    He is 10.. He is doing well with Madden and NBA2K so I am thinking this should be fine. Looks fun

      It's a blast.

      I just finished my first Short Season (16 games) last night with a record of 12-4. I won the division by 2 games. I bumped the difficulty back down to Ego 45 because I lost two really close games in a row that I thought were both bullshit.

      I'm really looking forward to starting the playoffs today.

        Completed 2 seasons and started a 3rd (ego @ 55). It's fun starting with a new team, modifying the team to your liking (I mod all females to male, edit several names to my liking, make all players look more life like). The games are competitive and intense.

          I'd really just like to know who came up with the team "strengths". The Sirloins, Mosse and at least one other team are considered "Power Hitting" teams. They have several big sluggers and I get that. But I've been using the Overdogs and they are described as "Very Fast" but there isn't a player on the whole damn team that seems to have a speed rating better than maybe 60%? In my 16 games I had a total of TWO stolen bases on like ten attempts and I barely got those on slow, offspeed pitches. A team that is described as "Very Fast" should have a pretty easy job swiping bases, just like the teams labeled as "Great Fielders" or "Great Defense" should make very few errors and have really good throwing arms.

            Stealing is tough unless you get an off speed pitch. I think they will tweak this some with the patch they are working on. I think speed teams get their advantage on getting to the balls hit in the gaps.

                I started the playoffs last night. Since I played a Short Season the playoffs are only best of three. I won my division 2-0 and have to play the Herbisaurs in the Championship. I lost the first game 3-1. I'll pick it back up tonight. I obviously have to win two straight to get the trophy.

                Speaking of trophies, I only have a few left to unlock. I kind of lucked out last night getting the one where you have to strike out a batter with bases loaded. In the first game of the Division Series and the top of the first inning the loaded the bases and I struck the batter out for the third out. Ding!

                  I was able to win two in a row against the Herbisaurs, both very close games, to take home the championship.

                  Now I want to start a long season but I'm not sure what team to use. I tried the Moose but I'm not really feeling them.

                    I'm playing at the BeeWolves ( Bee something anyway), balanced team. I play on Ego 40 with them just because that is where I landed.

                    I absolutely love the pitching in this game. Its so easy to do but so difficult to do well. MLB The Show needs this, seriously.

                    I think its great that a game that is presented in suck a silly fashion plays a very good game of baseball.

                    Sure, there are some things that could be improved but really, for what it is, its a good game.

                            awesome. a difficult accomplishment in this game for sure.

                            what makes this game great?
                            all phases of the game are fun (pitching, fielding and hitting) and the fun atmosphere.

                              The funny thing is that Hugs Lovell was easily my worst starting pitcher up to that point. She got pretty much rocked her last two starts.

                              I don't think I've EVER thrown a no-hitter or perfect game in ANY baseball videogame in my entire life and I've been gaming for around 32 years.

                              You'll also notice in the video that I swipe a few bases. I think that so far in my season (10 games, 7-3 record) I have like 15 stolen bases on like 23 attempts now. I couldn't steal a base to save my life before but I'm finally getting the hang of it. It seems to be a must to use one of the speed teams though, like the Overdogs or the Wild Pigs.
