While the guessing game is now on as to whether this is the final Major League Baseball 2K game, gamers who aren't caught up in that talk but rather looking at the game they have just been handed might find something worth playing.

While it's not perfect, MLB 2K12 makes a valiant effort in what could be the series swan song, but is it worth the price of admission?

Thanks for the honest review Phil. Great work as always

Great, solid review. The game is far from perfect, but it will satisfy my baseball fix for 2012. Next year is going to be very interesting however, curious to see what happens now that the 3rd party MLB contract is up for grabs.

Best review I've read. I'm curious, what hitting view do you use? I think the default is actually quite good.

For pitching, I use pitcher as some of the broadcast views feel like the hitter is like 5 feet from me.

It seems like the score isn't indicative of the mostly good things you had to say, but you covered everything well and hopefully if anyone is serious about picking it up they wouldn't just look at the final score. I can't wait to put the MLB Today season mode to the test!

I agree but i would go one further.

PS3 version 6.5

XBox 360 version 7.5

So your score works

This is an honest review.

I'm glad someone mentioned the fun factor. Not the best baseball game out there, especially in terms of simulation, but it sure is fun.

I would take an MLB game that graphic wise was average but gameplay fun over a game looks insane but plays like complete poo. Thats my .02 cents. Not bothering with Show at all this year. Controls last year for me felt awful and the outfield depth felt like 3 feet. Once again, my .02 cents.
