The problem is that MLB 2K13 doesn't feel like it was made by people who love baseball. It feels like it was made by a company who used to love baseball and is trying to milk a couple of extra bucks out of fans before Major League Baseball takes their contract away.
From the initial menu screen, it’s clear that little has changed over the course of a year beyond pasting in David Price as the cover star. The interface is essentially identical, the play modes are unchanged in execution, and the on-field action is precisely where it was last season. Even the Achievements are carbon-copied.

I'm going to rate this a 10 because most people are going to hate on this game. It looks and plays like 2k did a lot of work under the hood on this game. I have played over a handful of games and haven't been disappointed yet. I own MLB 13 The Show and am enjoying 2k more.

This game a great example of good developers with a bad publisher. If this team got the support The Show did they would blow them out of the water. They are doing what they do on the engine they have for the original Xbox and make it look great. I can't wait to see next year when the new engine is done on next gen. This game is more realistic then The Show which is why I prefer it and they made great changes to My Player. This game is truly an eight and a half but I'm giving it a ten because of the scum from The Show that will down this game.

MLB 2K13 is a complete and utter retread with all the appeal of used chewing gum.
It’s sad to watch a once-proud franchise struggle...It is, literally, the same exact game as MLB 2K12 with updated rosters, schedules, and uniforms.
The hard truth of the matter is that there is a rival game out there that schools 2K13 on every conceivable level. MLB 2K13, by comparison, is an embarrassing use of the MLB license, feeling more like a half-assed attempt to rake in a few bucks off fans who haven't read reviews than any real attempt to make a fun baseball game.
MLB 2K13 is one of the most embarrassing whiffs I’ve seen. Whether I was playing CPU or human opponents, games frequently hinged on something that shouldn’t have happened on the diamond. Only play it if you have a YouTube account dedicated to archiving video game glitches.
It's as much a shame on 2K Sports for releasing this game as it is for the MLB to carelessly stamp its name on it. Whether it was sheer apathy or contractual licensing obligations that caused MLB 2K13 to exist in this state, it certainly wasn't a love for baseball, sports games, or its fans.
MLB2K13 is Awesome baseball game. I have been playing this game all morning and the gameplay/graphics are great especially the pitching. Career mode gets a huge boost thanks to more realistic expectations and progression. It's still a solid performer If your a baseball fan you grab MLB2K13 it awesome!

After putting much time into 2k13 I can say its mostly the same as **** only new additions in this years copy is new music and roster updates. To prove how exact of a copy this is most players that have a new team this season from free agency or traded all are wearing there old teams hat in there picture. Ichrio Suzuki who has been a Yankee for a while now, still has a mariners hat on. But it's not just him, many other players have old hats on like Carlos Beltran who is still wearing a fricken mets hat!
To me that's just inexcusable and plain lazy,
No new game modes or any new gameplay upgrades as well, from all the games I played the players faces all look exact as well from last year.
Also 100% of the achievements are the same as 2k12. All 50 of them are the same.
Gameplay-7.5
It's not bad, but I have encountered a few bugs
Commentary-9
They really haven't added much new lines, but it's still really good.
Graphics-7
Personally I think the stadiums look great and so does the field but players look disgusting.
Music-10
I loved the music in 2k12, and I love the music in this game as well.
Upgrades from 2k12-5
Like I said exactly the same.
Overall-7
To be honest I was hoping for more, I know it was announced late but come on. They could have done some thing. I just hope they fix this series on the next Xbox or I will buy ps4 strictly for the show.

If you are new to baseball on the 360. MLB 2K is the only game in town. With that being said. 2K sports has taken the Madden rout of doing business, and pretty much makes minimal changes, and updates the rosters. I wish they would put the effort they do in their basketball series into their baseball games, but that's not going to happen. So for myself. I have gone with getting MLB 2K Baseball every other year. Now is this years game good? Yes it is. The game is not horrible as some will claim. You can have a great time with the game. So my advise would be if you want a baseball game, and don't have one. Get the **** will have fun If you bought it last year. I would skip unless you absolutely have to have that 7-10 guy roster update that most won't just do manually, and save $60.

Let me be honest, MLB 2K13 is the same game as MLB 2K12. And it really isn't good, this shows as a reason why sports games is declining, and it's very sad to be fair.

What a waste of money! As every 2k fan knows, 2k does not do good with baseball. To be frank, if you have Mlb 11 and Mlb 12 don't buy '13! It is a replica to the past games.
