The baseball compition had begun in February with the releasing of High Heat 2004 ,therefore I purchased the game .High Heat was not so good ,all of the faces of the players looked alike ,the gameplay was horrible ,and it wasn't a true baseball sim .So I decided to get another baseball game .I was going to get All-Star 2004 or World Series Baseball 2k3 .The reason I choose World Series was that it had better graphics ,and smooth gameplay .It also has ESPN style presentation .Though ,you have to get used the mechanics of the game .After you play game for about and hour ,you'll get used to it .The game is the best baseball game around it your looking for a real baseball game with great graphics and a game that is fun .When you choose your team ,you could pick throw-back jerseys . The game is great .The annocing is great ,it seems as if the annocers are have conversations .The fans if the crowd also trash-talk about the visiting team .If your a fan of baseball ,get the most realistic game this year ,Worl Series Baseball 2k3

Great baseball game!!

This game is awsome. There are legends like Nolan Ryan, Mike Schimdt and many more. The pitching is realistic and you can play the game like you're watching it on tv.The thing I hate about this game is that when the other team gets a hit and you're fielding The guy takes so long to get it out of his glove and throw it in. But this game is way better then asb 2004 and high heat 2004. I would buy this if i was you.

Best baseball game this year

This could be the worst baseball game I have ever played I couldn't even get through the first game. It is that bad. Do yourself a favor and don't get this game. Get All Star Baseball 2004 instead. You will thank me for it.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!

Ok,I'll tell you why this is a bad baseball game. First, the graphics are not to great. Almost all of the players look the same and don't even look like the players in real life. The stadiums are not great either. I only rented this game once and I got tired of playing this game after two days. I don't know why people like Sega Sports games because they are not good at all. A good thing about this game that I liked were the rosters, because they are the most updated. Also there are not a lot of features in this game as in other baseball games. This game is not worth [money]. Before buying it I would rent this game. I think the best baseball game would be AllStar Baseball 2004. If you are a real baseball fan, get this game. I already have this game and it is the best baseball game I ever played. The graphics are great, the gameplay is great, and there are so many more features than any baseball game! Don't hesitate to buy this game and if you don't buy it, you will regret it.

Very very disappointing

What a let down.... The intro is horrible, its a mix of "in game" replays, all blocky and no real videos of players. Then the game graphics is just AVERAGE. LOW FRAME RATE. The fielding, throwing, running, and all the motions are done well, looks very realistic. The replay is cool. However for some reason the game just seems CHOPPY.

The sound is bad, the ping or pong or sound of connecting the bat to the baseball is cheapy. The broadcasters are cool especially Rex "The Wonder Dog" Hudler, LOL, its a trip hearing his voice every time, this is one of the good things. Then when you start a game, it shows the players warming up on the field up close and the game starts, there is NO picture shot of the stadium! HUGE let down here. Then when you are fielding, the game goes back to "normal" game mode in 2 secs after the fielding is "done". So you CAN'T run around and check out the stadium in 360 fashion, since there is no stadium pics of any kind, you don't get to know the stadiums on this game! It fails to deliver "cool I can check out how the stadiums are," FORGET it! Then all the players looks the same, same thickness except for minor different stances. The player faces are mostly wrong except for few players which sega concentrated on.

The roster system is bad, after you make trades you can't set batting orders except during starts of each new game, and often the game says that you have "illegal roster(s)" and you have to "fix" them but one click of the button, very confusing cuz you dont know "what happened" to your team rosters and the manual dont help. The camera option is super horrible, you can only toggle pitcher/batter view for 1player vs computer games and NOT for 1player vs 1player. Basically after a baseball is hit the TV screen switches to the field view and the TV screen goes back to the normal game view in 2 secs, and since there is NO camera option for fielding, all you see is hit and field part, you dont ever get to see the ENTIRE ball travel; Also as a fielder you dont get to see the ball "coming" at you. The gameplay is decent. Overall this game is very average verging on crab cake. This is is even worse than some PS one baseball games such as the sony one. I made the wrong choice by not buying EA one...

Best Baseball game of the year

THIS IS A GREAT BASEBALL. ITS DIFFICLUT WITHOUT BEING FRUSTRATING. THE GRAPHICS ARE REALLY GOOD BUT NOT GREAT. PITCHING IS REALISTIC AS IS FIELDING. ITS CHALLENGING AND FUN. THE ONE ANNOYING THING IS THE COMMENTARY WHICH AT TIMES HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED ON A PLAY. DEFINATLY WORTH A BUY ESPECIALLY IF YOU DONT WANTTO SPEND THE MONEY FOR A 2004 GAME.

Gameplay is poor and Franchise is weak

This game was a major dissapointment. I'm a huge franchise fan and spend at least as much time dealing with that aspect as actually playing the on-field game. The franchise in WSB 2K3 is a big dissapointment. They've added a coaches aspect in which you need to hire a manager, pitching & hitting coaches and a scout. All the people are fictitious and it's really more of a nuisance than anything.

Gameplay itself is a nightmare. It is produced in a way that makes it look a little more like a TV broadcast than other games, but the positives end there. The players move very stiffly, the graphics are shoddy and the pitching interface is less than intuitive.

Don't waste your time - All Star Baseball 2004 is a far superior game.

Almost the best game ever

The graphics and gameplay are great. The sound quality, and ESPN presnetation is really cool. By far the one of the better baseball games I have ever played. I just think you can't give any sports game five stars that doesn't have online capabilities (no baseball game for the PS2 does, though). The only other minus is the team rosters. Don't expect to find your teams star prospects there.
