Survey suggests Evan Longoria will be MLB 2K10 coverboy photo

The Tampa Bay Rays may have missed out on the playoffs this year, but the team’s third baseman, Evan Longoria (no relation to actress Eva Longoria) may be cashing in on his two very good years in the major leagues. A confidential survey asked respondents to choose between four potential Xbox 360 covers for 2K Sports’ Major League Baseball 2K10, and each version of the box art features Longoria.

A survey taker broke the survey’s NDA by sending images of it (and the covers themselves) to Kotaku; you can see two of the four options above (hit the gallery below for all of them). Of course, you should take this with a grain of salt -- we haven’t yet heard anything official from 2K Sports regarding this leak. But note that all of the cover artwork sports (*rimshot*) the same golden “1999-2009 Tenth Anniversary” banner that appeared on NBA 2K10 and NHL 2K10.

Longoria earned the 2008 AL Rookie of the Year award after a stellar campaign in which he made the All-Star team, and this year, he repeated as an AL All-Star and even won a Gold Glove. Personally, I’m a fan of the bottom left image (above left) -- Longoria reminds me too much of Ben Affleck in the top two shots, and that’s never a good thing. Which one do you prefer?

Yeah I'm also picturing Eva Longoria on the cover of a baseball videogame and finding it hilarious.

She better be an unlockable character. better yet, make the cast of Desperate Housewives and unlockable team in the game.

Yeah I not only read it as Eva but I thought it was Eva with a typo until I read the story.

Dammit.

In all seriousness though, the one on the left looks much better.

It's a good thing you mentioned he has no relation to Eva Longoria, because that is the only thing I thought of when I saw that header.

I was going to add a slightly humorous comment but instead found a series of hilarious one liners that put mine to shame.

Well played sirs, well played... =(^.^)=

Hey 2K if you graphics look like MLB THE SHOW, I will consider buying your game. Otherwise DON'T BOTHER MAKING IT. I have been converted, MLB: The Show is ridiculous. Maybe the best graphics of any game out there, the players look identical to the real players 99% of the time. It's almost unbelievable how good it looks.
