baseball

I am here to give you advice and tell you the truth about this game, so here is the news...

Graphics: Great, not amazing. Home Run King for GC had better graphics and batting stances then these, but not even close to the gameplay! Overall these are great graphics and if you are buying this baseball game because you want them, this is the way to go on XBOX. Also, The stadiums are AMAZING!

Gameplay: Fair. Unless you move like a snail it is soooooooo easy to hit the ball. Pitching is O.K. in this game, but the fastball that they say goes 100 MPH seems to go 1 MPH... it is that slow!!! The CPU is also dumb. I had a play where it was man on first and third with two outs and I hit a ground ball to the first baseman and he threw it home! Now what person would do that? Fielding is fine, but eveyone seems to do the NOMAR style throw in the infield... sidearm. Also, when you dive, you dive about ten feet. It is terrible!

Sound/Audio: The announcers are amazing! JOE BUCK and TIM McCARVER call all your games very well. these are the best announcers for any baseball game on any system.

Pros:

*Playable online
*Nice graphics
*Announcers

Cons:
*Gameplay
*Can only do one season at a time (NO FRANCHISE)
*Pitching/Batting...

This Xbox Live enabled title will begin turning double plays, throwing brush back pitches and clearing the fences for the 2003 Major League Baseball season. But this is the worst X-Box game... sort of.

It's not too bad of a game, but I've played better. A couple of cons that come to mind are:

1. You can't manually pinpoint where you want your pitch to go. Instead, you aim at a quadrant and then decide whether or not you want it to be a ball or a strike. It's far more fun to try to paint the corner by yourself.

2. You can switch out pitchers, but you can't make any other types of substitutions. Unless I've missed something, you can't put in a pinch hitter, or change out defensive position players.
