2K Combo Pack with MLB and NBA Returns But at Reduced Value

MLB 13 will feature matchmaking that pairs up individuals who are similarly rated in terms of their skill levels, teams, and starting pitchers. Utilizing fatigue levels for pitchers means an actual rotation will need to be in play (assuming fatigue is drained sig...

The new feature delivers the ability to play any game on the schedule for the 2013 season with MLB.com feeding the proper lineups and statistics. The presentation and commentary will reflect that point in time.
