Incredibly realistic presentation and gameplay with a simply amazing franchise mode!
When I first got the game I found the controls awkward, but after watching the tutorials and playing a few games I found out that it was really great. I feel that I'm more in the game than in previous baseball games in that I have more control and it just feels real.
My favorite feature of this game is the learning difficulty. Basically the game's difficulty can be described as a see-saw. As you master the game the difficulty starts to rise so things stay interesting. In 2k3 I could win 50 games without losing a single one, which got dull. In 2k6 things feel realistic and teams fight back rather than just taking a beating.
The graphics are really nice, although there are some minor glitches they don't hurt the experience at all. The looks add a lot of realism to the game and the environments are sweet.
I really recommend this game for a realistic and fun baseball experience. If you are into simulation type games this is a definite pick for you.
