ESPN Baseball
I just got this game for xbox. I was playing Inside Pitch 2003 and had gotten used to it. What are peoples thoughts on this title? The players look a little funny but they do in all of the games. I like that you can download updated rosters on Live. I havent figured out pitching but someone told me that i need to have rumble on to be able to tell if i'm aiming for a strike or a ball. so, i'm having a hard time striking out anyone.
I want this to be my new baseball game to play this year (since i got it free). Anyone have any tips on how to play better or anyone out there love/hate this game?

i played this series for the past 2 years & loved it. thought last year's was the best baseball game since rbi on nes, but this year's version is crap. everything that looked great the last 2 years looks pretty lame this year. the players look more like michael myers from halloween than mlb players & the stadiums aren't very crisp looking like in the past. the game play isn't very good either.
i play mvp constantly this year. i think the stadiums basically look like crap in this game 2, but the players look better & gameplay is hands down better. when i 1st got mvp i thought it sucked because the stadiums, fans, etc were all cheaply animated as compared 2 ws/espn baseball from the last couple years. after playing it for a while i have 2 say it's a much better game. espn took a huge step backwards this year. it feels like a rushed product & it came out after mvp.

Swell's opinion is pretty much the popular one from the review sites and user opinion. Frankly, I thought all the baseball offerings were pretty poor this year, so I'm working on Ninja Gaiden instead.

I liked MVP, too. My advice is get ESPN for the console and if you play PC games, get MVP for PC for mods.
