Or just wait like I did and get it used at the all-star break, in an effort to kill time between the NHL season and Madden. So far so good plenty entertained and the game feels like I just bought it at the all-star break.

For me, interest in baseball video game goes down once Jays season is clear they're not gonna make playoffs(or even come close). That point this year is right about now...Bautista on 15 day DL, half their pitchers are injured, and Lawrie is injured now too.


I barely play MLB once NHL comes out. But that's not for another 8 or so weeks

Getting through June was key for me.
