Phoenix Games reviews MLB 2K9

One of the perennial criticisms of sports video games is that they're put out every year with nothing more than updated rosters, a new feature or two and slightly refined graphics. There are always a few minor changes, but all-in-all nothing new. It's rare that you see a sports game that doesn't stick to this trend but every once and awhile you get one that manages to break out of the usual cycle. 7/10
