I thought that this game was an excellent buy. I love the game and have been playing it almost daily. The controls that use the Wiimote and nunchuck took a little getting used to, but I found that the motions are very close to real life. Some of my struggles were, on defense once the ball was hit my guys would dive or jump, causing me to not make a lot of plays. Just any sudden jerk or movement of the Wiimote or nunchuck would cause players to do such. This can be frustrating at times, especially in close games. The only other issue I have had is swinging. Sometimes just hitching before a swing would cause the batter to just swing, obviously way to early. It is also very hard to judge where the ball will end up on a pitch so I find myself swinging at pitches in the dirt a lot. Timing tends to be a bit rough as well, but that can be adjusted in the options. Even with those issues I do find that this game was an excellent buy for my money and couldn't have been happier with the purchase!Read full review
I don't play many video games so I may not be the best person to submit a review. I've read other reviews where the Wii graphics are supposedly 'substandard'. I was very impressed with the graphics on this game especially the details of the various stadiums. Game play is good, as with most Wii games it takes a bit getting used to the remote and its functions. The play by play offered by ESPN's Jon Miller and Joe Morgan is a great addition to the game. And I normally can't stand listening to them call a game! The commentary adds a lot to the realistic feel to the game. Its a fun game. I dont know how it compares to other games on other systems but I like it and feel I got my money's worth.
This game has the most enjoyable hitting interface on the Wii. You "swing" or "flick" the Wiimote and get sort of the feel of being a Major Leaguer. This game is sort of a home run derby, as it seems most logical to aim your nunchuk up for deep flyballs (i.e. homers). I hit back-to-back dingers off Brandon Webb of the D-Backs after he had shut me out for 5 innings and was relieved that he was finally getting "tired." The pitching controls are pinpoint and don't take much time to set up. I seem to have pretty good control with most pitchers I throw so I'm not sure how accurate this interface really is. The fielding is a bit sloppy, as I've flipped balls from shortstop to second base and vice versa to start double plays, only to find that the fielder didn't catch the ball. I've also had another of my fielders run over me as I was trying to cover first base. Therefore, I give this an average rating for its slop. Overall, it is a fun game. Of course, this is based on less than 20 games played via single player. I don't know what two player is like, so this is really a partial review.Read full review
I've been playing it almost nonstop since I got it. The biggest complaint I would have is the lack of response from some of the controls (sliding is a constant challenge, wall climbs are cumbersome, diving catches are difficult). Some of the characters are incredibly detailed, especially for anything on the Wi. Any casual gamer into baseball would like this game, most definitely, but if you're expecting rocket science and extraordinarily high graphic quality, look elsewhere.
I've been playing this game for about 8 of the last 24hours, mostly because it's such a pleasant surprise. The game's best feature is its use of the motion control technology. If your measure of a Wii game includes effective, extensive use of the wiimote, you'll be very pleased with this title. And, if you're not into motion control...well, why didn't you get an Xbox to begin with?! :)
