Definitely not what you expect in a PS3 baseball game. It felt like I was playing the Playstation 1 again..
The game is either too easy or too difficult. Chipper Jones, Brian McCann, and other above average MLB Players hit 2-3 home runs per game if you're good at it, and that gets old fast because it's simply unrealistic on that kind of basis. Your outfielders run way too slow to catch up to most of the CPU's hits.. but when you hit the ball they run as fast as they need to get you the out. Unless you use the batter's eye feature, 90% of the time you bat, you will hit a pop-up that the always all-star outfield will catch. When you try to catch the CPU's pop-ups.. getting in the right spot to make the usually easy catch is tricky.. sometimes the ball will land behind your outfielder while he still has his glove in the air staring into space while the CPU baserunner is on his way to third already. Definitely some annoying bugs present.
The trading cards feature is enjoyable, along with having the ability to unlock them through in-game achievements, but when gameplay is off this bad, it takes away from having the feature in the first place. The in-game sounds are too unrealistic.. the crack of the bat sounds like a cannon going off when you get a big hit.. and injuries are way too common.. diving to catch a ball with either an infielder or outfielder on a daily basis in season mode is likely to get you a 200 day injury.. in just a 162 game season.
