    Outside of this, through its array of innovations, Major League Baseball 2K6 blows the doors off of what you could expect from a baseball game. [Apr 2006, p.116]

    Once you get past the little nuances, such as the fielding and spotty baserunning, there is a solid baseball game underneath.
  3. GamerFeed

    The presentation is solid but lacks the zing of the ESPN license, the commentary gets a little bland, and the presentation skips a bit online.
  4. Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

    When it comes to baserunning, controlling one runner works fine; any more it's a mess. [May 2006, p.82]

    With 2K Sports nabbing the exclusive third-party baseball-sim rights to the MLB license, it had a golden chance to nab the hardball crown from EA's NCAA-license-relegated MVP series. Instead, we get this scattershot effort. [May 2006, p.94]

  6. PSX Extreme

    In the offing, 2K Games has made a comprehensive, deep baseball sim that just isn't much fun to watch.
  7. The A.V. Club
    50
    Activating the showboating feature gives you the chance to make a spectacular behind-the-back catch of a routine fly ball, but...the joys of fielding end there. When you aren't overrunning the ball, you're stuck in molasses trying to turn back to get it.

    The game is somewhat bland. Pitching and hitting are extremely better, while the two announcers seem to have just got out of prison. Miller The game is somewhat bland. Pitching and hitting are extremely better, while the two announcers seem to have just got out of prison. Miller and Morgan have no excitement and enthusiasm. I think the game is a bit glitchy. It freezes at random points, causing me to restart my PS2. I give it a 5 at best. It has a lot of options and gameplay modes including the never before seen GM Career mode. Overall the game is OK. My advice to you, if you like a game that is mostly strategical, buy it. But if you're a baseball fan who likes action and enthusiastic announcers don't buy it. Because if you do, you will be sorry.… Expand

    The rosters are about 40% correct. The updates do no better. Really sad that players that retired in 03' are still on some teams. Trying The rosters are about 40% correct. The updates do no better. Really sad that players that retired in 03' are still on some teams. Trying to update your players yourself is so time consuming I've given up. Over 175 players with fake names that to change them all be ready to set aside a month. Get with it 2K. The bugs and glitches make it difficult at times and what could have been great, now is o.k. at best.… Expand
