Has anyone gotten a chance to play it yet?
I have been playing it for a couple of weeks now (chup chupa kay :D), and it is pretty good. Although there are some things that one cannot stand the sight of (such as a horrible sound that results when ball hits the bat…which sounds like someone is slashing the throat with a butcher knife, and fielders not picking up the ball for ~10 seconds when it is just two feet away from them), overall, the experience is quite lively.
