Here's what an MVP fan said on Gamefaqs....

I mean, it takes a few games to really get used to, but overall this is an excellent baseball game. This is coming from a HUGE MVP fan, by the way.
The Gameplay is very, very good. The pitching & hitting really take some work to get the hang of, but once you do, they're better than any other game I've played. The swing stick, and payoff pitching especially are 2 great features.
The sound is the best in any baseball game I've heard. If you've ever watched a baseball game on ESPN, or know anything about baseball, you'll respect and enjoy Jon Miller and Joe Morgan in the booth. The stadium sounds are great, and I especially love the personalized playercrowd heckles ("WHITE?(rondell) YOU SURE YOURE NOT HURT?", "CUDD-YE-ER? WHY ISNT IT CUDYER??").
The graphics were a bit disapointing at first, but like the gameplay, they grow on you (and they are the best graphics of any baseball game I've ever played, which they should be). I tryed it out on a standard definition TV, and a hi-def TV, and the Hi-def obviously looked better, but there really isn't much of a big difference. Those with standard def TV's really won't be missing much.
The only problems I have with it is that it's presented in widescreen form (why?), the fielding controls aren't perfect, and there are some problems with the online play. First of all, you can't change ANY of the camera angles (i prefer using Medium over the default, Low Zoom when batting...luckily its not a huge difference). Second, if you want to change your batter interface from Swing Stick to Classic, it changes it for the other player, too. The first game I played online, the other player preferred Classic hitting. So, after every half inning, whoever was up would pause it, and change the batting interface. It got VERY annoying. Third, there are no replays or cutscenes after/before at bats, or in between innings. This makes for REALLY awkward transitions between batters and innings...Not a huge problem though
I haven't tried the Franchise mode, or the Inside Edge system yet, but I've heard great things about both. I look forward to checking both of them out.
So yeah, overall, if you really like baseball, and own a 360, I would highly reccomend this game.
9/10
