooperation. There's one product, like it or lump it. So long as it's "good enough" to not actually harm getting a follow-on contract, there's little reason to make it any better. Quality costs money but doesn't necessarily produce more customers. If there is only one sports game to choose from, then they'd already have most of the potential customers.

              This would be similar to the C&C "Secret Missions", MS Flight Sim's "Star Disks", etc., only it would allow components to be added/upgraded, rather than just relying on what was already provided.

Patches were released but the untimely passing of Rich Harvey ended any hope of the franchise growing. What is the rush to release early?
            • The only answer I can think of is that the sooner the game is released, the sooner they can quit paying for development and start earning. It's poor logic, because a game that doesn't work won't sell, but it seems that PHBs believe that a product that is 99% working will earn 99% of the revenue, even if the 1% missing stops it from working at all.
    • Motor racing teams and racing tracks haven't set up "exclusive deals" on who can do what.

      Oh yes they have. Formula 1, Ferrari, NASCAR, Collin McRae, etc. The names of the drivers, the colour of the track surrounds, etc. are certainly targets for lawsuits based on trademarks or "passing off".

    • IANAL, but I believe its not the stats that are at issue, its the names and likenesses. Use Barry Bonds numbers all you want, use his name and/or picture and you are infringing in trademarks and copyrights. These folks don't make their money playing a game, it's from media rights, endorsements, and all the other stuff that makes it more an entertainment event than sports event now.
