    After the gushing review on ign and teamxbox, I was expecting the holy grail of baseball games. What I found instead was clunky, awful PS2 graphics, horrible textures and no xbox live support.

    Hands down, the best baseball videogame ever made. [Apr 2004, p.92]

    The sights and sounds of the game are nothing less than impressive and blow away what we’ve seen so far in the forthcoming competition.
