    If you want to play a well-balanced baseball game that mixes stats and simulation with arcade action, this is really your best option.

    You can learn to read pitches, fine-tune the single-player controls to give you more room for error or tighten them up to make each pitch a challenge.

    While the AI is good on the field, it's terrible in the front office. [June 2005, p.57]
