    It is a good game that I would recommend to a friend, but the career mode, which is the main reason I buy these games, is extremely difficult. The amount of attributes you can give your player is the same, but hitting or getting outs is 10 times as difficult. My fielders run away from the ball. It also takes too many training points to improve. My fielder was a 65 in speed and I put 400 points into his speed and he became a 68. But I am just venting, I probably just need to work at it more. It is a fun game to play, and the franchise mode and the actualy gameplay are great.

    This game just came out today and i got it. it is way better then last years version with the new superstar type thing where u make your own player and adjust his grip on the bat. The feilds are also more relistic. i would definitly recommend anyone to buy this game

    I would rarely lose in last years game, this year they added an additional difficulty level as well as timing and location on the swing. If you are not looking to be challenged or have a more "realistic" experience don't buy the game.

    Good but Frustrating

    Overall game is good, but the mode Road to the Show where you create your own player and put him through the majors is nearly impossible. You cant get a good hit even if you time the hit perfectly and 9/10 you hit a grounder or a pop up. And the attributes take forever to upgrade. You get over 400 points and your running skill only goes up 4 points. If you want the game for the Career mode, dont get it. You will only spend hours and hours yelling at your T.V. But if you just want to play it for fun, then get it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
