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.… Expand

   Is this a perfect game? No (and perhaps ironically so, given the game's marketing campaign). Is it the same game as last year? Honestly, IIs this a perfect game? No (and perhaps ironically so, given the game's marketing campaign). Is it the same game as last year? Honestly, I didn't play 2K12 so I couldn't tell you. What I can say is that it captures the pitcher-batter battle amazingly well and provides a satisfying experience that will surely give me 100+ hours of gameplay, as most baseball games have before it. The commentary is top-notch, the statistical presentation is a baseball junkie's dream, and for all the glitch-clips and complaints that I see posted across the web, I have only encountered one and it had little to no effect on the gameplay experience. I'm not the type to whine and complain about a baseball videogame being "nothing more than a roster update" from the year before. When I watch real MLB, I know my Cubs will have a roster update but it will be the same game as last year no World Series win, and another year of disappointment.
   
   All joking aside, if you're looking for a game that can give you a solid return on investment in terms of gameplay time, you could do far worse. 10 games into my franchise Spring Training, and 31 games into My Player mode, I've already felt that my $60 will be justified. Sure some of the player models aren't the prettiest, but for those of us who grew up on Atari and Intellivision, we can look past that into the quality elements of the gameplay which matter most. And 2K consistently delivers the best pitching system that I have played in years of gaming on the digital diamond.… Expand

The menus look exactly the same, the game modes are the exact same, and the game itself plays exactly the same. It's pretty much an exact copy of 2k12 with some minor tweaks except for one thing- for whatever reason, 2k13 does not support online leagues. 2k12 had online leagues, and these have been a fixture for the 2k series for years. The minor tweaks I was talking about are mostly mechanical- fielding looks a bit smoother (although still jerky on some plays), the crowd looks a bit better, and, most importantly, the AI is a bit smarter, especially in late game situations (the computer will actually sub out pitchers at appropriate times.) When it comes down to it, MLB 2k13 is a stripped down rehash of MLB 2k12.… Expand

   Greetings sports fans the season is upon us and unfortunately the grass may be "greener on the otherside." For all of you diamond lovers whoGreetings sports fans the season is upon us and unfortunately the grass may be "greener on the otherside." For all of you diamond lovers who are tethered to the Xbox console prepare yourself for a let down. Not only is this years MLB 2k baseball game a simple rehash of last years the failing company even went as far as to all out pull the most popular feature...its online league play. Now as a die hard MLB 2k supporter every year I defend my beloved franchise against all the haters and PS3 rabble rousers that claim that MLB The show is better. Time and time again I continue to point out the obvious reasons for my continued patronage...but alas 2k you have crossed the line. Limiting players to meaningless ranked matches is a sure fire way to ruin what's left of your already failing reputation. In closing the game plays well enough with only minor cosmetic glitches but is no where near the 60 usd price tag that the game retailed at. Also due to a lack of online leagues the game is actually LESS than the previous years iteration. Buyer beware...… Expand

It's been the exact same thing since 2008: same gameplay, similar features, same terrible graphics, and the same soft rock track that makes you want to go insane. You'd think that MLB 2k13 would be similar to NBA 2k13 quality wise, but it isn't even close.
   
   Also, I can't stand how basically all of the players in the MLB today mode are wearing the hat of their former team. They have JP Arancibia in the old Blue Jays cap from three years ago! Just 2k not putting any effort in their game.
   
   Lastly, don't even bother with the "my player" mode. It sucks. I played 75 games in Double A ball and hit something like .379/9HR/77RBI, but was one HR away from getting called up to the bigs when the season ended, so I had to play another 65 games in triple A to finally get called up. Also, you play in the same two stadiums the whole time in the minors. You also have to sit on the base paths for such a long time while the count runs full and the batter fouls off five pitches until he strikes out. I try to get out when I'm on base because I refuse to waste ten minutes of my watching a minor leaguer take 15 pitches in a video game. Also, if you start off being a power hitter like I did, you are pretty much the slowest player in baseball. I got thrown out from RF a couple of times. Just so unrealistic and an absolutely terrible game. It's purely a disgrace to the 2k brand.
   
   Oh yeah, unlike in NBA 2k13 where there's a new roster update almost every day, in MLB 2k13, there's one like every twenty days. Were three days past the trade deadline and I still have Jose Iglesias on the Red Sox!
   
   Anyway, this is absolutely the worst sports game ever created, I wouldn't buy it for three bucks, and I would give it a negative 10 if I could. It's an absolute disgrace to the 2k brand and major league baseball.… Expand
