Not true...MVP Baseball was good and so have the latest MLB The Show games. MLB 2k9 on the other hand does suck...only thing good about this year's is that it has Lincecum.
last baseball game i liked was 2K1 for the dreamcast, shit was pretty sick how you held the button till the pitch came to swing the bat (im pretty sure) havent played it in a while but havent liked any others since.
the show is always great. they fixed the hesitant flip to 2nd base allowing the runner 2 b safe when theres 2 outs. i dunno if anybody noticed that in last years but that was a gay feature.
MLB 2008: The Show was a legit baseball game. I would sta up til 5-6am playing this shit vs online players. It's addicting and very realistic. I'm definitely going to cop the 2009 version. You can record voice overs for players.
