Hopefully My Last MLB 2K6 Message

The Gameshark review is up (see sidebar). I can finally put this game to rest. No hard feelings and all, but I need to move on.

I played and tested the bejeebers out of this game but I have to admit — I totally missed this. A buddy of mine pointed me to this thread at OS about franchise play. It’s pretty crazy.

I started a Franchise and simmed it to check out the off season. When I went to start the new season it lowered the schedual to 10 freaking games…. Can anyone help me with this?

Turns out the poster is right.

So, to recap, we have a game with:

  • A lot of seemingly random (put highly annoying and sometimes hilarious) on the field and boxscore bugs
  • A franchise mode with piss poor player development (as in they don’t develop)
  • Poor CPU manager AI
  • Shitty animation
  • A poor stat engine
  • And now the franchise mode drops games after a new season starts

Well done 2K Sports. You have made EA Sports look like the most well oiled and professional sports publisher on the planet. (I just had a cold chill, sorry)

Don’t worry though. I’m sure 2K will issue a patch in the next few weeks to finish and tighten up the game’s development. Oh, wait…
