That's just not fair. The game has problems, I agree. But it is not a 4.5.

After further reading.. it's clear the person who reviewed this title is unfamiliar with videogame baseball, or playing the sport the right way.

Who complains about having the shake off a catcher? Problems throwing out baserunners? Maybe he should have tried quick throws.

I'd like to thank my mother for teaching me to read as a child. Not only did the roadrunner comment regarding the dust clouds supply with my daily dose of laughter, but this review along with the community's comments have saved me $60. God bless you Mom. Cheers.

That review if you read it just doesn't hold anything back man. There is some seriously funny stuff in there. I'm sorry Brendan. I know people want to like this game. I really wanted to, but I have to say I agree with this review. This game is terrible. The only thing it has going for it is the smooth online. I could see this game becoming like allpro football and having a cult following because it is so bad it's good sort of thing. But that's about it.

Lol I bought halo wars and mlb 2k9 on the same day.. gamespot gave them an average of 5.5

And yet im overall happy with them both.

I don't understand their review. They claim that it is too easy to hit home runs on all difficulties. They say they hit 7 home runs with a-rod in 4 games, yet I have played 5 games on legend and have hit zero home runs. I just don't think they are being completely honest.

while i dont agree with a lot of this stuff, the game does seem to forget stats. i stole a base with a player and it didnt credit him with it.
