No other baseball game comes close. Here you can choose to practise your fielding, take some BP, or play around with the Home Run Derby. When you're finally ready to take the field, you can choose between playing exhibition games or jumping right into the deep end with career play. Exhibition play is pretty much standard, although there are some standout differences between some settings here and other games. There are difficulty level sliders allowing you to set how hard you want your contests to be.
Games can be from one to nine innings in length.
You can turn on or off important options like injuries, fielding errors, and the designated hitter rule. The comprehensive draft and box score screens. Career play is for the most part very well realized. Virtually every aspect of your league can be played with, from moving or deleting teams through interleague play and the length of the schedule. As in Hardball s past, you can even create your own logo if you want to move your favorite team to your hometown.
