    Not much can be said about this game. You have your season, batting practice, and just playing a game for fun modes. This game is all about the kids. No adults what so ever. A couple bad things about this game is tha... Read Full Review

    Since this game was made by a developer that didn't quite release it to the full public, most of you won't know what I'm talking about throughout this review. For those of you who have never heard of the series, these "B... Read Full Review
