    If he gave the graphics a low score, the guy is blind as a bat, or is agenda filled (ie not caring too much for baseball).

    There is no way that this is NOT the best looking baseball game every created, and arguably the best looking sports game out there. It can stand toe to toe with most action and RPGs.

        Maybe he just felt in his opinion it gets an 8.
        What score would you give the graphics?
        You know what, I couldn't care less cause its YOUR opinion.
        I'm not a professional reviewer. He is suppose to be. His "opinion" comes with more responsibility being a journalist and all. For him to make that statement ruins any type of credibility for the rest of the review.

        I'm a type of person who reads others when weighing their opinions.....if something is off, it catches my attention. If someone is trying to sell me something important, and I catch him lying about an important feature....then how can I take that sales person serious with anything else he says? Loses credibility, imo.

          Agreed. I believe he's had similiar statements to the one he led the review off with.

          There was a time when I was a baseball fanatic. I've had season tickets to both the Padres and the A's. But over the past few years, my interest in baseball has almost completely died out.
          Not a big baseball fan to begin with as you can see.

            this person shouldn't be given this much authority on a review site, imo.

            I wonder how Sony SD can "advance" the series to his expectations....I mean what are his expectations? This great Baseball Gaming Journalist.

              So Analog is the only thing updated? I guess he really put a lot of time, effort and thought in to his review.

                Never cared for him since he first joined IGN way back when. And he shows his true ignorance.

                I guess that is bliss.

                Good Grief... not cause of this game, but him in general. My goodness.

                    agree completely! their review for Dragon Age 2 was ridiculous as well - and NONE of their writers look like they have ANY magical abilities - how DARE they try to review a game with mages if they've never cast ONE spell. Lame!!

                      Re: IGN Review Thread

                      Watching the review he sounds like it's the best baseball ever made. The only negatives were the commentary and anolog pitching. Other than that I'm not sure why he gave it such a low score.

                      Oh well, moving on.

                      This games awesome!

                        His comment about the stadiums alone is one of the most moronic statements I have ever read. Yeah I went there, ignorant, naive and moronic. They are the most detailed with the crowds, lighting, vendors, crowd diversity, towels, etc. Real MLB jumbotron graphics specific to the teams that used them last year, which has NEVER been done in a baseball game before. Plus the other effects like the the Apple in NY and Bernie Brewer down the slide, fireworks, etc.

                        They do way more than any other sport game. WAY MORE. Just a reaching comment, and I take it personally, cause I busted balls all week at the CE to try and get things to the proper channels for everyone. And those TALENTED as hell artists over there do a phenomenal job.



                        Bingo!
                        I always said, you can't spell ignorant without the IGN

                        Horrible. Not because of the score, but because of his "justifying" reasons... smh

                              Gamespot gave the game the same score. In the good, they said that the analog controls were realistic and challenging. In the bad, they said that the analog controls had a steep learning curve.


                              ???? Isn't that the most condescending statement you ever heard?

                                Yep, both those sites are out of touch with baseball gaming. This is the best Show yet. Best baseball game on the market, yet it manages to score lower than previous iterations.

                                Ah well. I am loving the game!
