    5 of 5 Exactly what I wanted. Thursday, March 26, 2009
    A Gamer from Ohio  

    I wanted a game that was fun to play, and would be able to hold my attention. MLB 2k9 fit that description perfectly I am just beginning my season with the tribe and am having a wonderful time. My one beef is it is very hard to play small ball, if you have a power hitter they are putting the ball in the air even if you hold down. I will still play the game regularly.

    4 of 5 Great visuals, some shaky gameplay Sunday, March 22, 2009
    A Gamer from Boston, MA  
    Overall, game is pretty good. Some unrealistic gameplay issues though. Fielders dropping easy pop flies happens two or three times a game, for example. The first baseman will get pulled off the bag on an accurate throw. Lot of little things like this make it hard to play, at times. It does have great graphics, and excellent commentary.
