They didn't mislead anyone in advertising for the game.(I'm not suggesting you are thinking this) Maybe they want to see if they have a money maker here. If not, this could be a one and done deal.

The thing is, they COULD have had a big money maker. I firmly believe there is a large market of guys like me. I'm 31 with wife, kids, job. I get maybe 30min to an hour daily.

I, and I think many others in my age range would love the classic two button gameplay with modern presentation. I told two of my fellow teachers and and 4-5 of my high school students about. The adults were super excited until I told them no stats. The teens thought it was cool until I told them they had to pay for it on their phones. I just don't know what the market is unfortunately.

That's the big word, though, is could, we won't know.

I'm just saying, to spend money, you need to make money first.

Maybe if there is a strong enough support on the customers end, it could lead to bigger and better things in the near future.

I'm sure just adding mutli player in the summer might boost their market place.

Played the demo several times. If it were less than $10, I would've bought. At $20, I'm not sure if I'll play it enough to make it worth it. Would like to have a game to play on my TV, rather playing MVP 05 on my PC, so I still might think about it. If it tracked stats, that would've helped sell me.

My thoughts exactly. This would have been an easy purchase on my 3DS.

But MLB helped finance this. Why not add at least some basic stats. I feel like I'm beating a dead horse but this was soooo close to being great. As it stands it is just ok.

I'm not here to get into an argument but truth be told the game sounds like a let down. Sure you get some quick and "classic" gameplay. You also get all the teams and a majority of the players. That may be fun for a while but at the end of the day there has to be something to add to the time spent playing. It's simple, and as so many have stated, it's stats. Just some simple stats is all that is needed.

The price is also just too high. There isn't anything it offers to justify a $20 price point. For those happy with the game and price that's fine but you can't deny that there are more people wanting stats and a lower price than those happy with the product. Add stats and lower the price to $15 and the sales will happen.

If you want to keep stats keep them in a spiral notebook.



Just like back in the day.

Played the demo, I knew what to expect after seeing the videos. Its good for what it is. A retro game at too high of a price. I have the show and as a PS3 user if i am not happy with it. Ii have import options for baseball games. Konami needs to bring bobbleheads stateside for the PS3 and its cheaper to import than DL this
