That's barring something like another publisher buying out 2K's parent company. Guess which one is closer to what consumers think. NBA 2K has been an outstanding game for years now, certainly since the crisis of when 2K Sports took the MLB project away from Kush Games and saddled Visual Concepts with a nine-month development cycle that ended in disaster.
Why 2K Sports waited until now to try this, and whether it signals an attempt to save its baseball marriage, or giving up on it, who can tell. But it may be a moot point. All Take-Two's senior leadership has done is disparage its own product and the value of the Major League Baseball brand. Even without Take-Two's conduct and mishandling of the franchise, MLB could expect to take a haircut in its next deal, and not just because everyone thinks Take-Two overpaid way back in I'm not sure I've ever seen any edition of the game on that list, to be honest.
So what? Well, consider every other simulation sports title shows up there at some point, and many usually appear there all year long. This isn't just online multiplayer—this is connected users playing any mode of the game. Also, remember this is the only baseball game on the Xbox , so it's not like there's a fragmenting of the audience across two or more titles. The Major League Baseball audience on the Xbox is now literally smaller than the National Hockey League's in the middle of the summer.
Overview Gamers can not only play alongside their favorite Major League Baseball athletes, but also play along as the real time season progresses from spring into summer and finally into the playoffs of the fall.

Players can choose one of the league's teams and guide them to a championship as a virtual owner, manager, and athlete. They can also create their own budding star and lead them through the minor leagues en route to a pro career. The fielding mechanics have been tweaked to allow players to queue up throws, and a Tendencies system where computer-controlled opponents can pick up a player's habits when they pitch or bat to gain an extra advantage.
Major League Baseball 2K12 hasn't really changed much from last year, which is good and bad. The hitting and fielding are solid, but the pitching can get too complicated with the various gestures required to perform certain throws. The game also struggles to properly represent ball movement, most notably speed and velocity. At times, it feels as if the ball floats out there a bit too long. Also, players remain stiff, with awkward transitions between movements.
It's a decent option for diehard baseball fans. However, if you're a casual fan, this game can stay on the bench. Families can talk about how this game compares to real-world baseball. How well does the game represent the sport? Do you like playing sports games alone or with others?
