No, it will have only MLB players in it. 2K Sports would have to get permission from the NPB, KBO, CPBL, and all of the other respective leagues and their respective player associations too.

No, it will only have MLB players that are playing on different teams. For example, David ortiz will be be on the dominican republic team as with Ramirez and Castilla will be on the mexican team.

It will mostly consist of Japanese players in the MLB even though they are not playing in the WBC tournament.

Like Hideki Matsui, Kaz Matsui, Iguchi, Ohtska, ect. They had the same thing in MLB2K5.

Still though they're isn't even 30 Japanese players in the majors, or at every position either.

Current Japanese players in the Majors(as of today)

C- Kenji Johjima(Mariners)
2B- Tadahito Iguchi(White Sox)
SS- Kaz Matsui(Mets)
OF- Ichiro Suzuki(Mariners)
So Taguchi(Cardinals)
Hideki Matsui(Yankees)
P- Mac Suzuki(A's)- Non-roster invitee
Tomokazu Ohka(Brewers)
Shinji Mori(Devil Rays)
Kazuhito Tadano(Indians)
Yusaku Iriki(Mets)
Akinori Ohtsuka(Rangers)
Keiichi Yabu(Rockies)- Non-roster invitee

Players such as Hideo Nomo and Shingo Takatsu are free agents(Nomo is a six year minor league free agent). Masao Kida and Kazuhisa Ishii signed with the Yakult Swallows. Shigetoshi Hasegawa retired not too long ago. Also, Norihiro Nakamura left the Dodgers to play with the Orix Buffaloes. So, I don't see how they could even fill out every position.

I think it will be just fine in major leauge baseball 2K6 with Eric Chaves at 3rd base for team USA is really cool but David Ortiz ( Big Papi ) isn't at DH for team Dominican Republic. But I heard that there is fake players in the world baseball classic tournament. But my biggest suprise in the wbc is the starting left and right fielders for team Dominican Republic is Manny Ramirez and Vladimir Guerro.
