So ESPN previews the 2007 baseball season by playing a simulated season on MLB 2K7. The team-by-team write-ups include stuff like "90 speed" and "77 overall" and "surprise Cy Young winner" or whatever. But then, in the Phillies section, we find this:
Team leader Chase Utley (the No. 1 ranked 2B in the game) plays with lots of heart.
The video game character Chase Utley plays with lots of heart.
Not the dude. Not Chase.
Digital Chase Utley. Chase Utley 2K7 -- he's the one who plays with a lot of heart.
Sorry everybody -- I forgot to make the obligatory "99 whiteness" joke.
ReplyDeleteEagle-eyed reader Michael M. notes that the simulated playoffs include a best-of-seven Divisional Series.
ReplyDeleteWhich is not a thing.
