What's up everybody?
First of all, I must give you guys some background on my baseball gaming experience in the past. I have owned both a PS3 and a XBOX 360 since the systems first came out and since day one I have been a devoted MLB The Show consumer. I believe I bought MLB 2K7 to play with my older brother who came to visit from the Dominican Republic and since I had two controllers for that system and the game was cheap I decided to give it a try. Since then I have not owned a MLB 2K series game, even though I do download the demo every year just to see what 2K has to offer.
Approximately 6 months ago my PS3 died on me and I have refused to pay to get it fixed especially with the PS4 just around the corner. Coming into this baseball season I knew that I was going to rely on MLB 2K13 in order to get some baseball action. I have been reading reviews left and right and man for a second I could not believe that the game could be this bad. I went to RedBox and rented the game for a couple of days and I liked what I saw, so against all of those people writting bad reviews I chose to pick up the game.
I picked up the game on Saturday and I have been playing non-stop ever since. I have started a couple of franchises (fantasy and real teams) and so far I am enjoying the game even more than I have enjoyed the Show before. I do not know how to explain it, but the game is simply fun to play. I know that many people are saying this is the exact same game as MLB 2K12 was, but for someone like me who did not play the MLB 2K series in the past, this game is great! I have downloaded the most up to date rosters I was able to find and as I previously stated I am loving this game.
Now, let's get one thing clear; you cannot compare the graphics to MLB The Show. The Show is a BEAUTIFUL game and that is one thing that I miss, but once you get past that, there is not much else to miss. I honestly feel the gameplay offered by MLB 2K13 is more fun to that of the Show, but I cannot figure out yet what it is that makes it more fun. Not even when MLB The Show firt came out was I able to play three or four games back to back, I simply got tired / bored and I ended up calling it a day with it. With MLB 2K13 I have been playing all weekend and I cannot wait to go home today after work and play some more.
Anyone else in here who has not played the MLB 2K series in recent years and is enjoying this game?
