Here's the review for MLB 2004 and it's not good. You can find it on the main page here.

Although MLB 2004 is the only PS2 baseball game that feels like it's still on PS1, there's reason to play it over the other, better baseball games this season: Spring Training mode.

Besides that very cool option, MLB 2004 is average in every way. Nothing really stands out, nothing makes it a must-have. At best, it's OK, sprinkled with a bunch of little bugs that need fixing.

In the many games I've played, for instance, there hasn't been one error. Not one error. Maybe that's because the ball will curl toward the fielder's glove. By that, I mean there's some Wiffle Ball-style voodoo on the ball: It will literally change its trajectory to find a fielder's glove. This is ridiculous.

In addition, the players seem overly willing to pull off a jump-spin-throw combo. It's like Tekken meets shortstop. On a bunt in front of the plate, the catcher, equipment and all, might grab the ball, jump up, do a complete 360-degree spin, then hurl the ball to first. Perfectly on line. It's hilarious to watch, but the humor is doused because there's no instant replay--which sucks a big fat egg. Replay would make it easier to get a good laugh. Also, I'd be able to see that just about everyone gets called out at first on a bang-bang play, even if they look safe. That kind of thing gets maddening in a tight game.
Weirdly, the game's still very playable. It's simple and it's not filled with front-end majesty. It's just a baseball game for someone wanting to play a baseball game. I had the kind of feeling playing it that you get while watching an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie: There's no artistic value, but you'll have an all-right time.

If Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Adam Dunn, Sammy Sosa, Jim Thome, and Manny Ramirez didn't hit a homerun every single time I pitched to them, I'd probably like it a bit more. But this game echoes the same phrase in my head that I heard all too often listening to Cubs fans in Chicago's Wrigleyville: Wait till next year.

I just picked up WSB 2K3 and MVP for the Xbox. I can't wait to play them later. I'll post my impressions later in the day.
