Got in 2 innings before the kids kicked me off. Ha. It’s an improvement and you can tell they put a lot of effort into the game but at its core it’s still RBI baseball.

That sounds great.

I played a couple of games this morning. Here are the good and the bad:

The Good:

• The pitching motions & batting stances look incredible. Even better than MLB The Show
• The graphics are much improved from a couple of years ago, same with player models
• The stadiums look good and the game is a nice fun pick-up-and-play game
• Simple controls - nice rosters. 25 players with about 10-12 "reserves" in the minors.

The Bad:

• All other animations are either non-existent or terrible
• Button response time on defense is so bad that I had to turn on auto-fielding
• Not only does it take like 5 mins to load a game (XBO), but there is like a 20-25 second loading screen between innings
• While the models are improved, they still are not great. Heads seem weirdly attached.
• The sound is terrible.

For a game that is supposed to be a quick pick and play type game, that is really bad. Seems like a game killer if they can’t patch that.

I might pick up the iOS version - hopefully it won’t have the same issues.

Sounds feel like a pick up and play game as much as before. I was getting smoked on rookie.

Is it hard to see the ball at times or is it me?

The load between innings is what turned me off most about the game last year. I looked at a couple of youtube videos and the load into game and between innings did not seem to be what was reported earlier. It didn't seem that bad to me.

I don’t mind it at all
