I bought this game the day it was release in great anticipation of a great baseball game. I was sorely disappointed. Unless you have the reflexes of Mr. Miagi from Karate Kid, you can't get a hit. Even when you switch it to easy batting, you can't get a quality hit for anything. It has great features, and neat things to play around on, but the gameplay is for the birds. Go out and buy High Heat 2004 or even better MVP 2004. They are much better.
