Major League Baseball 2K6 (Xbox 360, 2006)

Well, let me first start off saying that the game could have been better, but this by no means means that is a bad game. Some people are kind of blowing it out of proportion.

Some have said that this does not look like an Xbox 360 game, I would have to disagree. The stadiums look great. The players also are pretty cool to look at. When I say the players, I mean there body structure. You can tell who is who by the way their body structure looks. This is cool I think. However, you will notice that when you look at there faces, this is where the game falls flat on its face. You wont notice anyone just by looking at there faces. But if you look at there body figure, you will be amazed at how close it is to the real people. Except overweight people, they make them look skinny in this game for some reason, but I guess that is good for them, lol. But overall, body structures are very impressive.

Also, collisions and the shirts rippling in the wind are very cool. Great physics engine.

The base running, and fielding with your outfielders does take some getting use to. So does the swing stick, but it is all pretty fun once you get used to it. I understand why people dont like how the baserunning is in this game, but I dont think it is that bad. It isa the same as ijn 2k5, they could have changed it, but o well. As for the player movements feeling kind of sluggish, I also dont think it is that bad. it is just different. Once you are used to i, you get pretty good at it. It is a trial and error game.

The mind games that you play between and pitcher and a batter matopos are very cool. Very strategic baseball game. It is a lot like 2k5, which I am glad that they did not change at all. I love that kind of game style.

The modes and features on this game are plentiful. I like the online leagues, those are very creative. You can trade players on those, a very nice touch in my opinion.



This being your only MLB baseball choice, until Midway's game, which I doubt will be any good, it would be a solid pickup. If you are an xtreme major league baseball fan, and you need a MLB game, do not be afraid to give this one a shot.
