What the heck? You can't bunt! I hit into like 5 double plays during the last game alone. It doesn't matter if you hit the ball in the circle... they will not hit it any harder. There is no power swing. You can't steal. You can't lead off, even. You can't pop up in the infield. You can't see the players' names. You can't create a player. You can't see batting or pitching statistical leaders in your league. There are other things, but these are the main things that are bothering me. I wish I could view my team. Maybe improve my players' abilities? These things really bother me. Yeah. What the heck? You can't bunt! I hit into like 5 double plays during the last game alone.

But honestly this is the only one I keep going back to play every single day. The other three are very fun but I just feel like this one has much more of a true baseball feel to it. It's hard to go back and play a choppy baseball game like those after playing a game as fluid as this one. As a big baseball fan i own every baseball game the app store has to offer.

For pitching you choose the pitch swipe a straight line the straighter the line the more accurate the pitch. Then you need to tilt the device as a red circle will show you where the pitch will end up, tilt to where you want the pitch to go. Hitting is tilting the sweet spot a circle in the strike zone to where you think the pitch will go then pressing the swing button PROS -Actual MLB TEAMS -Mulitple camera angles of the field -Innovate Swing and Pitch Controls -Full 3D graphics -Separate pitching and batting views CONS -No player names would it kill them to use Bob instead of first baseman -No mission mode. After 9 innings and baseball stars I DEMAND THIS -No way to bunt! Unless there is and I havent figured it out -The ball looks like it comes in way too slow. I guess this is beacuse of the controls. -One stadium, and time of day -Lack of ability to move batter in the box If this was Last summer and this was the first baseball game to be released I would be worshiping the game but after the High standards set by Baseball Stars and 9 innings. This game needs some serious, updates to even be considered in the same league as those two games I picked it up and the accelerometer controls are kinda neat for pitching and batting.

Only had a short time to mess around with it, First off I thought the control system was cool, not having the actual names doesn't bother me as much as the lack of stadiums which better be addressed in an update cause when I'm using the Brewers I don't want to play at Wrigley as my home stadium. WTF The frame rate was very good using my 2nd gen. Touch, if your not a baseball fan don't be a hater on this game, it's worth it even with a few shortcomings, also check out 9 innings & Baseball Superstars to settle down your cravings. Definitely happy with purchase. Currently own Baseball Superstars, 9 innings & decided to pick this up last night.
