Timing is everything in hitting. And direction of your swing. Its tough to he an inside pitch to the opposite field just like real life. And yes most homeruns hit in real life are hit near perfectly. With timing that is. Also changeups are hard to hit, always out in front in real life unless you expect it. Get a clue this game is great....minor leagues, owner mode, its awesome.… Expand

   To put it simply, this is the best baseball game ever made. It is 2008 and still, there is not a better baseball game out their. A.I. is To put it simply, this is the best baseball game ever made. It is 2008 and still, there is not a better baseball game out their. A.I. is good, yet tough. Nothing is more satisifing than turning a perfect double play or hitting the ball the opposite way. Both of which are very possible in this game because it has very few flaws. I just have one question to ask EA. I understand that Ichiro is one of the best hitters in the game, but why is he also the best power hitter?… Expand

   This is easily the best baseball sim of the past 5 years. Anyone who critiques the hitting and pitching systems obviously doesn't know This is easily the best baseball sim of the past 5 years. Anyone who critiques the hitting and pitching systems obviously doesn't know very much about the game of baseball. The physics in this game are perfect, the pitching is superlative, and the fielding and all around gameplay is incredible. I gave this game a 9 becuase the online component could have been alot better. With only 5 inning ranked games (you could play 9 innings, but that would be unranked) and a slight delay in some of the controls, it was a disappointment how they dropped the proverbial ball with online play.… Expand

   The gameplay is solid and with the variables, it's tough to complain. The AI is TOO good, though. I've yet to see someone make a The gameplay is solid and with the variables, it's tough to complain. The AI is TOO good, though. I've yet to see someone make a bad decision (fielding or baserunning). The franchise is great until you realize EVERYONE is a Hall of Famer. Hitting stats are out of this world good and there are 25+ guys who are better than Barry Bonds at the plate. Pitchers are the opposite. Their stuff sucks compared to the original players and they make it up with control. Also, there are too many starters who only have 1 other pitch (2 total). Like last year, you can edit any player even within the dynasty/owner mode. One thing I'd like them to add is potential and a break down of a pitcher's pitches to the player cards. It's annoying having to use edit player to see whether the guy's stuff is any good. Trading is very realistic and sometimes extremely frustrating when trying to unload an aaging, high-priced vet. The owner mode is cool the first few years but if you start winning it gets old. What's cool is that you can have any payroll you want--just make enough (win enough) to cover it. Creating the ballpark in owner mode sucks; the parks are predesigned and there are only 4-5. Overall, the game is good and enjoyable. I haven't played ESPN so I can't compare the two but you will definitely get your money's worth from MVP Baseball 2006 despite its flaws.… Expand

But i marked off major points for theThe six is for the actual baseball portion of the game, which is great, the best I have ever played. But i marked off major points for the horrible additions they made this year. owner mode is the worst single playing mode that I have ever seen in a baseball game. They start you off with a tiny stadium and you have to earn money, mostly by cutting cost on players, in order to break even for the first year. Who the hell wants to cut back on their star players in a baseball game. THEY ARE THE REASON YOU WANT TO PLAY THE GAME! plus the more you initially cut back on the budget the less money you get from tv and ads, which defeats the purpose of cutting coasts. While it may get a little easier to make some money down the line, a few years down the line if you dont get fired for loosing money first, you till do not have enough to get the stuff you want. It is just stupid. why would anyone want to start off with the yankees or redsox and then play in a park that only holds 20k people? One of the best thing about a large market sports team is that they have alot of money, alot of built in fans, and a huge ballpark. You get none of these in owner mode. This concept is moronic and has absolutly no place in a baseball game. if you want to play it for its good aspect, which are much the same as last year, do not bother with owner mode, they still have dynasty mode without all the stupidity, so you would be much better off with that.… Expand

   Worst hitting I have seen in any baseball game. I honestly cant bellieve how bad the hitting is. How can they call this baseball? Last time I Worst hitting I have seen in any baseball game. I honestly cant bellieve how bad the hitting is. How can they call this baseball? Last time I played baseball, I had to put the bat on the ball in order to hit it...not simply swing in the general direction of the ball. This is ridiculous! Save your money, this one is a horrible RIP OFF!… Expand
