Oh yeah. I think it is the BEST Baseball game ever made. I bought it after renting All-Star Baseball and High Heat. I thought those two games were terrible.

I have only four problems with the game:

1. It's too hard to strike out people. They rarely swing at anything that is just a hair out of the strike zone. It angers me.

2. Re-signing players is not realistic. I resigned some really good people under 500 each. I have only seen 2 people ask for a lot more money then what were making.

3. No fantasy draft. I like to draft a team because it evens out the playing field. But the only draft is the rookie draft in franchise mode.

4. Stealing bases is impossible. My team has 4 stolen bases in 30 attempts. And 3 of those steals are from simulated games!

Other then that the game is near perfect. The graphics are great and the music is way better then NBA Live and Madden. The commentating is not over repetitive and it is actually challenging to win. And the fact that you can intervene when you sim is the best feature for any sports game since the franchise mode was put in.
