Major League Baseball 2k6 was one of the games that I bought when I first bought my Xbox 360. Now it had been a long time since I had last played a baseball game, so I was curious to see how the game would play. I've always had a problem with baseball games in the control department. It seemed like I was always throwing the ball to the wrong base and it really irritated me. Luckily I never really had a problem with the controls. That was until I was up to bat, and the swing mechanics threw me off. Once you get used to them however you get a better feel for the swing mechanics than you would if you just pressed the A button to swing the bat.

The graphics are probably the best part of Major League Baseball 2k6. The character models for the most part look almost exactly like the real person, some however look absolutely nothing like the real life player. The sound department is quite iffy as well. Not only are the announcers somewhat annoying, but they are constantly pronouncing players names wrong and after a while it drives you crazy.

Well if you are buying this 2k6 game now, chances are you will not find anyone to play with online. The game however offers a long franchise mode, and playing with a friend is just as fun as it is over Xbox Live. Just be patient with them while they are learning the swing mechanics or you will totally own them in this game. Thats not such a bad thing I guess though. If you are looking for a cheap baseball game then Major League Baseball 2k6 is a game that most certainly should check out.
