the best part about retro mode or old school baseball games is the 1 v 1 human play.. not against the AI... the cat and mouse of the pitcher and batter moving side to side and everything else is what's best aginst another human. if this mode isn't online then the developers are missing the point

they need to have this online.. plus it would play better with latency compared to the regular mode online.

seems like an odd decision and a wasted opportunity not to have this mode online.. it could be a popular mode online
This is true. And those games were not online. You played 1v1 on the couch, with a real-life friend, and that's how this mode is setup.

It probably would be fun online, but it was meant to capture the essence of the the old school couch battles, with updated visuals.
