Where MLB2k has always excelled is in the pitching. What has traditionally been the most boring part of baseball games was by far the most fun aspect of the MLB2k games after they went to the gesture-based analog pitching. Since baseball is largely a 1-on-1 duel between pitchers and hitters, making pitching the most fun part of the game was borderline revolutionary - it's like if a football game somehow made playing defense more fun than offense. As much as I rag on the MLB2k franchise, their pitcher-hitter duel has been the best in the biz for the past several years.
