Rating: Summary: Best Baseball Game Review: This game is awesome! It is very realistic. You can steal bases, hit batters, drop easy catches, make double plays, and about everything you can do in real life you can in this game! This is a very good game and it worth buying if you are a baseball fan!
Rating: Summary: Awesome rebuild of the EA Sports Baseball Franchise!! Review: This game is awesome!! I wanted a good baseball sim after giving up on High Heat (which always had problems on PC's), and EA Sports has come up with a dandy! There are some things that will ultimately need upgrading (for example, a meter showing the pitcher's fatigue level would be good), but this is a game that was rebuilt from the ground up and two years in the making. In an interview, the rep from EA Sports said there will be more features added next year. The graphics are amazing - the ballparks are rendered beautifully, and the players look more realistic than ever, right down to their motions. The franchise mode is cool too, with the goals listed by team. And the announcers are better than ever - for the first time, they don't sound disjointed in their commentary - in fact, sometimes, like on TV, the game will be going on, and they'll banter back and forth and seamlessly go back to calling the action when a ball is hit(and I may be a little biased with this - I'm a transplant from the SF Bay Area who spent many a night listening/watching to Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow, and watched Krukow win his 20th game in 1986 at the 'Stick) At one point, I just had the CPU play against itself, and my son and I watched the game, and it was like watching one on TV. Amazing!! If you're looking for a good baseball sim that doesn't crash on your desktop (I run XP by the way), that really captures the realism of America's pastime, this is the one to get this year!
Rating: Summary: Good game, but too easy... Review: This game is great if all you want to do is win. I mean everyone wants to win, but when all your pitchers are 20 game winners and all your hitters are batting over .300, it kinda takes some of the fun out of it. Granted, my team is the Yankees, but they're not as good as that, haha. One thing that I find extremely hard is base stealing. I haven't been able to pull it off yet! The only stolen bases my players have is when I sim the games. I could see if Pudge Rodriguez was catching it would be harder to steal, but Piazza?!?! And while Posada has gotten better at throwing guys out at second, he didn't get everybody, but in this game he has. It seems that whenever a player steals, the guy at the plate takes a called strike which isn't very realistic. The graphics are good and the ballparks look great. The players look pretty good, though some look better than others. For instance, Giambi doesn't look much like Giambi, but Pettitte looked just like Pettitte. Right down to the chin cleft. Also, the pitchers pitch just like they do in real life. It's especially fun when you have a pitcher that has a distinctive style. I laughed out loud when I played the Angels and Ben Weber came in to relieve the starter. He does that same jerky thing with his glove before he throws a pitch! I did like the fact that you can download updated rosters and even brand new players like Matsui and Contreras. One thing I don't like about the rosters is that when players are traded, they wear the same numbers and there is no way to change them. That is frustrating not only because of retired numbers, but also because you might get 2 or more players with the same number. Another thing I like is they actually have umpires and you can see them make the calls, though you can't argue the calls. I think they should have included base coaches too. All in all this was a fun game, but they could've made it a little better.
Rating: Summary: bla bla bla Review: this game is great. especially when you make it to the stanley cup finals. it is also great when you throw a touchdown, or make a huge 360 dunk. here is a hint: if you want to get a hat trick chose tiger woods, he is the best.
Rating: Summary: Game is starting to be an MVP Review: This game used to be the old series of Triple Play. The series that lagged in audio, and gameplay mechanics. This new game may help solve problems that we have been going through. I jumped into a regular exhibition game to check it oust, I have to say it is very realistic. Pac Bell Park is realistic. The instant replay is fantastic, some of the angles show realistic tv animation. Some of the players bodies are a little rendered but some of the big name stars are seen thoughout the game. The francise mode I have to say needs to be fixed up. In the start there is no draft and you will not find any free agents in the first year unless you create players. Home run derby takes place in a split screen, I rather have the orginal home run derby theat High Heat has. You will need to update your rosters at easports.com to get the roster updates and patches that fixes problems in baserunning like CPU running to 2nd on a normal base hit. I would reccomend this game, This seemes to be a game heading in the right direction Graphics A+ Gameplay B- Francise B Overall B
Rating: Summary: tHE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN Review: This is the game of the year. I enjoy playing this game so much. It has great graphics and the rosters are the same as the 2003 baseball season and that is the best thing ever and they also have a pitching bullpen just for the home tam and the vising team<br />
Rating: Summary: America's Pastime--MVP BASEBALL Review: What a game. This is no doubt the best baseball game in the world! The graphics are mouth dropping and the players look life like. You couldn't ask for anything better. There's an indepth Franchise, where you can run a team for 10 years. AWESOME! And then they have every other game mode possible. Like Home Run Showdown, Tournament, and Season. Quick advice, get this game if you LOVE BASEBALL. MVP BASEBALL rocks the house, don't buy High Heat or ALL STAR BASEBALL. EA you've done it again.
