Even if the visuals & presentation weren't garbage, this is a sub-par baseball game.....at best.
Thankfully, the gameplay is solid. When I say, "solid", that can be taken two ways. First off, it could be a compliment since the game plays a decent game of ball. On the flip side of that coin, the game gives you zero "Wow" factor in anything it does on the field. The audio is ok, with the great tandem of Jon Miller & Joe Morgan calling the game. They do a good job, but they repeat way too much stuff. I really like the backgroud crowd noise, however. It does it's best to make it feel like you are actually at the ballpark. The music selection here sucks, as usual. I actually like the kind of music it has, but the songs just aren't that good.
MLB 2K6 is a crappy game that rides the fact that it's the only MLB license going. Like some of 2K Sports other first-generation offerings, this game is an insult to gamers and should've been improved A LOT more before letting this thing ship. Even if you are going for the easy achievements, don't bother buying this turd. Save your money and go see your favorite team play in real life.
