Carlos Delgado is a masher...he should be able to hit the ball 500 feet...after 89 games, he has 2 HRs. The lefty glitch is well discussed on EAs forums and constitutes what I believe is a very serious flaw in the game.
The computer is god. It darn near NEVER makes an error on defense, and makes about 95% of the great sliding, diving, leaping, over the shoulder, shoestring, home run robbing web gem plays it's at all possible to make. This is not a realistic representation. I've tried really slowing down the CPU's infielders to stop all the great catches down the foul lines and into shallow center field and it doesn't help.
Meanwhile on the basepaths, the computer is an inept two year old with downs syndrome. As I've said I've played 89 games of season one in my dynasty and the computer has stolen an eye popping TWO bases against me...this is also not right. I've upped the computer's aggressive to +50 and its baserunning speed some as well and it's starting now to make some attempts finally...we'll see if that helps.
Before I say anything else, let me add that I've been playing simulators for ten years now and have mastered them all with incredible ease...I'm VERY good with these things...I've had whole teams hit .450 and pitch 1.50.
But on defense, it's nearly impossible for me to make leaping catches...especially as infielders going back for a ball over their heads. Bret Boone is a pretty darned good infielder, but he doesn't get 1/3 as far down the foul line as every other CPU opponant does to shag a flyball...frustrating? You bet.
Also, I've heard comments about the dynasty mode's player progression being broken...I haven't gotten to the next season yet so I don't know for sure, but if Chris Snelling and Jamal Strong (who BTW should have a speed rating of about like 90...NOT 44) don't improve, the minor league feature will be wasted.
And EA really needs to work on the notification system in the GMs e-mail inbox...I've got about seventeen gazillion notifications that player X leads the league with 10 HRs, 20, 30...etc. How can Carlos Beltran be the first to 20 doubles when Magglio Ordonez got there a week ago. LOL
With all those complaints, why have I given it 4 stars? Gameplay is very realistic, crowd noise is fantastic, though the choppy goofy looking spectators make me laugh most of the time. Aside from the lefty glitch, a skilled player can get his team to hit at a very realistic clip. It takes skill to pitch for the first time I've ever seen. Fielding is smooth and well done. Hitting requires plate discipline and the CPU pitcher actually makes mistakes, throws pitches out of the strike zone, and right into your wheelhouse if you wait for them. In previous games there was no benefit to waiting for good pitches because the CPU was always throwing strikes.
Another positive note about pitching...the CPU will chase pitches out of the zone...especially when you're ahead in the count...if you fall into a pattern, the CPU will figure it out and start nailing you...and the more perfect you try to be with the effectiveness part of the pitch, the harder it is to throw it accurately, which is a great new feature.
Many here have discussed all of the nice features of this game so no need to add anything else.
Overall...great solid baseball game...but there are some nagging problems that I'd like to see EA fix in its next release.
Pros: 1. The Freedom to freely field at your own pleasure (finally)
2. The same ol' good pitcher-batter interface
3. AAA and AA teams have you playing as the prospects (YAY!)
4. Chemistry a good add-on to the Dynasty Mode
5. Manage a Dynasty Long after your Grandkids are Dead (120 Years!)
Cons: 1. EVERYONE DIVES! (Now People like Mo Vaughn can be superfielder for only 9.95!)
2. Dynasty Progression is too erratic (they basically either never improve for 3 years or jump 20 contact and power in a Spring Training!)
3. Commentary is too sparse (BEEF IT UP!)
4. Doesn't really feel like you're at a Baseball game (the clapping after pitches and the boring commentary make it feel like a game of Golf or a Tennis match!)
5. Barry Bonds did the LaVar Arrington (not in the union)
6. Rosters definitely do not feel like they were January 15, 2004 rosters (for one thing, Kevin Young is not on the Pirates anymore, he's on the Twins... Since JUNE!!!)
7. Spam never belongs in a managers e-mail (it's sparse, but can't you get a spam blocker or something?)
FINAL VERDICT: I don't feel like I can just play this and get the feel of the game like I do when I go to a real game. But in my mind, I'd buy it, since it's the best out there (Iv'e never played ASB, but ESPN looks like a real sucker this year)
I was looking forward to this game since November. I must say I'm disappointed so far. Maybe it'll grow on me. If not I can always go back to playing 2003.
1) Commentary done by Kruke and Kuipe, of the Bay Area SF Giants commentating team. This is a big plus for me, as I live here in San Francisco, and enjoy hearing familiar voices while I play.
2) Extensive minor league coverage. I love how you can play as a minor leaguer, and the teams, in season mode, show together, so you can sim/play all the games scheduled for play, including, MLB, and double and triple A, each and every seasonal day.
3) Great EA gameplay; EA is known for its great gameplay, in every Sports title they produce. This game has it.
Other than that, that is about it. I thought the graphics were lagging, at best. I notice the characters look "flat" on my television monitor. Anyone else notice this? I have around 6 baseball games on the current gen systems, and this game has the flattest characters of all my games.
I would recommend this game, at the current low price. It will never sell above $20 now, but I wouldn't pay that high of a price. It is certainly worth $10 or less.
Great job EA!
