It's not just annual sports games. $60 games are bullshit. I can get better versions of the same games on PC for $40-50 day one even if there is no sale. These console exclusives are the exception. I can stomach AAA titles like Street Fighter IV and even go for the Collector's Editions of those. But anything else is being bought on sale basically.
I downloaded the demo of this...damn, it's the nicest looking sports game I've ever seen. The animations are pretty much perfect, and it's somehow got kind of an arcadey feel while retaining realistic motion.
I don't know if I'll buy it though, for the same reasons Gooch gave. Just not sure I have the time & inclination to go through a season.
We broke street date today. KoF, why don't you drive up and grab it?
I haven't played a baseball game since some silly 16 bit stuff. This does look really good.
