Check out all the team ratings for MLB 2K12
Allan Muir of VGU.TV takes a look at exclusive sports licenses in games and why they hurt the genre
Annualized sports games are something that never gets the attention they deserves. They’re a nuisance to some and there’s no doubt that they never change too drastically from year to year but as most sports fans will tell you, they change just enough. Though that can’t always be said as some games seemingly churn out nearly the same experience year to year or, of course, have an off year or two. In this feature I will analyze the sports games of 2012 and ultimately decide which sports game did the most to improve, and which did the least. This is by no means determining the Sports Game of the Year category in our annual GiR awards; it’s merely my opinion on the past year’s beloved recurring franchises that often include a ball… or a puck if you want to get real crazy. It’s time for arguably the best three sports games this year!

I'm a little disappointed in my L.A. Dodgers' offense rating.
The Cubs' Pitching Rating is way too high.
A little sad in the Braves' batting rating, but I'll take that overall score.
