I spent way too much time editing the rosters when I should've just played the game, this is one of the biggest problems I had with the game. There were a lot of peoples who's ratings were completely wrong IMO, and I just kept looking for people to fix when I probably would've never noticed it anyway.

I took it too seriously, not sure how to describe it, but I guess I wasn't having any fun at all playing it but I kept forcing myself to play it when I should have set it down for a little while and come back to it later. The reason I loved 07 so much is because I had tons of fun with it, but then I got too obsessed with getting really realistic results and that led to me editing lots of peoples ratings.

I also hated how we couldn't hit a homerun with contact swing.


So basically a lot of it was my own fault, and for every negative in this game there's at least 5 positives IMO.
I have the cpu on a high batting level, so the cpu pretty much slices and dices me at bat right now doing anything they want, which I'm fine with, I like the challange.

The roster stuff definately sucks, I did some for the wii awhile back, but I'm just going to take my time do a few a day for the ps2.

I just feel I'm able to get a good game of baseball, low scoring, high scoring, hit variations, and a nice package in a game under 30 min. I gave up on 2k9, tried all sorts of sliders, and still couldn't get consistent realistic results, added to games that were in the 45+ min range.

Game time isn't a big thing for me, I sit through watching tons of regular baseball games on tv.....just that with the video game side of things,,..it';s a bonus when the game time is shortened, because let's face it, when you get older, gaming time is limited, so if you can squeeze more games in, in your gaming window, thats a bonus. I suppose I'll try MLB09 for ps2 and see how I like the feel of that game, but PowerPros seems lke the best game of baseball for me right now.
