I have played every one of the games in the MLB 2K Sports baseball Wii series except for 2008. I have found them incredibly fun and entertaining. (2K Sports no longer carries their MLB games on their website.) I decided to write a review on the games since I’ve known them for so much.(Please note: due to my aging Wii console, some of the options are not available to me such as saving franchise mode, saving created players, and updating) Here goes nothing:

• Pro: The batting stance and pitching windup for the players are extremely accurate. I can identify the players just by their stance.
• Pro: The covers have been great. I honestly think the 2012 edition cover with Justin Verlander surrounded by fire is the best.
• Pro: The park dimensions are accurate.
• Pro: The Cooperstown Legends and the old ballparks are incredible. It is a great way to travel back in time and play as Ted Williams and Reggie Jackson.
• Pro: The Mini Diamond feature is awesome. It’s basically bobbleheads of players playing ball in Egypt and in space.
• Pro: Replay is awesome. Period.
• Con: The broadcasters have some glitches. They will only say a players number if they don’t know how to prenounce the name. If a player makes a great grab in the first inning, Gary Thorne will say “What a way to end the ballgame!” What really gets on my nerves is when I am playing 2012 and call in Mark Melancon (pronounced Melan-Sin) in from the ‘pen. Thorne butchers his name by calling him Mark Melan-Con. Why can’t they pronounce Nolnaho?
• Con: The numbers sometimes glitch out.
• Con: I was playing the other night, and for some reason, Hanley Ramirez walked right through Mark Teixeira. At least once an inning, somebody (either an umpire or player), gets impaled by a baseball. Umpires matter too.
