THE GOOD: The graphics are great, the challenge is also great. The game isn't weak in that it IS possible to lose to the computer.
THE BAD: several little things that can get really annoying
SUMMARY: the graphics are great, and I love the fact that i haven't been able to get on an everlasting win streak in the game so far. neither have i been able to reach the 100+ home run mark in one season. it seems that i am keeping a "realistic" pace with the game. Also, i've lost more games so far in a season than i ever have in either the '98 or 2000 versions of TP. I am actually losing, and that's a good thing for me. I like realism, to an extent, and this is good.
i get really frustrated that it seems like i can't catch a ball if i dive for it, no matter how close i am. i feel they could give me a break with that sometimes. i always feel like i'm so close but so far. argghhh. and then, i've never seen so many "almost homers" snatched away from me by wall-climbing outfielders. i've never seen so many homers taken away from me before! it's incredible! i don't like it. when it's gone, it's gone, leave it alone, please.
otherwise, i'm enjoying this game now that i'm not always winning, and i hope it continues like this. i hate going through an entire all-star season undefeated and with the stats stopping at 255. that's crazy. no more!
