I bought this game for my grandkids so I have never played it. The kids seem to like it so I assume it is a good game.

Not BAD

ALright I have had this game for a while so I finally read about all of this and it's true. The only thing on this game i think is the graphics. The rankings for everyone is horrible. If i simulate a whole season i have ALbert Pujols only having around 19 home runs and Dontrelle Willis will have an ERA of around 2.30. Thats like impossible for over 30 starts. Another thing is that the batting stances are way off of the regular starters and so are the pitching windups. They look terrible. I only play this game because baseball is my fav. sport and nomatter how bad it is im gona play. Another thing is to make the 360 games more fun how bout have a become a star for next year and run through your career with them. That would make this game 10x better. So if you really wanna play this game alot like me you must love baseball because it does get boring.

360 graphics?

To start off, just a heads up, you can get this game at Best Buy for $19.99. Which I did. And i still feel ripped off. God what an awful game. If you set some settings say in Franchise mode, they will not be saved no matter how hard you try and will have to set them again everytime you play the game. As someone else said, the only good thing is the pitching. Oh awful awful batting camera. Its not so bad if you have a 42 inch plasma but if you have something like a regular 19 inch TV, you can't see squat. Awful fielding and fielding cam. Bad interface throughout. Truly a bad, bad game.

Not great, but not as bad as others have stated...

MLB 2K6 has phenomenal pitching controls, and that part of the gameplay in general is good. Strike out a batter, and he might throw his helmet, or you might see a slow-mo replay of his final whiff.

2K6 can be, at times, just as if you're watching the game on television... the realism is sometimes quite good. Many times, the gameplay is so engrossing that it makes up for obvious flaws. Other times, 2K6 can be quite... frustrating, and nothing abut the game seems worth it.

I experienced the freeze problem that other reviewers are talking about, and I discovered that you can't use the 'Zone' pitching interface, or the game will randomly freeze after cut-scenes. The distributor is officially silent on this matter, but once I finally contacted support, my suspicion was confirmed.

There's also a lack of good online play which is quite frustrating.

Manual fielding is a tragedy, and often can cost you games or outs that a real player would have had for sure. Move to the classic controls, and batting makes perfect sense. Swing Stick adds nothing to the game but complexity.

I'm glad this game wasn't a $60 purchase (I'd have returned it if it were), but I have fun with it on occasion.

Come on, it isn't THAT bad

Mine hasn't froze yet in about 10 full games.

Pros:
-It feels very authentic with cool trivia between innings, and the broadcast fortifies this feeling.
-Inclusion of WBC is pretty cool, even though the rosters need some working out.
-I actually like the pitching meter...
-baserunning mode is cool
-utter hilarity when players crash into each other and the wall (this often happens thanks to the fielding)

Cons:
-AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL fielding. Fielders are slow and clunky, the dives are delayed and are based on if you are lucky enough to fall on the ball. I would advise that you set it so the AI does that fielding, and thus the diving. There is also a strange lack of relay throws (or none I have figured out yet), and players jump when they should dive.. and oi, too much to mention.
-Baserunning fails completely. You pre-assign bases for people to take, but it is sometimes unresponsive and the base number on the screen is soooo small (even on my 60-something inch HDTV) so its hard to tell a 2 from a 3. One other annoyance is if you have a guy on 2nd base. He will automatically dive back to the bag making it impossible for him to advance to 3rd on a ground ball to the right side.
-Hitting and bunting is exceptionally difficult to master. This may be because pitches move unrealistically. Hitting involves pulling back the right thumbstick and flinging it, but it is practically impossible to take a pitch because the slightest movement of the stick will make your guy swing. I haven't figured out how to set the hitting controls back the MVP system (A button), even though it seems obvious. I click to activate it, but nothing happens. I keep mistiming my swing because my guy keeps swinging right after the step because my finger wasn't still enough on the stick or something. The only way i succeed in hitting is when I say "You will not move the stick after the step" in my mind. The most runs I've scored is 4 (on pro level, rookie appears to be the same as pro...)
-stupid stuff like uniform numbers are wrong (Mark Loretta isn't number 10!)

I haven't started career mode yet because I am too bad. Learning curve is approx. 20 hours. I'm half-way there, heh. Maybe once I get decent, the game will turn decent too.

good game but freezes a lot

It is a good game and fun to play once you get used to all the controls. The big downfall of this game is that it tends to freeze a lot.

Wow-what a "great' introduction to xbox 360

So, here's the lowdown. Yesterday I saved up the cash and bought myself one of those great XBOX 360's--you know, one of those machines with HD graphics with games that have unbelievable gameplay. Well, I remember surely the first game I bought was MLB 2k6 since I love baseball with a passion. I know there were some MVP lovers in the past, but I was an All-star baseball fan, who felt that 2k6 would easily be the greatest game I'd ever play-I mean come on, it has "HD graphics" and totoally real situations. Well, I was wrong on this one. Wow, this is awful! First of all, the graphics-HD or Not-are horrible, absolutely horrendous. The players look nothing like this, and second of all, nobody has such large back sides-the players look like they have extra large jerseys on. There are so many inconsistencies they misss. There are no grass stains on the players after fielding--which, speaking of which, is a drag anyway. What really pissed me off is the stadiums which are all way too dark and lack feeling. The sky blue is very cartoony, the grass---oh my god, it is pitifully irrealistic and frankly I expect so much more for 60 dollars. The screenshots you see on websites are completely misrepresenting themselves-sometimes, the graphics are cool on instant replays.

The game has a few cool things that I'd like them to expand on. Managing the team in the front office is extremely hard, but iyt's cool to check emails and really be in control-if you learn how to. I will never play this game again, nor will I ever rent anything from the 2k6 company whose standards are way too low for me.
