    Should I buy this game or not?

    I really want to play a baseball game of some sort. I know the reviews are terrible and I havent heard much good about this game, but I kind of want to get it but I dont want to waste my money. Im not picky when it comes to video games, as long as I can have fun with the game I'll be willing to play it. From everyones experience, is it WORTH buying this year? Are you guys having fun with it? I dont know what to do, so I need some advice. Should I get it or not?
    Thanks!

    The reviews aren't terrible, on the contrary. Anyway, there are pages and pages of impressions.

        I think pasta padre was way too harsh. I am having a lot of fun with this game, especially since I started using mkharsh's slider set as a base. The games are unpredictable and realistic. The game is not as pretty as the show, but it still looks pretty good and it is definitely fun to play.

          Comes down to this: If you liked 2K11, 2K12 is worth getting. If you're biased and have an anti-2K bug up your bum like some website writers, you're only going to be happy with something else.

            I bought this game in the interim until the show comes out with the first patch and I have to say it's been a fun and interesting change from the show.

            I really do enjoy all the stat overlays and all the options it gives you to "scout" the opposing teams. The commentary is fantastic far and away the best for any baseball game I have played.

            The only downside are the graphics and some framerate drops from time to time.

            The game IS NOT close to as smooth as the show but it's very playable and fun.

                My opinion....based on my franchise 40 games in and playing every game, I never sim, I'm still constantly playing this game and have not been bored with it yet. On the contrary it seems to be the only game I want to play when I get the chance and I own both baseball games this year. Loving it and yeah, pasta constantly slams this game as if he has something against 2k and didn't give it a fair chance, I don't know, I usually enjoy his site but the MLB 2k bashing over there really bothers me cause I don't see the justification, I haven't had this much fun with a baseball game since MVP 05 and that is saying alot, if anything get it from red box for a night
                Only the truest Buffalonians know what it is to stick with your hometown teams. Eventually we will be rewarded with a Super Bowl or Stanley Cup Championship. The ONE thing I want to see most before i leave this world. What a day that would be.

                  I just got it recently and agree with most of what has been said in this topic already. stat overlays and commentary are great, it's also fun to pitch in 2k more so than the other baseball game IMO.

                  the only bad things I've noticed so far is the fielding can be a bit wacky at times and the foul ball lag is annoying. fun game though overall.

                    Thanks for the feedback everyone, I think im going to get it! I redboxed it for one night and I actually like it. You guys are right, most web writers are far too harsh and too picky. I think I will enjoy this game alot, being a huge baseball fan already.

                      A lot of people want a video game to completely 100% mimic real life baseball. They'll even reference difficulty in regards to realism.

                      If they got a game as difficult as real life I wonder how much fun it would be that like 100-200 people in the world could actually hit on it.

                      Anyways, franchise mode is enough reason to give this game a chance. It's very deep.

                      I also have both games, and I am 30 games into my season on this one, and maybe 10 into my season on the other.

                          Get It! Coming from a fan that took several years off from Baseball games. I have been having a lot of fun with this one.

                          I have been playing My Player, MLB Today with a couple of teams, and I even played online last night.

                            so, i have 2k11 already and had a lot of fun with it. do you think its worth getting 2k12 this year or wait for next year? it didn't seem like there are a lot of improvements from last year but i could be wrong. didn't want to make a new thread for this also so i posted it here, any advice would be great thanks

                              Iverson, I personally would get it. The pitching mechanic upgrades alone make this a good buy. Play around with the sliders and you'll have a great time with it. Is it flawed? Yes but is it better then 2K11? Yes. My Yankees franchise is producing some pretty darn realistic stats and each game I've played, even the ones I lost have brought a smile to my face.

                              P.S, I enjoy Pasta's site but his hatred of 2K is like some's blind following of the other game. I learnt when he comes to baseball games, he's not the one to rely on (IMO)
