Best of the (sand) lot
Revised 4-24-2009

After playing all the baseball games on the DS (except for wiffle ball) I have found this to be the best of the lot as a matter of fact one of my fav's of all time.

While the graphics are slightly better then minimal, the gameplay is what really shines here. The gameplay is tough (currently on normal mode), however if you really focus on a game you should be able to win most games, but if you take a mental brake during the game you will get carved up by the ai. You will really need to work every batter

The sound is ok, but the announcer can get on your nerves, so you might want to turn off that feature.

While it is lacking the season mode and stats can only be viewed when a player comes up to bat, I can live with that as I am just happy that the overall experience is excellent.

Closing comment, alot of people have past this one over because of the season mode was not included. I really think you need to look past it and purchase this product to help ensure that the franchise continues and short comings are addressed in future editions, this is the best the DS has out right now for baseball, as a matter of fact this is one of the most enjoyable baseball sims I have played to date, and I go back to the beginning of video games...

Great gameplay, no season mode
The gameplay is really good. You can pick up the controls quickly and catch on to the gameplay quick, too. Every game is fun to play because of how good the gamplay is.

The main problem I had with the game is the lack of a season mode. There is also no create a player mode. The playoff setup isnt bad, but you have to pick all the teams.

Good but not great
Wish it had a season mode.
Some of the controls a little confusing.
Only has 4 stadiums which is really lame.
Graphics not that hot.
