   Although this offering from 2k Sports took a bit to get use to, I managed to get a hang of it after a couple of games. I'm not sure as Although this offering from 2k Sports took a bit to get use to, I managed to get a hang of it after a couple of games. I'm not sure as to why this game is getting such a bad wrap. Predetermined dislike perhaps. As of my writing this the game already has a patch applied that was not present for previous reviewers. I'm also reviewing this as a baseball fan that just wants to enjoy a game and doesn't care about the little details. I don't get into the trading and all that, I'm just playing a season as my favorite team. My experience has been a little bit of a mixed bag, but enjoyable. Once you get the hang of pitching some real battles can be had. Batting is also well done once you learn to aim and control your contact points. Sliders are also important, as I customized mine right away. My first season game, not my first game as I played some quick games to set up my season sliders, was a very good one. I played as the Red Sox versus the Jays. The Jays took a 1 to 0 lead in the first and it was a battle from there on out. I finally got the bases loaded in the 6th scoring 2 runs by the end of the inning. Final score 2 to 1 in my favor. In the end and after many more games I can say that the assessment of this game by other reviewers just seems wrong. Once the game is set up the way it should be ("sliders"), and any real baseball game fan knows this, it plays very well in the end.… Expand

   Good lord have they learned nothing?? This game had the potential to be decent, but the ridiculous amount of minor issues make it unplayable. Good lord have they learned nothing?? This game had the potential to be decent, but the ridiculous amount of minor issues make it unplayable. I was playing through franchise mode with myself the new star shortstop of the redsox, and was really looking forward to the game. As it turned out, at least 5 times a game, there is some sort of glitch that makes me want to throw my controller at the screen. Either a fly ball will bounce off my star outfielder's head without him even trying to catch it, or I'll be chasing down a grounder and the runner will stop, etc etc. Usually those stupid glitches will cost me a hard fought game. The new menu system is terrible, its hard to get a simple stat like pitch count, can't change face or stance of create a player, the list goes on and one. After playing MLB09: the show for PS3, this game is crap. Too bad sony makes that one because I'd much rather play that on my xbox… Expand

The game contains several bugs, including players not catching easy fly balls, excessive home runs, and players running through each other when you run the bases. This game was huge disappointment. Next time I will read reviews before buying a game for 60 bucks!… Expand

   I am very disappointed in this title. If you are looking for baseball simulation with realistic game play, you will be disappointed. The I am very disappointed in this title. If you are looking for baseball simulation with realistic game play, you will be disappointed. The hitting is clumsy, I've hit 25 HRs in 3 games and I've have a pick off rate of almost 100%. In all fairness, I haven't played online yet, but I don't see how it can swing my opinion too much. Get it because it is the only baseball game for xbox360, but it is not a good one.… Expand

   This is one of the worst baseball games ive ever played, some aspects are realistic yes, but what counts, is not. The fact that I can throw This is one of the worst baseball games ive ever played, some aspects are realistic yes, but what counts, is not. The fact that I can throw the ball away, and then it skips to the next batter while the ball is rolling around, or the fact if i just skip right to when i wanna bat, and not wait for the pitcher to get all ready, all the sudden my runner on base, is no longer at the lead i had him at. There are many other glitches in the games, as well as how the game is mapped out for player performance. I am a diehard baseball fan, and its sickening this is the best xbox has to offer for a baseball game, someone please help!! Make something good!!!… Expand
