I agree....the second best thing is the physics and realistic "balancing" of teams......it will be harder to win with the BayStars than any other team because they are the worst team in all of NPB....BUT I STILL LOVE THEM!!!!!
This game never feels repetitive, never gets boring and definitely never has a consistant super AI comeback that makes other games feel cheap and unrealistic....(no bottom of the 9th, 2 out, 13 run rallies here).
Only thing I would like Konami to implement is check swing......and maybe the option to warm up bullpen pitchers before they enter game.....other than that I wouldn't change a thing.
One thing I can't stand from MLB the show is when the opposing team gets a hit to the outfield and you bring the ball back it to first base your defender never goes to cover the bag....he always remains in the initial defensive stance....as Napoleon Dynamite would say......"IDIOT"
But the show is a very good game overall.....not quite as good as PYS....but very good nonetheless.
