The game style, UI, animations, and particles are incredible, truly a pleasure to look at!
Gameplay-wise it was a tough ride for me, a non-US person with no prior knowledge about baseball. But even after learning the rules, it was ultra-hard to not only time your inputs right but also to predict the ball's trajectory (in both batting and catching). The game pacing becomes very slow during the match, even compared to the VN intro, but, I guess, that's how baseball should be.
Opponents leave no room for mistakes catching every our ball (with the only exception of the Magical Home Run), I will root for them on the nationals.
