MLB 2K12 does a pretty solid job of drawing you into the game. This is definitely one game that definitely doesn't require the latest hardware. With that being said, MLB 2K12's minimum system requirements are straight out of 2004.

This game is ridiculously easy to run and the system requirements haven't really changed at all from 2009 to now. The game's installation folder currently weighs in at just under 8 GB, though there is some modding in play with my version of the game which I'll address in a bit. I've put a ton of time into the game over the past six months, and with baseball's actual pennant races heating up I figured there's no better time than the present to talk about MLB 2K12. 2K Sports didn't bring a baseball game to the PC until 2009's Major League Baseball 2K9, but since then they've released a followup on PC every year.ĢK's latest offering in the series is Major League Baseball 2K12.
