I had to set back my computers clock 2 years to trick the game into loading. Way too much of a hassle. Not worth the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love baseball January 22, 2013

By Evan M Byrnes

I really love this game. I never used to be a big MLB 2K Series Fan, but they've gotten way better in recent years. I used to play Triple Play(and then MVP) all the time and I wish they'd come back but I can't be disappointed by this game. It looks and plays great, and it's very accurate. There is natural tension in games, in various situations like bottom of the 9th 2 outs, or 2 batters away from a perfect game. This brings a great added element to the game, something real baseball has. Plus whenever you do overcome one of those situations, it feels great because the game really makes you earn it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Game is good but... March 22, 2013

In order to play this game you have to trick your PC's date. You have to change the date to a day in 2012 in order for it to load or it will freeze. Other then this it is the best you can do with what you have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad July 1, 2012

Marred by a few issues (such as the game saving every time you change menus, minor texture issues) this game still manages to deliver a fun video game baseball experience.

No patches available. No refund. This is a ripoff, buyer beware.Would not recommend this game to anyone, anywhere, any time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Glitch in games - no support from company May 18, 2013

By Billy Heywood

The game has a glitch in which after the end of the baseball season, the game does not work. It doesn't get past the loading screen. Google "MLB 2k12 crash" and you'll see a multitude of pages and posts of problems. In order to make the game work, you have to change the date in your computer to a day during the 2012 baseball season. 2kSports offered no support. Luckily, Amazon stepped up and refunded my money, but that doesn't save a 1 star rating. If I could give zero stars I would. The game was fun until I tried to play after the season was over - how can a company make a game that simply stops working 8 months after it was released. That is the last time I buy any game developed by 2k.

1.0 out of 5 stars It does not work, it runs on STEAM May 17, 2013

And STEAM took 1 whole week to respond to my support request with a very generic "contact the company who made the game" email. This game never starts... and it freezes my computer to the point where I can't even run task manager to end task... a cold boot every time to escape the frozen screen.
