A great baseball game that doesn't take itself too seriously, and boasts solid customization features. If you want to play a quick game, you don't need to sit through a whole 9-inning game. Set the innings to pretty much whatever. You can also tailor your season with how many games it lasts, how many teams make playoffs, etc. Truly a game that respects your time if need be.

If you're the creative type, there's the option to create your own teams. Design the logo, name, jerseys (both Home and Away jerseys can look completely different if you want), players...it's there. You can't quite free-draw anything, but there's a decent portion of different graphics to make your logos with. Think of it like Forza graphic making. Bringing multiple pieces together to create something unique.

There's also a great difficulty system called "Ego." Set this number up to 100. The higher the number, the harder the game gets. Thanks to this system, you can perfectly tailor your experience. Ego can be changed while you're in the middle of playing a game as well, so don't be afraid to experiment.

My only minor complaint is the game could use more presentation. There's no commentary, and the only speaking you'll hear is when batters are introduced. The only instant replays that occur are after home runs. Unless you win a championship, there's no victory celebrations after a game. Nothing like players stretching before a game. None of these are deal breakers, but I feel they would add to the immersion more.

If you crave baseball on Steam, this is your top choice.
