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.

Pasta Padre ripped on it. Ive read them all and im getting a mixed impression...so im not sure if i should get it or not!

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.

I'd say get it.

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
