Game is pretty like the last version, the controls are exactly what the other guy said, they are completely wrong in the manual and what they say they are on the game, they say to hit X to swing, i hit a million times and nothing happened, you'd think they would get those little things figured out, but i guess not. I know I wont be buying this game and i would suggest you do the same. There isnt anything good about this game

loads of glitches

The previous reviews are right about the instruction booklet giving bogus instructions, but that is just the beginning with this sloppy effort. This game is loaded with lazy mistakes that show just how little effort 2K Sports put into this year's edition. The commentators are wrong about 95% of the time (for example, they will say that a player got thrown out trying for a double in his last at bat even if he struck out, homered, etc.). Sometimes wins and saves are credited to the wrong player. In addition to the booklet giving incorrect info on what the controls do, the game isn't much help with that either (I've played the game for quite a while and still just know the basic controls). Baserunner controls are awful, particularly when you have more than 1 guy on the basepaths at a time.

I had the 2K5 edition (which ironically was only $[...] and was a decent game), and it wasn't even plagued with amateur developer mistakes like this one.

I don't know how this year's version of the other MLB game turned out, but it can't possibly be as bad as this one.

Control Issues

I own this game and enjoy playing it, but I had real problems with it at first. Ask my wife, I would get mad at the game! The controls in the game booklet are not actually what they are in the game. A lot of them are different and that really threw me off and messed me up. I had to spend time playing the game to actually figure out the controls. That was a hassle. The other problem I had is that there is no instructions in the booklet on the features of the game, only the "wrong" controls. So I've had to learn what things are through playing, instead of just being able to read and understand what they are, kind of frustrating and a waste of time! Otherwise the game is great!

Fun but gets old

I bought this game a week ago and it's already getting old. The same thing keeps happening over and over and over again. Unless you want to do gm mode only rent this game.

Too many bugs.

I can't believe how many bugs this game has. They shouldn't have released it.
