    The game offers strong graphics and sound as well as a good variety of modes, but it's held back somewhat by its lack of polish.

    Although it features perhaps the most impressive visuals to appear in a baseball game to date, there are too many flaws in the infrastructure that prevent it from reaching the upper echelons of baseball gaming.

    WSB for the Xbox feels much more like an upgrade than a complete overhaul...This game is easily the best baseball game on the market, but as fans of the genre know, that's not really saying much.

    It's far from perfect, but Sega's franchise is finally back on track after a prolonged slump.

But I still have a few beefs with it. The major one is, that you can't edit your rosters, You have to play with the default roster. I can't add Durham to the A's damn it. The other one is your player can only dive and not jump. But both are pretty easy to look past if your a baseball nut.… Full Review »

    This game is the best baseball game i have ever played. Couple of minor adjustments and it would be a 10. Otherwise I give it a 2 thumbs up!!!
