No game captures their sport like this game

Couldn't agree more.

This is the best sports series out there year after year, and they tend to make significant improvement with each iteration.

The problem with that statment stra8laced510, is that the User really dont have that much input in baseball games. for examples

Pitching- Just a mini game that has nothing to do with baseball( we all loved it though)

Batting- ur job is to aim with the left stick and press X and the game does the rest. I wish you can control the bunting instead of pressing circle

Feilding- just move player and press a base button. what trips me out about baseball games over the yrs is how they make u commit errors when the user has no impact. i mean why all of sudden my player drops a routine fly ball or my short stop throws over the 1st baseman head?

Base Running- Lets face it, you cant evolve this. However i wish Sony will use EA's base running system.


anyway just like NBA 2K10 and MLB 09, i'm buying it used or wait for a sale because sure the gameplay formula is still good(09 was boring with AI though) $60 for the same game since 07 a PS2 game. speaking of PS2, gameplay wise, PSP/PS2 version will play like PS3 version.

This game would of been a day 1 buy if they had added

1. Team Play- 7 players offline 9 vs 9 online
2. PSeye- why hasn't the face mapping made it to the PS3 version?
3. Mini Games- Sure HR derby is back but aint nothing. EA's pitching mini game was addictive.

I usually don't buy 'SportsGameXX' until 'SportsGameXX'+1 comes out.

For this I may make an exception. It looks and sounds spectacular.

Only thing that I think could make this better is veteran announcers. It would be great to hear the dynamic duo of Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall again.

I love this game series and i can't wait until i get paid on the 4th to go buy it The only thing i wish the makers of this series would do is put some kind of off the field content in it. for example: Big name endorsements, everyone knows that pros get endorsed to play with certain brands and what not. I think that would be a cool feature.
