Well deserved score and review. This is one of the greatest sports games ever made, and the best baseball video game I have every played!

You hit the review on the head and 9.5 is just right... The commentary is great and it actually goes with what's going on in the game. The online play I don't use it and I don't care about it but some people would rather have good online play than a deep offline game. NCAA 09?

I can deal with anything in the 9 to 9.5 range because there are some things they need to fix and improve for next year. Definitely the best sports game ever made though.

Matt? Or Dave?

WOW, sorry, but this reeks or some seriosu bias. It is one of the best sports games of this gen, but it is not as a realistic depiction of the sport as NHL 09, it is obvious the reviewer likes baseball more then hockey and this is the basis for the ridiculous comments, no way this is a 9.5, no other reviews come close to this score. It is a very good game, but not 9.5 NHL 09 good. This is a 8.5-8.8 or so game.

It is also obvious the reviewers don't consider online play that big a deal when it is a major concern for many gamers who could give a rats about playing franchise.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about your post.

All things aside, it's on the level of NHL but this captures the essence of the sport more so than NHL. That's the difference.

I've had about 3 smooth online games ever since complaining about online. Unfortunately I've had to hardwire my PS3 to do so, but to act like it's a "travesty" when it does indeed work isn't something to be all up in arms about.

Captures the essence more? LOL, ok, not true at all, but, ok, the AI in NHL 09 is the best ever in any sports game including the show. It's maybe at brest very close to NHL 09, certainly not clearly the best sports game this gen, the reviewer must be on smoke good drugs. There is a reason this reviews score is higher then any other publication, it is a baseball bias going on. NHL 09 online is also miles better, like it or not, online is a HUGE part of any sports game these days.
