EVERYTHING VIDEO GAMES

The previous baseball game's haven't been that great, and is this years game any better? Well in some area's, yes and no. This year's game is better than lasts years game but it isn't what we expected it to be. This years presentation seems to be worse than last years. There are many sloppy graphic slips every now and than; also the batting and pitchers mound presentation is very crappy, and not well done. But with the decrease in graphics the games framerate is much, much better. The game finally runs smoothly and virtually no skips or lag. Also there are plenty of new additions to make the game feel fresh. MLB today incorporates all of today's stats and make the game feel very really. Also the commentary has gotten a nice upgrade, they no longer sound like robots, but talk about past games and real statistics. Along with this, they have introduce Hurry up, this is an option to skip all those boring and annoying cut scenes. Personally this is a major addition. The best addition is the new career mode. This is where you can create your own player and move up through the ranks and become a hall of famer. The idea of this is good, but there are a few problems. Starting off its impossible to hit the ball, and there isn't enough depth to make it feel real.  Finally the gameplay has gotten much better. The AI this time around is much smarter playing with you, but at times will overthrow the ball. 2K has also improved the batting and pitching mechanics, so its not that complicated. Last year at times it was impossible to pitch, seriously this game is rated E, for everyone even 5 year olds. The gameplay may have improved but there are plenty of new bugs, and these bugs appear quite frequently taking a lot away from the game.  Overall this game is pretty good, but could have been much better, for this year I  will stick to MLB the show. I rate this game 7/10.
