Besides a few minor bugs and the fact that I'm lucky with one that's not freezing, this is a very solid baseball game.

This is one of the first games where I kept reading the forum before it came out. Yeah there's issues with it freezing and other things, and I agree they made a bad decision in pushing this product so fast. Possibly they did it because they knew they could bring out patches to fix it? They just didn't plan on the freeze glitch. But enough with that, I have a good copy and I'll explain my opinion. All I've heard about is the utterly bad fielding, the graphics not looking like the screenshots. Well the fielding thing is a little annoying, but not that bad, and it's something that can be looked past, not to mention it doesn't happen that often. Wow I give up a base hit, I'll probably be able to get adapted to it so I can make a play on it. I haven't had any issues where the analog control just doesn't work. The presentation is still better than anything EA has ever put out. I like how they recap with home runs or big plays when someone comes up to bat. The commentary is so fluent. I created a player and it doesn't hesitate at all to say the name, and they just don't say generic things. It is like watching baseball on ESPN. The inside edge and the ability to scout players is probably the most intuitive option or mode in a sports game that I've ever seen. The crowd is nice, it's at the level of PS1 after 15 years. LAWLERS!!! Franchise mode is deep, well pretty much what you expect out of one. The gameplay is smooth, the animations are better, and the graphics do look polished.
