Feels like you're playing a Baseball Telecast.
Graphics
Top not notch. Only 720p, wish there was 1080p option but I'll live.
Great, realistic animations.
Gameplay
Pitching too realistic for my taste, but works well with the game. If you paint the corners you may not always get the call. An your pitcher can be come frustrated adn miss easy pitches. Batting is just all about timing. Classic swing with 'X' is there over the dumb right stick swing.
Presentation
This is what won me over with this game. I felt like I was playing a Baseball telecast. Announcers are the best I have ever heard, ever. There are spot on with calls, argue over ball/strike calls, and can have some humor in them. If your patient and watch the cut screens, it just adds more realism to it. The pitcher will play the hidden ball trick with the 1st or 3rd baseman, batters will throw there bats or helmets when they strike-out, timeouts are called cause a beachball ends up on the field. Of course you'll never see these if you hit 'X' after every play but I like it.
Overall
Best Baseball came out there. All needed modes are there. On-line is workable. Rosters, stats, and skills are updated weekly via a roster download. So if you want your season to mirror what happens in real ife, trades, hot streaks, etc, this will keep it updated.
