    Looks like MS Inside Pitch will be a 'wait till next year' game.

    I read the new hands on impressions over at IGN and it does not sound too promising. Some key factors were:
    1. This probably will not tbe the prettiest Xbox baseball game
    2. the author can't tell if the gameplay leans toward Sim or Arcade.
    3. Big Hands, cartoony look - players only, not the stadiums.
    4. It has the High Heat pitcher interface, which is good, unless theis game will lean more toward arcade then it could be a HR fest.
    5. No mention of Franchise.
    6. It does have Live though!!

    I can't expect too much since it's a first year effort, next year this game should compete.

    Later.

    Or it could also be a "wait until you rent and try the game, because one persons opinion is simply that" game.

    The online play is enough for most of the staff here to buy it that has XBL.

        Even games with poor AI are pretty good if you are playing against another person because you override the mistakes that the CPU would make.

            True, If your looking for a game just for online baseball then this is your only choice. I'm just saying it seems that if you want a game with a deep single player franchise that will not bore you to death after 2 months this may not be a good choice.

                Well you can get this one for XBL purposes, and there are what 6 other games that have franchise modes. Now I wouldn't recommend Inside Pitch to anyone who could only afford to buy one game!

                    It does have some pros---in my opinion best announcer Joe Buck
                    online play, rip own music,best stadiums,grass and turf textures--appears to have fever graphics--colours of uniforms and sun effects, shadows etc
                    D5.1, player training feature,updated rosters

                    Unknown--gameplay--hopefully they will make it more sim and realistic physics--running and ball speeds
                    -not HR happy game or "bugs"

                    Cons
                    no franchise
                    player models need work
                    -gameplay too aradey???


                    If they get the gameplay good and implement fatigue/injury system like ID this game will be good even without franchise mode. However, if gameplay is like fever and not more like ID it may become a 29.99 game fast.
