Great look to it but. some minor flaws.
I did have one that froze on me which had me annoyed but then it didn't happen since.
Now the great: Well the graphics are indeed real nice, almost as nice as the ones on nba 2k7, the feel of the stadium and players are real enjoyable.
The animation also is a major plus in this game which is always somewhat important.
Now the minor issue I have is this, I feel that eventually I get real bored playing it as it becomes extremely repetitive and I have only played 5 games. Even with the pitcher catcher communication being a big improvement in the game, I still feel the same things happen quite often.
However one thing I have noticed which gives it a tad more realism, sometimes when you have a pitcher who isn't hitting is pitches and is getting raddled well he gets hit hard alot during the game even if you do start hitting pitchers later on. I allowed 7 runs with Felix Hernandez in 2 innings and he left with 2 runners on, then the next pitcher shut down the next 2 batters.
So realism seems fine. To be honest this game is worth the try and it will be made for 9 players out of 10,its up to you to see where you find yourself.
