Clearly swinging for the fences, MLB 06: The Show is such an accurate and thrilling portrayal of a big-league game that users will experience all the stress and teeth-grinding of an actual major-league manager. The graphics are smooth like a well-executed double play, and the pitching and hitting interfaces are both superbly done and quickly become second nature. The gameplay is intuitive and reacts realistically to all of baseball's subtle nuances. The CPU anticipates and reacts to situations as an opposing manager would. Simply put, the best baseball game on the market, ever.
