Major League Baseball 2K6 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, for the past three years, I have been using EA Sports' "MVP Baseball 2004-2005". I was always pleased with these games and I though they couldn't get any better. This new game produced by 2K Sports, "Major League Baseball 2K6" is a new experience worth the while. After several release delays, I finally got my hands on one to rent. I was pleased by many new features, while some things I was not at happy about. There are many features that this game has that no one has ever seen.
First, let's start with the graphics. The graphics are no where near the calibur that EA Sports provided, but are fine quality. The faces are still pretty close to real-life. Second, the gameplay is much more realistic. The dives, jumps, throws, and gameplay action are much more like those seen in the big leagues. The batting sequences are much more better suited to the players represented in the game. Each player's own personality is built into their own swing, running style, and fielding style.
The pitching features are PHENOMENAL! The new "INSIDER'S EDGE" featurette is incredible. Like real-life, the catcher will make the calls of what pitch he wants in which location based on the batter's strengths and weaknesses. That makes this game more close to real-life than anything ever seen before. The pitching styles are much more accurate to the real-life counterparts too.
What I really like about this game is how much the gameplay and difficulty is much closer to real-life. For example, in MVP Baseball 2005, I would have the difficulty set to the highest, "MVP" and the statistic numbers were complete fantasy. At the All-star break, half of my players would have 100+ RBIS and my pitchers would be 13-2 with a 1.50 ERA. In this game it is a challenge, which I have been looking for. There is a setting in the game that makes the game even more challenging. I believe it is called "Dynamic difficulty." So if you are pitching and start giving up hits after hits, the computer will start ralying, just like any team would in real life, because the computer gets an andrenaline boost in a sense.
If you want a game as close to real-life as possible, this is the game you want. I am very pleased with this game and am a proud owner of 2K Sports' "Major League Baseball 2K6."
