With no competition 2k sports seemed to rush through development and cut many corners
This year the game is filled with terrible glitches. For instance while playing outfield if say my left fielder is about to catch a pop fly in left center, the center fielder will run into my left fielder and they drop the ball. It is not every once in a while either, it happens many times during a game sometimes.
The game-play is not bad. Nothing seems really new about it. It keeps you entertained for a while and the franchise mode is always fun. The trading cards feature is a good idea but it doesn't really do anything. Graphically it was disappointing. The player animation are sometimes sloppy and you can really tell they did not spend much time improving them. The "sweat" on a tired players face is laughable.
Overall this game is fun if you are a baseball game fan. It offers pretty much everything previous baseball sims offered, but does little to improve on the genre.
