Ha, I mean he's clearly being a bit over the top for the sake of proving a point about The Trop, but I do think the pitching camera angle is close to the same one in Bases Loaded in that stadium.

I know it's easy to harp on the negatives and I'm guilty as charged but I do think we should mention two features that get no love in any review. One is the VIP feature and the other is the sports blog in franchise mode. These things are great and yet I never read about them.

I find it kind of odd this game is getting criticized like it is. Are you playing the same game I am?

christian, great thoughts on the game.
You are helping me along on a possible purchase. the franchise ipressions will be the creme de la creme though.

great stuff as always.

Bases Loaded--Best Baseball Game Ever!!

Nice article by the way.

Playoff mode should be thought of as an absolute essential mode in any sports game, like franchise mode is. Playoff games are the most fun games to play in so why not let people have access to the playoff atmosphere and sense of pressure? Playoff mode should be standard in every sports game. It was standard 20 years ago so why not now?

I don't believe the graphics are Super NES bad by any stretch. That being said -- it is REAL hard to play Fight Night Champion, NBA 2K11 & The Show and then come back to this game. Really hard. Graphically this game is just not up to par with the curent crop of sports games. I don't think that's even debatable.

I do really like the gameplay - shortcomings and all. If it had graphics even close to the Show I would never play any other game.

The game is great, it does so many things better than last years, and tops the competition in many areas, many. Im shocked that I am reading this. these graphics are better than what I am reading and the splash of life pumped into the game is not in the other game. I use the yankees v baltimore, 6 games in, no glitches, no bad animation, no funny a.i moment, and thw defense is dificult. I doubt your review will be honest. You seem to be playing up to the competitions fan base. 2k fans already bought the game or will buy it. Hurry up with your wish it was the show review.
