Modes[edit]

  • The Perfect Game Challenge is a competition where players will compete to pitch a perfect game in MLB 2K12.
  • MLB Today Season Mode
  • Franchise Mode is a mode where a player can play through multiple MLB seasons with one team, all while signing free agents, making trades, drafting players and setting rosters for that team and its minor league affiliate teams. However, it is not as in depth as MLB Today Season Mode, and more than one game may be played in a day in Franchise Mode. You can edit your players abilities in all areas unlimited times, making it possible to make your entire team perfect.

You can also edit their contract values and adjust the sliders or difficulty level during a franchise.

Reception[edit]

Major League Baseball 2K12 received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. IGN.com gave it a 7/10, saying, 'MLB 2K12 represents a year in baseball that's about minor polish rather than major innovation. Certain elements of the evolving formula from 2K10 and 2K11 find great success this year, but overall 2012 marks a standard year for a good game of baseball.'[3]GameSpot gave it a lower rating of 5.5/10 commenting that 'it's hard to recommend this brand of baseball.'

The game was again compared unfavourably with its rival, the MLB: The Show Series.[4]

End of the Series[edit]

2K Sports gave many signals on May 22, 2012, that the game would mark the end of the MLB 2K series. The game was left off the list of games for 2K's 2013 fiscal year, which was the same way they signaled the end of the NHL 2K series (although it returned on mobile devices in 2014) and the College Hoops series.[5] A spokesman for Take Two commented, 'Our legacy Major League Baseball agreement will sunset in fiscal 2013. MLB 2K12 is our last offering under that agreement. At this time, we have no further comment.'[6]

However, on January 9, 2013, 2K Sports eventually announced that they had reached an agreement with Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association, and Major League Baseball Advanced Media to release Major League Baseball 2K13. The game was released on March 5, 2013.[7]MLB 2K13 was the final installment of the series.
