    At the core, MLB 2K6 has the makings of becoming a very successful franchise, especially with EA banished to the college ranks. Hitting and pitching controls are excellent, but improved defensive movement and base running control are still needed. Read more

    Well, I hope I got everything there. I really wanted to like this game, and for the first few hours I did, it's just the unfair A.I. and terrible controls made me wish I never bought this game. Read more

    As the exclusive and official Major League Baseball multi-platform video game, Major League Baseball 2K6 includes innovative features such as a new movement system and realistic player collisions on the infield and outfield. New broadcast elements include flashback replays, and a unique player morale system will unfold the drama like never before in a baseball video game. The World Baseball Classic is featured exclusively in Major League Baseball 2K6. [2K Sports] Read more

  4. 2K Sports adds spot-on scouting and new mechanics to their game, but still manages to feel like a compromised effort.

    MLB 2K6 tries a lot of new things, and it's bound to happen that some, such as the physics, don't succeed. We applaud the effort. But most games will have you shaking your head (if not cursing) at the fielding. That's a huge letdown when the pitching and batting interaction is as strong as that of MLB 2K6 . Inside Edge is such a fantastic addition that fans have to see it in action. Just don't expect this one to be knocked out of the park. Read more

    MLB 2K6 offers up a solid game of baseball with some strong pitching and batting elements, though it's hampered by several flaws. Read more

    I dont think the game is that bad but they could aprove the swing stick even if I do use the A button to swing. also the players even dont look like the player in real life. all they do is put there number and name in there shirts ans say thats them. Read more
