MLB '06: The Show Review (PS2)

[Steve_OS]

We have just posted our MLB '06: The Show review. Find out what Clay Shaver has to say about it. Mark Fossen chimes in at the end of the review with a "Second Opinion" as well.

"When the “experts” looked at the 2005 Major League Baseball season, it was hard to find any of these gurus who picked the Chicago White Sox to finish any higher than third in the American League Central. It was the Twins’ division to lose. The Cleveland Indians looked like the young upstarts with the firepower to make a run at the top, or maybe nab the wild-card. The sleeper team in the division was, believe it or not, the Detroit Tigers. The pundits had the ChiSox no better than 3rd, but most slotted them at the bottom battling the Kansas City Royals for last in the Central."

I hate you Clay, with a passion...I was probably gonna skip a baseball game this year (not really into the 2k series for baseball), but when I start getting my baseball game jitters in April I'll have to go with this...I enjoyed it on the PSP last year, and will have to dust off the PS2 for the first time in god knows how long

I don't see how a game with constant fielding errors (balls rolling past fielders like they are invisible) gets a 10/10 but to each his own...

I did see that out of the box, but a switch to "assist" fielding made it completely disappear. I don't know they were ever constant, though. 1-2 times a game doesn't qualify as "constant" to me ....
