Better than what you read This game has been slammed all over the net. I totally disagree. The new pitching system is challenging but fun. same with hitting. It makes it feel more like real baseball. There are a few glitches in the cut scenes, and it can be a little slow to load, but overall, it is really fun, and the graphics are great. I can't believe it has gotten such bad reviews
