Yeah, I thought it would be a bit slower on a handheld but this game is
lightning fast in terms of fielding. The thing I love most about the
fielding is that diving does not always equate to a catch when the ball hits
the glove. Sometimes the ball glances off of the glove and it is correctly
scored a hit rather than an error. The baserunning interface is intuitive,
I just haven't mastered it. I love how you can send your guy for a double
or triple right off the bat on a ball to the gap or send your guy to score
from second immediately on a hit. To offset the computer's ridiculous
defense, I would recommend toning down the throwing power and accuracy so
that they don't just gun you after making those great stops.
I don't have any homeruns though with the Nationals and that is kind of
discouraging. I don't want to bump up the power numbers.
