I've actually played a lot of this game and, quite often, found it pretty fun in spite of some glitches. The only reason this score is so low, then, is because I found through research that this is a damn near copy-and-paste of Backyard Baseball '09, down to the intro, interface, music, everything. I feel like I can't be super nice when a game is this blatant of an asset flip. It can be pretty fun to play as far as Wii baseball games are concerned, but it's a blatantly lazy product.
Long gone are the days of charm and personality that made Humongous Entertainment such a dominant force in the 90s PC kids game market. This is basically an EA Sports game with worse graphics and less refined gameplay.
