Very disapointing, and I didnt even expect much from it. MLB: The Show for my PS2 was much better than this.

I am an MVP fan, and of course i was crushed when they stopped making MVP baseball, but I easily got used to MLB: The Show which was just as good, fun, and enjoyable. First up, I figured that the graphics had to be better than MLB: The Show for PS2 (which had nice graphics), well, I was wrong. The graphics totally lack in detail, everything is too shiny and geometric and 3D, and the image of the players looks distorted. The graphics of the players dont look real at all, as i said, they are all very shiny and glossy looking, and the body shapes look too circular and geometric. Even the fields look unrealistic. The camera angles are terrible, they never seem to zoom in at the right time in the outfield, and when the ball is hit to the infield they zoom in too much, and at times all you can see is your player in which you are controlling.
Those are just the graphics though, the game-play isn't a joy to use either. Fielding is sluggish and slow, and the throw animations are terrible. I dont really like pitching either, unlike MLB: The Show and MVP Baseball instead of the pitch meter they have a new animation for pitches which is terrible. The batting is ok, it takes a little bit to get used to, but it's nothing special.
Overall, it seems the only good thing about the game is the commentating which is ok. The game hasnt froze yet, which seems to be a problem with some people, but then again, I only played 2 games. I couldnt stand playing it anymore. I dont have anything against the game, but it is very disappointing that this is what they call next-gen.
