    Yes. But considering it's only $48 at Amazon.com, it's definitely worth it:

    (It was actually only $35 two days ago. I bet it drops again).

    EDIT: $41.65 at dealzon right now:

        LOL, thanks!

        Honestly, I'd recommend renting anything first, but if you're a big baseball fan and you're a 360 owner, you can't go wrong with this game.

        The issues this game has have been well noted in these forums, but the game has a wealth of depth to it and is just plain ol' fun. To me, the good far outweighs the bad.

        Until I scratched my disc, I was having a blast with it.
        Enjoy and good luck!

          No, it really isn't worth $60. This is not a biased reply.

            I don't begrudge anyone for not liking this game, or people who don't want to endorse it, but could you at least give some examples or reasons why you wouldn't recommend?
            At least give the OP an educated reason as to why they shouldn't spend their money on it?

              Why should he have to do that when there are already pages and pages and pages of impressions? A short and simple "No, I wouldn't recommend it" is a perfectly acceptable answer given the OP couldn't be bothered to do any research for himself.

                Agreed...I don't understand why people wouldn't recommend this game. For 360 owners this is far and away the best baseball game you can buy. It has it's issues, but a good set of sliders and some patience can allow people to really enjoy the experience. It's an extremely deep game with a lot of immersion potential if your a franchise person. The presentation/commentary is incredible and really adds to the overall experience.

                Granted, there are some wonky animations and glitches which have been well-documented around this site (the squeeze bunt with a runner stealing from 2nd base animation glitch is the most recent one I can think of being posted.)

                But those aren't gonna be gamekillers for most people...if they are for the OP, then don't buy this game. If you can look past some small issues, there's a lot of value to be had in this game.

                  Personally I think that giving a detailed opinion helps to separate the trolls from the folks that want to give constructive answers to the OP.

                    I'd love to combine 2k's franchise and MLB today season modes with The Show's gameplay.
                    ^THIS

                    If 2K played as buttery smooth as The Show combined with the right set of sliders this would be my game of choice. MLB Today is a great concept this Show player is very jealous of. Also like the pitcher\batter confrontations better in this game. The problem is when the ball is put in play. Animations are sometimes herky jerky yet other times they aren't. If they could fix this 2K would have one huge fan in me. Franchise mode is deep.

                        Auto fielding is what kills the game for me, just poorly implemented. I tried all sorts of things, even putting together a number one ranked defensive team. With that number one defensive team, after 40+ games, the team was ranked 27th in defense!

                          Didn't see any problem with auto fielding (60 games now in Franchise).My outfielders (Marlins) do a great auto-job so far.

                            I was getting the "Oh, he throws it away" pretty much every game. I got so fed up I took my 360 to the basement for an early retirement. It didn't matter who my third baseman was, and I tried Beltre and Longoria. As I said, my number one ranked defensive team was 27th after 40+ games.

                            I can only give my experience...

                              The game is really enjoyable post patch. I had not played the game in over a month but now started a new franchise and can't wait to sit down tonight to finish my game that i started during my lunch hour. My Jays leading Red Sox 1-0 in the 5th.

                                David Freese stealing with 2 outs? WHY????

                                Okay, the game is better post-patch. Still have some bizarre defensive issue, but I guess those are not going away.
