    Taking the game online is just like taking any EA Sports game online. You get tourneys and ladders and all that but it lacks full league support.

    Most of it feels brought over from last year's model, and not touched up enough to really appeal like it should. It feels more like a ground-rule double than a line drive.

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?… Full Review »

A fantastic game.… Full Review »
