Been playing it for 2 days now...good stuff.
I haven't played a pro yakyu spirit game since part 2 and I was completely shocked how much it advanced. I have the PS2 version though (PS3 is still not on my must buy list yet) and I notice that the graphic quality dropped in favor of a more realistic animations, which is fine by me.
The swinging animations is what really surprised me....this has to be the only baseball game I've played with a true to life swinging mechanic for every at bat situation. Strikeouts can look really sick......(I saw an animation where the batter almost fell down by swinging so hard)
To others who did not like the cutscene for every no doubt HR can relax......it seems you have to be really on point to get that scene this year.....all my HRs have been without the cutscene.
The menu takes time to get used to....especially if you haven't played the series in a long time as myself but once you get used to it...its a breeze. Pennant mode is completely confusing to me at this point because I'm still not used to the training mechanics of the farm system.
Gameplay wise.....I've played on the Hard difficulty and there seems to be 1 problem I see:
Am I the only one to notice the CPU never throws balls like they used to? The CPU hammers the strikezone constantly. It has destroyed my method in hitting and I'm striking out way too much.
Anyone tried another difficulty where the CPU actually throws balls?
