    Concept: Easy pitching has sucked the life and challenge out of this year's game Graphics: Animation hiccups abound, but player models details are still top notch Sound: The play-by-play calls are right on the money Playability: The pitching and batting mechanics have been simplified too much Entertainment: People that didn't like last year's game might enjoy this one Replay: High Read more

    From 1951 to 2000, one in every 158 homeruns were inside the park homeruns, which are even more rare these days. Roberto Clemente has had one of the most rare inside-the-park homeruns in MLB history as he hit a walk-off inside-the-park grand slam to help the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Chicago Cub 9-8 on July 25, 1956.

    We’ve rarely been so conflicted about a baseball game, but MLB 2K9 is a paradox. It’s undeniably fun and accessible, offering plenty of addictive options for hardball fans. It also suffers from too many gaffes that are impossible to ignore. With stiff competition in MLB 09 The Show, 2K9 is fighting an uphill battle this spring.  There’s no doubt we’re well on our way to playing a full 162-game campaign, but we were hoping for a more complete experience this...

    2K Sports pretty much did a reboot from last years title. And I really think it was for the better. Some of the new additions really work but they still have a few things to fix (most notable the bugs here and there). If you own a Xbox 360 system then right now this is the only baseball game in town until “The Bigs 2″ hits. If you are a Sony Playstation 3 owner it is safe to say that most of you will be settling for the popular franchise title “The Show 09″. One... Read more

    This was my First 2k game and i was dissapointed the grahics were not worked on enough and the gameplay was hard to understand.  It is like you hit the ball or you don't, it goes far or slides 5 feeet to pither mound. It was fun for a little bit when i had tried it out but after a couple of days it ended up really boring and not what i expected at all. I was uneasy to go buy another 2k sports game afte that but NBA2k9 turned out ok other than the double achivnment... Read more
