Baseball Roundup 2004

Football games may have dwindled down to only two competitors on the major consoles, but baseball is still a vibrant videogame battleground, with four fully functional baseball sims battling it out for supremacy (and consumer dollars) this year (five, if you count the arcade title MLB Slugfest: Loaded). With so many games, it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff.

GameSpot took to the diamond and gave each title a thorough workover, choosing the best baseball game in a number of different categories including atmosphere, graphics, simulation depth, and online options. Even though the real MLB season is wrapping up, it's never too late to check out the GameSpot Baseball Roundup 2004 and find out which game will feed your baseball jones during the long wait for Spring Training 2005.
