+ Decent pitch selection / path modifiers, and having a no wind-up variation is neat for keeping hitters off-balance.+ Analog stick makes a huge difference when batting and gives you total control over swing speed and launch angle.
+ Charming voice clips, you can choose 3, 6, or 9 innings, and there's advance base running moves such as squeeze plays.
+ Fun multiplayer mode and the difficulty handicap is a fantastic way to balance skill levels between novice / expert gamers.
- Having to activate teammates after a play and manually throw the ball back to the pitcher is slow and cumbersome.
- Fielding ground balls is janky, as they often seem to travel straight through a player for a cheap base hit.
- Takes too long for fielders to throw the ball and it's infuriating when you can't turn an otherwise easy double-play.
