Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
The dumbest AI I've ever seen in a baseball game. It always throws when you attempt a steal, even if that runner is headed toward an occupied base. For example, if you've got runners on 2nd and 3rd you can send the runner on 2nd and the catcher will throw to 3rd. Just then you can send the runner from 3rd to home for an easy free run. Also, if the 3rd baseman fields a ball and a runner is headed from 2nd to 3rd the third baseman will throw the ball to 3rd to get a force at 3rd. Nevermind that no one is there because that's his base! Sheesh. The mechanics aren't a complete mess but hitting is stupid hard due to your swing animation being WAY too long. Fielding and pitching are fine.
Level Design Score: 2

Only exhibition and season modes, although season requires a long password.
