Summary: I have had this game for years. It is my favorite game. The commentators are hilarious. You gotta love it when a player slides right through an infielder as if he were a ghost. You can really tell just how much work was put into this game. It includes A, AA, AAA, and MLB teams all already unlocked, including 2005's All Star teams. TheHeroes and Legends, a compilation of the greatest athletes the game has ever seen (Babe Ruth, Nolan Ryan, Joe DiMaggio to name a few), can be unlocked through winning MVP points.
Most of the animations are accurate. Many players' faces are accurate, most of the batting stances and windups are accurate. Regular and Historical stadiums, such as Sportsman's Park and the Polo Grounds are well animated, and I like how the screen acts like an old camera whenever you play at an Historical Stadium. The purchasable Jerseys, Legends and Heroes and Historic Stadiums are just great.
All of the modes are fun. This game is well worth it. It has provided me NUMEROUS hours of entertainment. The BIGGS does not even compare. This game is simple and fun, with hardly any flaws.
