All-Star Baseball 2003
Overall: This is the best All-Star Baseball yet! Have have owned and played all the ones before and have gone 162-0 in season play and with the new 2003 version I find it much more competitive. I'm playing an expansion team which makes it fun and the XBox having teams trade and reject trades is a great option. I use to be able to over ride the trade rejection and now they actually have to be fair. I like the end of season options. I like that you have a budget and that is all you have, makes it more competitive I feel.
Gameplay: I think the game play is good. I like the buttons representing each base and the field in good too. It took awhile for me to figure out how certain pitches would react to the location on the screen, but the pitching is much more realistic than any all-star baseball before.
Graphics: Really like the real look of the players. I think the crowd on the close ups is good too. The umpire on a strike out is very realistic for a minor league umpire, he still shows excitment about the strikeout. The high fives or bashing elbows after a homerun and the close up of the replays. Great, but it could be a little better (not much).
Audio: I like the sounds that occur. The announcers are great and I like there .25 cents they through in once in awhile. I'm currently still in season 1, so I don't know what will happen when the season is over.
Suggestions: Keep up the good work and it improves every year. Maybe make September call-up able to stay on major league roster. Make more room for minor league players, but it is a great game.
Overall Score: 9.0 / 10
