I don't know why a lot of people don't like this game considering how good a lot of things are. The new pitching is really cool. if you scout somebody with inside edge (also cool) the catcher will tell you what type of pitch to throw and where to throw it based on the hitters tendencies. also if you scout a pitcher it tells you how likely one type of pitch could be throw and 3 spots of where it might go, so you could move the analog stick there and if your right it will be hit better, or you will know its a ball. The animations are not as bad as people are saying. the only animation i personally think is pretty bad is one of the throwing animations when they jerk their head to the side really fast. it just looks fake. the other animations are good though. much better than the xbox (played it at friends). The commentary by Joe Morgan and Jon Miller sounds really nice and it almost sounds real. The music in the game is not very good unless you like screaming and hippie music. and the things the crowd screams are really cheesy but what ever. The graphics are really good in this. i dont why why people are putting them down. The lighting is truly amazing in this game. the further you go into the game the sun begins to set and the shadows on the field move. and its not like you don't see it it all happens during the game not in between innings. And the fields look really good too. They look like the real thing. i live in NY and the Shea stadium looks just like the real things right down to the littlest detail. Also the player cloth movement is pretty cool, and like some people are saying it doesnt look like they have a gut sometimes it looks like it would normally look on a real person. and speaking of guts i think David Ortiz and Bartolo Colon went on trim spa over the off season cause man did they lose some weight. Yes that is a problem everyone looks the same weight. But the faces are not as bad as people say. some people you would be able to pick out who they were just by looking at their face others not so much. Oh yea the new hitting stick. Basically you just pull back on the right analog stick before the pitcher pitches the ball and then push up for a power swing or just let go for contact. It takes getting used to but it is fun and realistic after a while. The difficulty of this game is pretty easy even on legend so you will want to adjust your sliders to your liking but thats where the problem comes in. unless you have a memory card you need to either format your hard drive (erases all your saved games) or just take it out and use a memory card for this game because if you dont the game will freeze. If you plan on playing online just get a memory card and transfer your account onto it. trust me. So overall this game is pretty damn good. There is only a few stupid bugs but the greatness of the game helps you to not even notice them. If you only have a passing interest in baseball rent it if you like baseball get it and if you really like baseball its a no brainier just get it already. and if you dont like it right away just keep playing it cause you will. and the just right difficulty is because you can adjust the sliders.
