A lot of stats and management...I just don't have time for that when I feel like playing baseball.
The majority of the game is spent pressing buttons to time your throw or swing rather than actually mimicking the game of baseball. Though there is a Wii Remote mode you can go into where you swing the remote to both pitch and bat, it felt to me like that was just something kind of thrown in there for Wii owners.
There are a bunch of modes such as career that you can play. Once interesting mode was where you start your character literally from baseball school and try and get them to the major leagues. This mode however contained a HUGE amount of scrolling text to read; scrolling text that you don't care about. I found myself having a hard time wading through all the "read this then click x" screens.
There is a HUGE amount of statistics and things of that nature too keep you busy if you are into micromanagement of a mlb team. So there IS some value here for certain players, just not me.
Graphics are something you could only see on a Wii. Unimpressive and simple. Unfortunately awesome gameplay was not present here to draw away from the lack of eye candy.
Controls are ok though I was extremely disappointed to find that the motion sensing felt more like an afterthought.
Music was annoying.
Gameplay was tedious.
So if you are really leaning towards buying this game I would highly suggest giving it a rent first, or better yet keep on looking.
