Excellent Game for Baseball Sim fans, arcade fans stay away
User Rating: 9 | MLB 06: The Show PS2
This game really gives the feel of watching a major league baseball game which can be a good or bad thing depending on if your a true sim fan or someone whos looking to master the art of crushing a home run ball 10x a game, cause thats not the case in this baseball sim. Home Runs are involved with the game but you cant count on the computer realizing any kind of pressure certainty in the game, you might hit one in the first, or you might hit one in the last, which Is why I think the fine points of baseball are so important in this game.
Baserunning, Singles, and most importanly pitching must be mastered in order to be successful in this game under the diffulcult settings, the other settings are useless its simple double.. after double.. after single. no challenge at all.
The franchise is fun but tedious much like youd expect if you were actually running a baseball franchise including media days, giveaway night, ticket prices, upgrades, and so on I stear clear of that stuff and enjoy the gameplay which is absoloutely solid I might add.
