You’ll get a glimpse of the Detroit Tigers ace and video-game cover boy crushing the dreams of a newly ascended rookie in the first trailer for 2K Sports’ baseball sim. Great if you’re playing as Verlander, not so much if you’re facing him.
Major League Baseball 2K12 is widely expected to be in its walk year, the final season of a fat contract going back seven years. Unlike a superstar in the big leagues, this is not a cause for optimism that fans will see an above-average performance.

2K Sports is offering a cool million to the winner of a public, eight-person Major League Baseball 2K12 tournament… this April. From the MLB’s Opening Day on April 4 (definitely learned something just now) to the end of that cheerfully prank-filled month, athletes (read: gamers) will be clawing their way to the top of the leaderboards, where a spot in the tourney awaits.
