MLB 2K13 Initial Reviews Quite Negative

[Bionickle]

At this point 2K should just admit that MLB The Show is years ahead of them and just release the game for a more reasonable price. Like $40 on XBOX (Since they don't get The Show) and no more than $30 on PS3, to at least try to move some copies. They did something similar back in the day with NBA 2K5 or 2K6 and sold it for $20, same thing with NFL 2K5 & it worked wonderfully and got a whole lot more people to buy into their style.

Thanks Baile.

I think they sort of did that....except instead of lowering the price, they targeted the Million $$$ crowd that doesn't care much about graphics/enhancements, will pay the $60 and buy at release. Had they targeted the OS crowd with a $20 price tag, not sure they would have sold 3X as many??

Not a real shocker here. This game has sucked major balls for years, and now that The Show is consistently putting out a fantastic game every year, people just aren't going to want to play the 2k version. I haven't even played this year's iteration, but I'd be willing to bet on a few things about the game:

1. hitting isn't fun. you don't aim a cursor to make contact, so really the timing of the swing is the only thing you have to guess correctly, making location of the pitch almost irrelevant.

2. fielding is clunky/glitchy. controls just don't feel right.

3. uniforms look stupid and unrealistic, especially when blowing in the breeze.

4. baserunning is horrible.

5. pitching gets old in about 5 minutes. same old RS mechanic, boring as ever.

Stop with the trolling and baiting, good grief.

The part of his post I quoted had no truth to it, that's correct. The forum rules state that criticism must be constructive, which it wasn't. And comparison comments aren't allowed in this forum.
