I played the 2k series and Triple Play before that, so it's no surprise to hear I'm used to hitting .550 with 92 hr, and 250 rbi's. I'm used to striking out 20 a game and recording 50 wins. The last 2 years of the show have put me in my place. Last year, the realism took hold and I fell in love with playing REAL baseball. The problem was the bugs and online play.

So far, after 4 games, it's a ton better. Still takes too long to get in, but the games all ran smooth. I'm a franchise mode guy and can't say anything good or bad... it's still sweet but still the same. HR derby is fun with the girlfriend and the Move works well enough.
