Too little of a nice idea
The graphics are very shiny, the stadiums look pretty good, the thing that bothered me though was that almost all the power hitters looked like they were taking lots of steroids. This is a minor thing but can be a little annoying at times.
The sounds of the game are present, with a pretty funny announcer who shouts out some memorable lines that are just too funny. The players don't talk themselves, let alone most of the time their mouths don't even move, even when look at the umpire and trying to say something.
The big problem with the game is that its gameplay is very basic, and does capture the whole heroic part, but there is no replay to this game. There is a rookie challenge mode, in which you must take your rookie from bottom to top, and then win the world series. Sounds all fun, and it is. You will complete a series of challenges in game against people. You will spend maybe 4 to 6 hours of gameplay here depending on skill. But once you win, its over. There is no point in going back and playing the challenge again, and all you can do is play online or quick play, which is pretty disappointing.
Overall if the game was pushed a little further, with a season mode or something, this game would be a must buy, if you want to check the game out, rent it.
