The homeruns don't look that impressive, and aren't hit 600+ feet in MVP Baseball 2005, but what makes up for juiced up HRs is the extensively deep Dynasty and Owner Modes.

Some say baseball is boring. But all you have to do is watch the Red Sox break their curse one year, then the White Sox the next, to realize it's not. Of course, if you need more persuasion, why not try this game? The new "hitter's eye" function that the game makes a big deal about is really just a gimmick, and not a great one at that. You're better off staying put at "catcher's eye." But the game has a lot of cool stuff going for it too. For one thing, it's just fun. I say that if you can sit through a full game between two Single-A teams (which this game has, along with AA and AAA teams alongside the MLB teams), and come back to play again, you are having fun with the game. Speaking as one who has done that, I can tell that this is just a fun baseball game.

This game is so bad ass!! The first day I got it I played it for about 6 hours straight! The owner mode makes the game more in depth than it already was, and with the mini games ur not limited to the same home run derby and pitcher showdowns. In the owner mode you can save up money by simply not having any "extras," which include concessions, etc. If you keep your ticket prices around $35 the first year and increase it by $5-$10 in the playoffs, you can make a killing for year 2!
