2K6 tries to be a flashy over the top arcade style baseball game. But in the end, it falls flat on it's face.

User Rating: 6.3 | Major League Baseball 2K6 X360
By greedygoblin | Review Date:
It was announced last summer that Take-Two had acquired exclusive rights to the 3rd Party MLB Licence. This basically meant that MLB would be the only baseball game for consoles. (Excluding MLB:06 The Show, which is Sony's.) This led to major dissagrements and fights to see if MLB 2K6 could make us forget about MVP. But unfortunatley, this only makes us think of what MVP could have been on Next-Gen consoles.

**GAMEPLAY**
The Gameplay in 2K6 is decent. They have redone the Pitching and hitting. The brand new hit stick feature adds a little bit to the formula, but it will take a while to get used to. The pitching really isn't that great, and can be real confusing when you first try it. The fielding is almost EXACTLY the same as it was in 2K5. Which is a real bummer, because the fielding last time sucked.

**GRAPHICS**
The Graphics In 2K6 Are alright. Unless you have an HD TV. This will look like nothing more than a simple PS2 game. And you'll keep asking yourself how this is a 360 game.

**Sound**
Just to say, th sound sucks. The commentary is EXACTLY the same as last year, and definitly lacks flavor. The announcers are from ESPN, but they mostly sound boring and unexciting. Oh and the just to say, THE MUSIC SUCKS!!!! There's just no other way to put it. You especially know it sucks when you have songs called "1234" and "Drip Drip" and that is all that is in the songs. Drip Drip goes drip drip and 1234 goes 1234. This really makes you miss the great soundtracks EA Sports used to put together for MVP.
**Value**
Overall, 2K6 does have great value. There are plenty of modes that will keep you busy for a long time. It will take about 2 days to get through all of the game modes. But most of them are features from last year's game. Although it does include a World Baseball Classic Mode. It is pretty good but is not all that great.

**Overall**
Overall, 2K6 is a almost decent, but overall bland game of baseball. If you're looking for realisim, it's sadly not hear. This is more of an arcade styled game then anything. And like I said before, this game will only make you think of the potential that MVP Baseball could have had on Next-Gen consoles.
