Those first 2 features look like they're ripped straight from MVP. Nice to see a Skybox mode ala NHL series.
I haven't played a Sega Baseball game since the Genesis days but if this game comes out for $30, there's a good chance I'll buy it. I think the square base running may be confusing. The MVP has it perfect with the PIP diamond.
Nice to see CS for Xbox. Hopefully it actually works unlike ASB last season.
