I bought this game for my grandkids so I have never played it. The kids seem to like it so I assume it is a good game.

MLB 2K6 has phenomenal pitching controls, and that part of the gameplay in general is good. Strike out a batter, and he might throw his helmet, or you might see a slow-mo replay of his final whiff.
2K6 can be, at times, just as if you're watching the game on television... the realism is sometimes quite good. Many times, the gameplay is so engrossing that it makes up for obvious flaws. Other times, 2K6 can be quite... frustrating, and nothing abut the game seems worth it.
I experienced the freeze problem that other reviewers are talking about, and I discovered that you can't use the 'Zone' pitching interface, or the game will randomly freeze after cut-scenes. The distributor is officially silent on this matter, but once I finally contacted support, my suspicion was confirmed.
There's also a lack of good online play which is quite frustrating.
Manual fielding is a tragedy, and often can cost you games or outs that a real player would have had for sure. Move to the classic controls, and batting makes perfect sense. Swing Stick adds nothing to the game but complexity.
I'm glad this game wasn't a $60 purchase (I'd have returned it if it were), but I have fun with it on occasion.

To start off, just a heads up, you can get this game at Best Buy for $19.99. Which I did. And i still feel ripped off. God what an awful game. If you set some settings say in Franchise mode, they will not be saved no matter how hard you try and will have to set them again everytime you play the game. As someone else said, the only good thing is the pitching. Oh awful awful batting camera. Its not so bad if you have a 42 inch plasma but if you have something like a regular 19 inch TV, you can't see squat. Awful fielding and fielding cam. Bad interface throughout. Truly a bad, bad game.
Wow-what a "great' introduction to xbox 360 December 26, 2006

So, here's the lowdown. Yesterday I saved up the cash and bought myself one of those great XBOX 360's--you know, one of those machines with HD graphics with games that have unbelievable gameplay. Well, I remember surely the first game I bought was MLB 2k6 since I love baseball with a passion. I know there were some MVP lovers in the past, but I was an All-star baseball fan, who felt that 2k6 would easily be the greatest game I'd ever play-I mean come on, it has "HD graphics" and totoally real situations. Well, I was wrong on this one. Wow, this is awful! First of all, the graphics-HD or Not-are horrible, absolutely horrendous. The players look nothing like this, and second of all, nobody has such large back sides-the players look like they have extra large jerseys on. There are so many inconsistencies they misss. There are no grass stains on the players after fielding--which, speaking of which, is a drag anyway. What really pissed me off is the stadiums which are all way too dark and lack feeling. The sky blue is very cartoony, the grass---oh my god, it is pitifully irrealistic and frankly I expect so much more for 60 dollars. The screenshots you see on websites are completely misrepresenting themselves-sometimes, the graphics are cool on instant replays.
The game has a few cool things that I'd like them to expand on. Managing the team in the front office is extremely hard, but iyt's cool to check emails and really be in control-if you learn how to. I will never play this game again, nor will I ever rent anything from the 2k6 company whose standards are way too low for me.
