    Frustrating/unrealistic games???

    I really like the look and feel of this game, but im beginning to wish i hadnt traded in my hh2004 for it. First off timed hitting is way to easy, and curser hitting is just dont feel natural, and its just no fun. AI baserunning is horrible. I cant count how many times the computer will hit one off the wall for a single. Ive never seen the computer get a triple. And when the ball is hit to the oppisate side of a baserunner, the runner never advances?? Runners rarley try to score from second on a base hit, which usualy leads to the computer having the bases loaded several times a game, and than wont score?? Box scores never seem realistic, the computer will have like 2 runs off 15 hits. Fielders always converge on top of each other when catching fly balls but never collide. Ball is not hit to the 3rd baseman nearly enough, and when it is, the ball usualy gets through because your 3rd baseman is out of the camera view. And injuries are just plain stupid. The play wont even be close to a player and he ends up injured, hell ive had players on the bench injured. Thats just stupid. High Heat is a much more realistic game, even though it does not look near as good. Im shocked this game is getting such rave reviews. The reviewers must not know a baseball from a golfball, because this is an average game at best.

    O and i almost forgot the one thing that practicaly ruins the entire expierence, stealing. Stealing is WAY to easy. Its so easy i just stopped stealing, which really took alot of fun out of the game for me.

        I hear ya, rose! I lost count on how many 11-6 games I've had. The outfielders can't throw anyone out. Even if I boost their arm ratings, the baserunners will just go faster. And try to score less than 3 runs in an inning. Or else the computers revenge factor kicks in.

                    No, you guys are wrong. I just finished a game and wrote down all the stupid things that happened. 1st the computer hit 6 balls into the gap off the wall, only twice did was it a double!! 4 singles off the out field wall..stupid. i went ahead and stole every time i got a single...7 for 7...unrealistic!! AI had had runners at second with two out twice, basehit..both times runners stopped at 3rd..unrealistic!! And i dont think ive ever walked a batter..stupid!! Sliders wont help any of these glaring flaws...u guys must have bought a different version of the game then i did...because mine sucks...lol

                        You bought a game.
                        You write down everything that happens.
                        You come on the board and bash the game.

                        Do you have a job?
                        Do you go to school?
                        Do you have a life?

                            admittedly, there are some issues with the game...the injuries can be a little stupid at times, but most of the injuries i get seem quite realistic

                            with the baserunning, i agree the cpu could stretch out a few more bases now and again, but they go first to third and second to home on me all the time....also, with a quick runner, will often stretch a line single to right or left center into a double

                            stealing is mostly a success, so i just limit it, theyll fix it one of these years (there are more important things) but i have been thrown out a number of times to keep me happy

                            as for the cursor, i thought i would hate it, but it turned out just the opposite, i love it...but its purely a matter of taste, its not a game flaw

                            im the opposite on this one, i see EXACTLY why this game gets rave reviews, and i give it one of my own, simply the best baseball game ive ever played, bar none.......this does NOT mean, however, that all the other games now suck LOL

                            cheers
