The only officially licensed baseball game from a thirdparty publisher in 2006, Major League Baseball 2K6 continues the sports series once known as World Series Baseball. Developer Kush Games has revamped the pitching, batting, and fielding interfaces from previous installments to address a number of issues. While at the plate, players can swing for the fences by pressing the right analog stick, dubbed the "swing stick," in different directions for stronger cuts or to push or pull the ball to various parts of the field. Players on the mound will need to master a new timingbased pitching system that involves tapping a button at specific moments to determine how close the ball will reach its intended target. Fielding now takes into account an athlete's momentum, allowing players to nudge or push the analog stick to jog or run. Stronger, riskier throws are also possible by applying pressure to the face buttons, while collisions can occur on the base paths as well as in the field.

To bring more realism into the game, the developers have added Inside Edge scouting data to mimic reallife tendencies of the hitters and hurlers in the dugouts and bullpens. By spending a specific number of Inside Edge "points" during a game, players can learn where to pitch a particular hitter or determine the likelihood a pitcher is going to bring the heat in certain situations. Other notable features include the ability to challenge umpire calls in an interactive minigame, manage the team's morale through multiple seasons, and track a wide assortment of personal statistics through the VIP system used in other 2K Sports games. In addition to the standard season, franchise, and playoff game modes, Major League Baseball 2K6 includes the international teams and allstar lineups from the inaugural World Baseball Classic. Players can also take their favorite teams online with support for stat tracking, buddy lists, and custom leagues. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

    Pros: Great game love the graphics and commentary!

    Cons: Needs help on the controls.

    fielding is slow the players don't respond quickly. All around good baseball game and great graphics on Xbox 360. Well worth the money if you like baseball.

    2K Sports Fumbled This One

    By shultzy  Sep 27, 2006

    Pros: Excellent control of pitching and batting.

    Cons: Everything else

    While the pitching and batting part of the game is awesome, everything else is a joke. TONS of errors that make sure you know you're playing a video game and not a simulation. I bought the game and it locked up all the time, I bought it again thi...nking the first one got sctratched and it still does it. Playing wiffle ball would be a better MLB experience than this game.

    Major League Baseball 2K6 - Xbox360

    Major League Baseball 2K6 is an interesting if flawed baseball game that happens to be available for twenty dollars less on the current-gen systems. Read more
