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 s online league play.

For all of you diamond lovers who Greetings 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. And 2K consistently delivers the best pitching system that I have played in years of gaming on the digital diamond.

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. 10 games into my franchise Spring Training, and 31 games into My Player mode, I've already felt that my $60 will be justified. 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. 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. I'm not the type to whine and complain about a baseball videogame being 'nothing more than a roster update' from the year before. 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. 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. Is it the same game as last year? Honestly, I didn't play 2K12 so I couldn't tell you.
