2K Sports used to be the bright spot amongst the other sports game franchise producers....No more...
User Rating: 5.3 | Major League Baseball 2K6 X360
MLB 2K6 is nowhere near as good as I thought it was going to be. Apparently, 2K sports has taken a page out of EA's playbook and are now more about hype than quality. The animations in this game are aweful. Fielders appear to be waving at the ball instead of reaching naturally for it. The throws look poor at best. Throwing back across your body is so poorly animated that we laugh every time it happens in a game. While the swing stick addition is nice as well as the new pitcher interface, they do little to make up for the glaring issues with the game. I have attempted to create and play a season 3 times so far. Each time the game froze during the first half inning of the first game of the season forcing me to reboot my XBOX 360. No, I don't have any heat issues and other games are working fine. (accept for NHL 2K6 of course) The graphics, as everyone else has already stated, are beyond sub-par. This game feels rushed and there is no excuse for that given that they are the only third party manufacturer using the MLB license this year. C'mon 2K Sports, get your act together or lose the loyal fans that have supported you since the Dreamcast!
