Now as you can tell this is a baseball game which is a sports game and if you don't like sports please look for something else alot of people have given this game bad review but they don't know that this is actually a very good game don't underestimate it for its graphics this is a hardcore baseball game.Now lets start with the season mode of course its just a plain season which starts in April and finishs around Augest or July now in this mode you have th epower to trade players,fire them,what practices they are doing, and etc. now in the Season there are usually 3 or 4 times you play one team which sound bad but actually isn't there are two features that one you can skip the game or you can use the fast game mode when the your paying a game you can just pasuse it and press fast game and the computer will do the rest of the innings which saves alot of time,and thats pretty much the season.Now theres a mode known as Sucess mode this for the RPG fans where you create a young college player whos want to make it into the majors and you devolp he's skills through out the way and any postion you can choose probobly the hardest is the pitcher but in ths mode most likelly your players will come out weak oh and you can aslo put them on free agents and register them in your faviorate team.There is also wii-mote mode where you use the Wii-mote as a bat and pitching,there is also home-run contests,exibition, and a league.The game also gives you points to purchase baseball cards,batting/pitching styles,various uniforms, and stages.Also the game takes place in the year of late 2006 early 2007 so Johan Santanna is still on the Twins =/
PRESENTAION:
MLB mashs up with power pros and it works very well.Many customization,amazing stat tracking,and impressive to detail.But it lacks the Wii feel
GRAPHICS:
Its simple.Slick and polished but it is still a PS2 port
SOUND:
Commentary on every player and every postion and every team...geys annoying after a-while but you hardley notice it.An crowd cheering too.
GAMEPLAY:
Its the baseball feel moving balls and bats around with tons of modes and you cna use the clasic controller,GameCube controller, or Wii-mote+Nunchuck.Its still port and lacks motion sensing and also lacks the onlin play which would be great in this game.
LASTING APPEAL:
Countless modes,full creation mode,the RPG like sucess mode, and season play with achivemnets.The lack of online play is whats keeping this game from a perfect 10 next year has to have online play.
This game is highly recommended for those Wii-owners that are looking for a hard-core baseball game this game hits it out of the park with a 9.5 out of 10
