Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2013 Review (PS Vita)

[DaReapa]

If the MLB license is no longer 2K Sports/1st party publisher exclusive, then I would love to see Konami put out an MLB game here in the states. Could you imagine the possibilities stemming from a quality competition between this and The Show?!

In my opinion, yes.

Yep. PYS Vita plays superbly and looks and sounds much better.

The hitting mechanic at the heart of the game is pure fun and far ahead of any other contemporary baseball title. It's intuitive, satisfying and transparent.

The criteria the player must meet to get a hit, bunt or homerun are laid out in front of you. You will always know why the ball did what it did because of the physics, player abilities and ultimately your own skill with the controls. That can't really be said of The Show where there's a nagging doubt of something deciding success and failure on a random basis.

If you've ever been frustrated with The Show's hitting, had trouble reading pitches, wondered why that wheelhouse perfectly timed slug didn't go out of the park or been bogged down in endless slider tweaking, then PYS is really worth checking out.

Great to see a review on the front page.

It is better than The Show and any other sports game on the Vita. Excellent job JYoung!

Turns out.. I ordered 2012 and not 2013... How much different are the two?
