Remember, Mark's experience was a 1/10... if you're not getting freezing (or the freezing doesn't bother you), clearly you will score it higher.

The game, out of the box, does not play. It does not play a "damn good game of baseball" for most people, because last I checked a baseball game was 9 innings. I often downplay statistical inaccuracies in baseball games, but that's one stat that's hard to ignore.

Obviously, had the game simply worked, there would be a different review. I think the fact that many reviews did not mention the freeze is a disservice to consumers - no one should be buying this game, at least not until it's patched.

Exactly!

God bless MVP Mods, as those guys have saved baseball for me and millions of others.

I agree, great review. I am SHOCKED other reviewers did not mention the freezing in their reviews. They are usually all over this kind of thing, especially and "exclusive" license console game doing it.

I was so disapointed by this game. Cant wait for MLB The Show on the PS3, 2K will need a miracle to have this do a 180 on the XBox next year. (though it is possible)

Not to mention those dirt bags bought the PC license as well and didnt even release a PC version for the mod community to make better. That is dirty 2K. If you were not going to make a game for it, leave it alone for EA to make a newer version. Even if it was only and updated roster and season in EA's 06 for the PC, it would still be leaps and bounds better.

this is an awesome game. After you fix freezing. It just has fielding porblems that i got used to/baserunning which you can get used to. The more you play this game the more you like it. It plays 10 times at relistic as mvp. With Inside edge. I threw a game yesterday at bush stadium i was reds. Milton won the game and threw 109 pitches something you'd never c on mvp.And it was so great how inside edge is because i struck out pujols iwth the game on the line. Amazing graphics also. I gave the game a 8.3. and i had freezing one day but fixed it. By reformatting my 360.

I gave this game an honest effort, and I gave up. It's 2006 and this is the XBOX 360. If this is the best they can do, we baseball fans that have a 360 are in trouble. Nice scam job on the graphics. They are no where close to those renders(?) they first put up. Freezing sucks, and too many things left out. Get rid of Kush
