MLB 2006 is a whole other ballgame that not only looks great but plays like a game worthy of giving this year’s MVP Baseball and MLB 2K game a run for their money.

Description
MLB 2006 is the latest edition of a franchise that has established itself as a third-year phenom for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. To enhance the gameplay experience and provide gamers with an authentic, yet unique simulation, MLB 2006 provides baseball fans with numerous gameplay nuances including an enhanced Artificial Intelligence (AI), new graphics and the return of EyeToy functionality, once again assuring the most realistic baseball experience on the virtual diamond.
Dedicated to staying atop the baseball field, MLB 2006 has integrated new gameplay options in order to make it the deepest baseball game ever produced. Innovations like the all-new Branch Point Technology (BPT) give gamers the ability to field the ball and pre-load a throw through seamless fielding transitions, while an all-new Pitcher Confidence feature gives baseball fans the ultimate duel through a revised pitcher/batter interface that binds player rating attributes with individual gamer skills.
Known for its extensive list of game modes, MLB 2006 continues to build upon the success of the franchise by enhancing its gameplay options. A new Franchise Mode includes an all-new Player Morale System that tracks player morale on every level and applies it to the player’s day-to-day performance, and the new Career Mode lets gamers play from the player’s perspective and control their own destiny from the start to the finish of their career, based on their on-field performance.
