This game was like a 5.0 before the 1.1 patch. I couldn't save my Franchises, the feilding mistakes and glitches were horrible. The Patch fixed this big time. Now it feels like a real ball game. I usually hate swing sticks but the one in this game grew on me. And it seems to duplicate alot of players actual hitting tendencies. Like David Wright will go strong the other way if you pitch him high outside and if you go low on Delgado he is gonna crush it. It just seems like the real players are actually hitting. The pitching interface is pretty cool (using the analog stick to throw and control pitches) They still need a roster Update for opening day rosters. If this had that road to the show kind of feature i would have given this a 9.0 I run it on a 9800 gtx+ on all maxed out setting and it runs amazingly smooth and looks really good. Mlb the Show's player models look a better and alot more accurate. Really low system requirements to play this game and it only costs 20 bucks. Overall a really good baseball game.
