This is a well put together game. The only drawback is that it gets repetitive after a while and will possibly lose its luster after playing a few seasons. It’s a great first effort.

The appeal of portraying a rookie with big-league dreams and the solid stat-generation of the OOTP engine make the experience captivating for a few virtual seasons.

The simplified structure of the game should appeal to sports fans that have had until this time little or no interest in RPGs. The menus are easy enough to navigate; ultimately it's not unlike being able to move around at will the kind of stats you would encounter in a standard Franchise mode.

Really enjoyable game, though not without its flaws. The game is sort of a hybrid of sports and RPG. You start by setting up your "RPG" attributes and your initial skills. Later on, you will set up a weekly workout for your player that allows you to have skill increases in Contact, Power, and Gap Power. A lot of bonuses will come from buying special bats, batting gloves, gloves, and cleats that give you bonuses when they are equipped. They can be purchased from the "Sport Center" or bought online on "Bbay". The main bug I found in the game is when your player retires... when you start a new career in the same league in whatever year you retired... there is automatically an MLB Amateur draft set on that day, meaning for that season there are two drafts. But overall, this is fun.
