The only real significant change in controls comes from the swing mechanic. This manifests in two forms. First, for your player, you can customize your swing style — power or control, swing shape, shot trajectory, and favoured hand. EA Sports has implemented this for real player profiles as well, so virtual PGA champions will swing and hit much like their real-world counterparts.

As far as I can tell there have been no changes to the controls. Pitching remains the highlight here while the basic approach at the plate makes for a casual interface that offers newcomers the chance to step in and excel from the start. Everything handles well with my main complaint being the way baserunning commands tend to queue up, which makes last-second decisions (such as whether or not to try to stretch a double into a triple) into lumbering actions that offer the defense a chance to catch you off base when they really shouldn’t. Also, slide animations don’t always match what you wanted.

This week, there was a new twist on RotoRob’s Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast (heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST): RotoRob was MIA. Well, he wasn’t really missing. He was sitting on his ass watching March Madness, which takes precedence over everything. Sorry. That’s just how he rolls. In his tead, Tim took over the hosting duties and his guest was actor and Fantasy baseball lover Ian Kahn. You may know Ian from such TV series as Suits, As the World Turns and Dawson’s Creek. Check out his entire body of work here.

All I can say for the graphics is that they deliver on the title. This is a very brown game, with tracks that — despite their different layouts — mostly ended up feeling the same when you’re actually racing through them. Outside of that there was nothing that stood out in either a positive or negative way. Everything got the job done, but nothing more.
