(More customer reviews)MLB 06: The Show, is without a doubt the best baseball game on the market. However, it does have some very aggravating flaws that will takes some getting used to. Among other things, players have a habit of advancing to second base on their own, even if there is a runner on second that is not moving, or if they just hit an infield single. I can't begin to tell you how many outs of lost because of this. Another annoying glitch is the frequency of wild pitches. Once you get used to the controls, there are less, but there are still an unrealistic amount. When you're first getting used to the game, it will seem like every time you throw a slider it's a wild pitch.
Now, enough of the negative stuff! Let's talk about why this is the best baseball game on the market today.
Graphics: 10/10 The graphics are amazing in comparison to any other baseball game I have played. I played 2K5 last year, and I though it's graphics were excellent, but The Show will just amaze you in comparison. Player movements are much less choppy.
Gameplay: 8/10 As I have already stated, there are some glitches in the gameplay that can be really annoying. But one other annoying thing about this and EVERY baseball game that has come out in the last 2 years is that you can't slide into first. It's acctually just impossible. Why this is I have no idea, as in all of my really old games you had this capability, but not here. Really weird. Still, the gameplay is a lot of fun and very realistic. You will no longer hit a home run every time you come up to bat, you have to acctually keep your eye on the ball and aim your swing.
Extra Game modes: 11/10 This is what makes the Show stand out above the crowd. This is the only baseball game out that has an ACTUAL HOME RUN DERBY! 2K5 only had some game where you saw how many homers you could hit in a specific time period, but The Show has the actual derby from the all star game. 10 outs, anything other than a HR is an out, multiple rounds etc. This mode is especially fun to play with friends. King of the Diambond is also an interesting mode, in which you chose one batter and one pitcher and play an arcade style game with ghost sunners and bonuses.
Franchise: 10/10 Amazing, and I absolutely love the stadium management stuff where you can set food and ticket prices and even advertise games and hold "bat day" or "bobblehead day".
Career: 10/10 This is Baseball's answer to John Madden Football's "superstar mode". You create a player and guide him through the minor leagues with the eventual goal of makeing "the show".
Overall: 9/10 All in all, MLB 06: The Show is an outstanding baseball video game. I highly reccomend it, but there are some glitches that can get very annoying at times, so be warned. In reference to the review above which states that the game has problems with lockups ("freezing"), I have had the game for over a month and have never experienced a problem.
