The defense sucks in this game. Throwing to a base (you have to HOLD) the button of choice. If, you don't it does a stupid pump fake. Feels like Madden controls. The other part of defense is that the players move slower than before to get a routine out. More so, the catcher when it's a bunt or a weak hit in front of the catcher and pitcher; both move slower to go after the f'n ball. Another thing that sucks about this game is the pitching rewards: When you get the good placement and perfect release the chances for that pitch to be a ball is more than if, it's not a perfect release. These are just small tweaks that can make the game better. It's still not a terrible game. It's also not a great game either. It's a frustrating game! However, if what I mentioned gets fixed; I would put this game as 4-5 stars. Until then; 2 stars it is.
