great game, but has many AI flaws. definitely a step in the right direction though

the more I play this game the more i find errors with the AI. I've been playing on All-Star difficulty (2nd hardest) for a while now and the computer is almost flawless. Strikeouts come very seldom, and the computers defense is always there. I cant tell you how often I am robbed of home runs. Basically, every game u'll see a ridiculous play-of-the-year type wall climb to pick off your bomb. One time Grady Sizemore made full-extension wall climbs 3 times in one game, robbing me of a would be homers in real life. This is incredibly annoying and makes the great game frustrating and difficult. This is one thing that they need to fix. Grady SIzemore is understandable for 1, maybe even 2. But 3 is insane, and half the time ur being robbed by mediocre fielders. The other thing is the bridge between difficulty pro, and all-star, is very different. Pro, which is the second hardest difficulty is very easy, and ur most likely to score 10+ runs a game with at least 4 homers. All-star I score around 5, but loose much more often. Unless your homer is a shot, it will be robbed, so I get around 1-2 homers a game at most. The final thing is pitching is very difficult on All-Star, and despite how many runs my offense produces, my pitching always gives up. This too is frustrating because often the computer makes 7th, 8th inning comebacks from down by 4 and i loose. So, as I said there are AI flaws, theres more in the gameplay. But, overall this is so much better than 06, and great graphics help. solid gameplay despite these few flaws, and a good franchise mode. Learning curve is easy if you've played MVP baseball.
