I was initially impressed when I fired the game up and started out in batting practice. I could see the improvements in hit variety. Then I played a game... There is nothing that can save this game as far as the on-field stuff goes. It's a mess. I can't see how anybody who has issues with any of that could soften their position after a while. Because sliders cannot fix the Ritalin-needy CPU hitting or the absolutely atrocious fielding.
