Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Simply put, this is the best baseball game, and maybe the best sports game ever. Sega perfectly blended great gameplay, stellar graphics, and tons of extras to keep this addictive. Let me quickly compare the other 3 basball titles:
ASB - Probably the most realistic, but easily the most boring to actually play. Good graphics, and it's very in depth...too bad the batter/pitcher interface stinks. This game just isn't fun.
High Heat - I had this and returned it. The graphics are AWFUL, this game looks like it's from 1997. Game controls are cumbersome. There is nothing slick or sexy about this game, everything looks generic. Very intense franchise mode though, you manage all the way down through A ball. There's also a slider for every conceivable option, which is nice.
MVP - 2nd best game after WSB 2K3. Admittedly, it's pretty good, but WSB just has it beat in every category. I didn't like how you just swing at pitches, rather than aim your swing. The pitch meter (a la golf games) doesn't work well in a baseball context.
Then there's WSB 2K3. The graphics are amazing, and the player animations just make it better. Stadiums and fields were rendered to perfection, even city buildings near stadiums were captured perfectly. Player faces are almost photo-realistic. The gameplay itself is easy to understand, but not simple enough that it requires no skill. Scores usually reflect real games, with some pitcher dominated 2-1 games, some real exciting slug fests, and some that are in between. And you'll see all kinds of hits and outs and different plays, there's a TON of variation. The add-ons are sweet. ESPN is partnered with it so that the whole game has an ESPN broadcast/SportsCenter feel to it, complete with graphics and music. The franchise mode is great, with everything you can imagine. There's a home run challenge, and some on-line capabilities I haven't explored yet. Each team even has 4 retro and one alternate jersey, which I love...there's 5 old ballparks and HOF players to play with. Pretty good adjustability too with the sliders.
Look, this is the best baseball game for now, and I am an EA loyalist saying that. You could get MVP and be happy, but get WSB 2K3 and be ecstatic instead.
