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 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.

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.

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.

Please bring back MVP Baseball

I will keep it simple...
The Good:The game freezes up and you can't play it for long.
The Bad:EVERYTHING !!!!

Easily the worst baseball game ever made,when it is not freezing youre hoping it will.The fielding is beyond bad.Players switching is laughable and dont even get me started on running the bases or hitting...luckily you cannot give out a zero mark so it has to get 1 star.

AVOID THIS GAME

This game is hard, but it is also just so stupid that even after you figure out how to play it you still don't have fun. I wish I still had my Xbox so I could play MVP baseball. This goes down as the only game ever to make me cry and vomit.

Only thing good is graphics.

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.

Not a game for the baseball nut

Ok,
So I thought that I would give this game a chance since my son and I love baseball. I read all the bad reviews and actually purchased the copy cheap off of EBay.
This game is terrible. Controls are bad, confusing....graphics are ok...but what makes me furious is the player rankings...they stink!
Chase Utley has a D for fielding.....this list goes on...I just got done going through 3 seasons of GM mode and went to the World Series every season. Duh. Where is the challenge.
I downloaded the updated rosters and they were even wrong.
So disappointed in this game...i hope that they spend some time on the next one because it is obvious that they rushed this one out for the release of the 360.
Better luck next time.

HD + No internet = $$

I have a Premium system, so I didn't own a memory card. MLB2k6 had a bug that caused a REGULAR (as in every time I played) crashes. I didn't have internet at the time and couldn't download the patch, so the only solid solution was to buy a memory card. Of course, about 2 weeks after that, we FINALLY got internet (3+ months of waiting for the install) and was able to download to patch. I downloaded the patched and it hasn't crashed anymore. It is still buggy though. Bad rush job, but good game overall.
