MLB 2K13's Perfect Game Challenge Begins Today
MLB 2K13's fourth annual Perfect Game Challenge officially kicks off at today at 9 AM PT, and runs through April 30. The rules are a little different this year. One player won't be walking away with a million dollars. Here's what 2K Sports has planned:
"Contestants can compete to win up to 30 $25,000 prize pools ($750,000 total), one per MLB team. Not only that, the four contestants with the top-rated perfect games thrown with any team will move on to the Perfect Game Challenge Tournament during MLB All-Star Week in New York for the $250,000 grand prize. For the second year in a row, 2K Sports’ proprietary algorithm will rank individual perfect games based on difficulty (such as the opposing team’s offensive prowess and selected pitcher’s skill) and degree of perfection (such as number of strikeouts and pitching efficiency)."
I detailed 15 reasons why this year's game may make the Perfect Game Challenge a little bit more difficult than last year. To those who are stepping up the challenge, good luck! If you have any good stories that pop up during the challenge, please send them our way.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
