I’m kinda pissed! Played the Road to the Show option, made it to the majors year 1, winning Rookie of the Year!! In year 2 I’m benched and half of the season has been simulated with me benched?Fun game but when I can’t play it what’s the point in having the game? May return it, spent a lot of time trying to build my career and now the game won’t allow me to continue playing my career?

Delivered on time and it great condition. My grandson was very excited. It was his favorite birthday gift!

Great game. have been playing this series forever and they keep upping their game every time i think. great buy long lasting fun

So happy the game was delivered on a special day. With the world on lock down this really brightened my day. Thank you!

Family plays it all the time

Love the game.

The best computer video game I have ever played. Now I'm in my 60s so that might not mean much, but there are significant elements to this that are absolutely spectacular, even in the graphically-magnificent twenties. I'm talking about the world created by this game and how you can, with the utmost realism, begin your career as a minor league player and work your way up to The Bigs. So all of that is great. It's actually a measure of its greatness that I raise a few disappointments. 1) Hitting. Making good contact with the ball at the major league level can be very frustrating, particularly at the Veteran setting. You really have to get into and stay into a zone to be successful at that level, at least for an ordinary gamer like me. It's like The Bigs, where a hitter can get on a hot streak and then go ice cold. In this game it's almost a state of mind that moves you from the cold zone to the hot zone and vice versa. If you zone in on every pitch like you're going to kill it, you'll be swinging at a lot of lousy pitches. If you sit back to see what's coming, you've given up your time to make good contact with a fastball. The best scenario seems to be getting up in the count and then focus on that one pitch you want to crank and living with the consequences. Oh, and even if you do everything right your shot might be the subject of one of many spectacular defensive plays and it's all for naught. 2) The Change. This is more at the majors level. I think the effectiveness of a few of the pitches is overdone. You need to identify the approximate speed and destination of a pitch. In the blink of eye (or two) that you're given it is very hard to differentiate between a 90 mph fastball that will be a low strike from an 80 mph change up that hits the dirt. There's a little hitch or hump in the slower pitches but processing that with all the other information (is it going outside or catching the corner?) is quite challenging, to say the least. 3) Scoring on the bases. Getting from first or even second with no outs on a bad team is like winning the lottery. In most of my seasons (with poor teams) I score many more times by my own HRs than by other means. There's nothing worse than being on a bad team, getting on first with no outs and having to work through the excruciating steps to get to third, where the last batter strikes out. Also, unless you're great at manipulating everything adeptly, it is easy to do very stupid things once on base, it's better to let the computer run your runner at least until you reach the next base. 4) 2020 vs 2019. My son and I started in the minors on the 2019 game (at the Rookie hitting level, like level 3 of 7) and moved to the majors and Veteran pitching levels on the 2020 game. When I first wrote this review I said that there was nothing I saw in 2020 that beat 2019. Two things I liked about 2019 were that when fielding the ball in the infield the ball is lit up (the grounders in 2020 are often almost impossible to see), and you saw more action down the foul lines in 2019. But I just started a new career in 2019, where I expected to stay, and hit a brick wall at the major league level on Veteran pitching. So I switched my career over to 2020, where I'm somewhat happier. Two positives about 2020 - the good pitchers aren't as plain unhittable as in 2019, and you get credit for hitting a hard ball even if two infielders do a 1 1/2 gainer and a double flip and turn a DP on it. 5) Backdrop. On certain days in certain cities it is very difficult to pick up a pitched ball. I play in Phila. and it is one of the worst parks for that. Maybe there's some realism to that, but I find it hard to believe there are parks where you can't really see the ball on some rare days until it's 30 feet from home plate. 6) Sitting out. You could be playing at an all-star level and have a durability of 80+, but my experience has been your team will still use you as a pinch hitter out once every 3 series or so. KInd of tough when you have a hitting streak going and again not very realistic.That's all I have to say for the moment. I'll probably supplement this review down the line, and you're pressed for time. Such a great effort, but with sometimes painful issues. Like Civ IV Beyond the Sword, which I have also played to death. I should say the broadcasting is just fabulous, although sometimes I tell Dan Plesac to shut up (even when he's right). For the moment I have it turned off, it's particularly annoying when things aren't going well for you. But all in all it has certainly been a good if occasionally maddening shelter pastime.
