Good review, except for the pitching controls. Uninspired? Compared to what?

Would've like to see you touch more on the fielding gaffes too. Of all the problems from this game, it is the single most frustrating IMO.

IMO you can't review games based on what sliders may or may not do. Not everybody wants to sit there for hours fiddling with sliders trying to figure out what works - and IMO they shouldn't be expected to.

Besides, sliders should be for tweaking game play. IMO gamers shouldn't be counting on sliders to fix game play.

You should be getting at least decent game play right out of the box.

Good review, Chris. 2k is certainly making strides in the right direction with this game, but still has some work to do.

As someone who creates sliders for the Community, I totally agree with you on this.

LOL, he's never worked for any gaming company. Not sure where you got that or what you are trying to accomplish there (actually I do) but the closest he's come to working for EA was running DSM and being one of the guys here at OS.

Great post and tremendous points well stated. All I can say to YOU 2k is, well....at least the game looks good in screenshots. Well, not that good actually. But hey, there is always next year right? And you still have the license, so there's that -
