What can I say about this game? Well if you have the time and patience to stick this out, it is well worth it. The season and career options are fantastic if you like the realism of the sport and conversely if you just fancy a single game against a mate then the enjoyment factor is there also.

Theres a few little snags when it comes to accuracy of rosters (for example me being a Cubs fan I did initially want koske on the game and he was signed early in the off season last year, but there is no sign of him on the game)

As for gameplay itself, the controls are fantastic and once you sort out the rhythmn and timing of hitting its highly rewarding to hit a game winning grand slam out of the park. The graphics are pretty good but I feel dont use the full opportunity that next generation consoles provide, so I'm hoping that next year this improves. The AI is average and occasionally you get misfields on both sides that really shouldnt happen, but most of the time you get accurate gameplay.

This game completely kills the opposition of MLB 2K8 and so i thoroughly recommend getting this game (or waiting until MLB 09 The Show comes out in March!!)
