MLB 2K baseball series canceled
The final game in the series was MLB 2K13, a game that was panned critically for its stark similarities to its predecessor, MLB 2K12. The confirmation of the series' closure comes after the publisher took steps to remove the brand from its various pages – an indicator that it no longer has the appropriate licensing obligations to fulfill.
As pointed out by Pastapadre, 2K Sports recently took down its Facebook page for the series, videos from its YouTube page and forwarded each landing page for games in the series to its global 2K website. Of the few MLB-branded pages that remain are a few of the game's online manuals, though it's uncertain how long those will be available to view.
Being that 2K Sports was the only company delivering a simulation baseball game for Microsoft's Xbox 360, thanks to an exclusive third-party licensing agreement it signed with the MLB, the Xbox One will be without a Major League Baseball game for the time being. The MLB: The Show series is developed by Sony's San Diego studio, which will launch MLB 14: The Show this spring on PS3, PS4 and Vita.

I'm going to miss the glitches in the 2K baseball games. Nothing like coming up to bat without a bat.

I bought MLB 2k13, and it was so hard to play I just quit playing it. I think it was about time to end it honestly.

Laze I only played MLB Once, even then it was boring so this is nothing to me.
Yah it can be boring but if you play against your friend it can be really fun.

Well you got a point there but I still like them.
