'MLB 2K13' review: a bit too simple

MLB 2K13

RATING E for Everyone

PLOT More major-league play

DETAILS PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, $60

BOTTOM LINE Same as it ever was

We're now three releases in a row with hardly any major alterations or upgrades, which means loyal gamers are shelling out $60 every year for a game that basically has updated stadiums and lineups, and little else. The pitching mechanics remain tried and true, so leaving those intact makes sense. Hitting the ball doesn't take Miguel Cabrera-like skill now, so even casual gamers should have the ability to get hits and drive in runs.-- Scripps Howard News Service
