    GUYS!

    he talked about ONE PLAY!

    He could've gotten lucky. You really can't judge the fielding ratings of the players from this review b/c it was biased and the sampling was entirely small.

    We don't know if Mo made 10 straight errors out there and then magically made a diving catch out there on the next play. The reviewer doesn't offer any information outside of the ONE catch Mo makes.

    Now think about it. It's a video game based on ratings. Don't you think there would be a chance that Mo would make a nice catch at centerfield?

    I bet when you buy the game, SOMEONE, at least one person will end up hitting a leadoff homerun when they pop the game in and make the assumption, "oh boy, TP is back..." but it's one sample. You may have just gotten a really good pitch to hit. Doesn't necessarily mean the game is a homerun-a-thon.

    With the history of this gamers.com site, I think it's safe to say that the guy doesn't know what he's talking about and doesn't give games enough of a chance.

    Rent it first if you have questions. Doesn't hurt.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

        [So if that is true does it mean the producer for the game is lying in this quote?
        "Absolutely. This year we have taken the depth of our player ratings and attributes to a whole new level of authenticity and individuality}

        I read this post. Possibly the reviewer put Vaugh in center to play a game to see if the above is true. If Vaugh does show the same defensive abilities as everyone else then it is a valid point. True the review doesn't say much, but remember this is supposedly a new game, not Triple Play. If so, every "new" game comes with lots of disappointments, sort of a "wait until next year" tag.

        Even WSB had a lot of AI problems with it's first release on XBOX last year, so I wouldn't get my hopes way up for this game being the answer.
