Major League Baseball 2K12
SCORE: 36
Hand held sports video games usually get a
bad wrap. I believe that is because companies do not put as much effort
into them. I understand with less technology comes less features, worse
graphics, and less voices. Some sports games on hand helds are complete
disappointments. Take Major League Baseball 2K12 on the Nintendo DS.
Batting is sketchy, pitching is impossible, and the overall presentation
feels like an 8-bit video game.
Sony made a half way decent baseball game on the Playstation Portable.
They made a very impressive one on the Playstation Vita. So 2K Sports
has no real excuse for such a sloppy and shoddy hand held sports game.
The modes in Major League Baseball 2K12 are Play Ball, Season, Post
Season, Tutorial, Baseball Cards (unlockables), and Credits.
The one cool aspect in Major League Baseball 2K12 is the mini game that
comes up when you are close to a base, and the throw is close as well.
Like the rest of Major League Baseball 2K12 it is generally unplayable.
Want to know a secret? I played Major League Baseball 2K12 on the
easiest difficulty setting. Which means Major League Baseball 2K12 is
nasty in terms of its difficulty. I walked six straight batters my
inning pitching. I gave up, and started over because the pitching
controls are difficult beyond belief. I got a hit here and there thanks
mainly to luck. The sound bytes were repetitive in Major League Baseball
2K12.
I expected less graphics, and less sound in Major League Baseball 2K12.
I did not expect the poor fielding view. I did not anticipate the
impossible pitching mechanics. I found Major League Baseball 2K12 on
clearance. If you find it, please leave it. Major League Baseball 2K12
is one of the worst video games of all time.
