Fantastic! I'm not really a fan of the actual sport but I enjoy some of the videogames (less so the more realistic simulations). This one has the nice arcadey quickness that I like while still providing enough control and player management others might be looking for. The individual difficulty adjusters for each aspect of the game (pitching, batting, etc.) is a great addition that allows you to enjoy the parts you like and breeze through what you don't feel comfortable with.

Some people might be turned off by the character designs but I like them, especially with their reactions when they get struck out. Plus the customization gives you more wackiness.

The only negatives have been repeated in other reviews and is the lack of a practice mode for pitching/batting, other than playing an actual game.

Definitely a must buy if you have even just a slight interest in baseball.
