Best BaseBall Game for Xbox

I have Slugfest, but will be parting with it. Mainly due to the women models that are on the game during loading and option screens. I am a youthpastor and I do not need to have these types of images on the screen in front of teen age boys...Anyway, I love baseball and need a replacement. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Nik

I would suggest waiting for the new year's baseball games to come out (All-Star, World Series Baseball 2k3, MVP Baseball, etc.) in March. If you are hard up for one immediately, I say World Series Baseball is the best even though there are some problems with it here and there.

WSB...but it cheats. Which ruins the game after a few seasons. But by that time, WSB2k3 will be out.

Sure I'm serious...I wanted a Baseball game, not a game with scantily clad women all over it. I know, there is no nudity and most of these teenagers have probably seen a lot more/worse. I just do not want to add to it by playing a Baseball video game.

I would wait. Unless you find WSB or ASB for really cheap. Just stay away from Triple Play.

World Series Baseball is like 19.99 now I think at EB. I don't remember if that was new or used, but either way, it is under $25 now and well worth it.

No scantily clad women either.

I would second WSB especially if you have budget constraints. It is very enjoyable but like any baseball game is can get boring. I am sure it will work for you though. Expect to pay $40 or $50 for the new games coming out. They may utilize the xbox hardware better but the game play will probably be similiar.

I also second your cautiusness with games exposing sex. Especially games that you would think would be for general audiances. I never saw slugfest but being a father of young girls it gives off the wrong impression if I am watching something with scenes of half dressed woman.
