Why all the good reviews?

This game has received solid reviews from Amazon.com customers as well as web sites dedicated to gaming and I just don't get it. Sure, it has some nice features (franchise, downloads, historical players & teams), but the graphics and gameplay are quite weak so why bother with all of those bells and whistles? Do yourself a favor and check out HH 2004 or MVP 2003.

best baseball game i've ever played

2004 is a huge upgrade on previus editions. this game is much improved and all the functions it lacked last year it has now. the presentation is the best ive seen. it is actually about baseball. last years was just a waterfall? definetly recommend this game. only small flaw is the actuall fielding still good, could of been better although.
havent played the rest of this years games but i would highly recomend this game. 5/5 stars easily great game

Good to a point

This is one of the best games as far as simulation goes. It also has a lot of extra things like All Time and Negro League greats. The place that it kind of falls off is in commentation and the batting controls.

Maybe spending only a week is too short to adjust to the way you need to control the tilt and position of the batting cursor at the same time, but it just seemed too much to me. You should be able to handle where the ball goes by timing your swing, but that's just me.

The only other area that I had a complaint with was the announcers. It really started to get repetitive about every 5th inning.

The high points are graphics and simulation. Unless you understand the concept of the Rule 5 draft, don't even try and turn it on. It's a little difficult for the common fan to understand, and the way that it's encorporated is a little difficult as well.

I got this for Xmas and I can't get into. It's extremely hard to hit and extremely easy to field. All the bells and whistles for extras are nice but I found the game play difficult on the offensive end and too easy defensively. Perhaps I should spend more time w/it but I think I'll wait for a newer improved baseball game...

I was a little worried about buying this game cause I didn't really like last years game... After i got home and started playing i throughly enjoyed it, the animations are realistic, the franchise mode is so detailed it's awsome.. I just hope that they have alot of roster downloads through out the year???

Greatest baseball game in a long time

This game is some much better then last years game. The batting is so much better. Its not as easy to hit a home run. the graphics are pretty impresive. And the computer AI actully has a brain, that can make the game a challange and more fun.

excellent

this game is prolly the best game that has been made. it has everything, everything is better, the theme of the throw back era is great. only one thing i really don't like is that it is hard to score runs, and easy to shut your oppent down, but all in all this is a purchase you will not regret.

Great game and definately worth a rating of five stars. Graphics alone are awesome. Plus being able to play with the "Legend" players, and stars of the Negro League are a major plus too. Lots of new options available with this game as well. The game play is excellent, as well as, the total package overall. I agree with Acclaim this is the best baseball game yet, or at least I have seen so far. Try it. I think you will like it.

Don't waste your time
