I picked this up during a sale and finally remembered to install it (and buy a controller). While I'll get use out of the controller for other games, the money spent buying this was a waste. First, the game only works if you change your system clock to during the season last year (known issue; apparently they patched the console version, but not the PC one). Once you're in the game, it's readily apparent that it was built for consoles. The interface is highly annoying to navigate and makes me hate whoever "designed" it with a burning passion. As for the gameplay itself, the pitching interface is the worst I've ever experienced. Hitting is fine. Fielding feels unnatural. The announcers are horrible (Steve Phillips? ug). I was hoping after all this time that they'd have the core gameplay down, but they seem to keep adding crappy features, horrible cloud integration, etc. And they wonder why sales aren't very good.
