MLB 2k9 for the Xbox 360 is the kind of game you can force yourself to like, and then love. The games glitches are beyond frustrating, but you can learn to deal with them and how the game wants you to perform certain maneuvers. Fly balls will go through your outfielders body unless you get a hold of how the game wants your player positioned underneath the ball. I haven't found a way to fully eliminate the first-basemen stepping off the bag error that happens way too much, but I can generally deal with it.
The game is not bad by any means. The graphics are pretty good. The commentating is well done. The batting mechanics are addictive and the game has more staying power than previous versions. That's what I don't get about the gamespot ranking, unless they simply just don't agree with me at all. I hated last years, enjoyed 2k7, but love this one way beyond 2k7. You'll have to try it, I'm not easily deterred by glitches.
