Sure, it's glitchy as hell at times but it's very competitive, fun, and surprisingly realistic when you set the difficulty on Legend and sweat bullets trying not to give up hits and walks to the smart AI. I was losing 4-1 the entire game against the Red Sox and I had a 6 run 8th inning somehow and ended up winning and I had to make sure not to make any mistakes pitching the latter half of the game. Anything CLOSE to the center of the plate is annihilated.

Unfortunately playing against REAL people only leads to outrageous Home Run Derbys (or fests) no matter where the ball is thrown. I played against a friend last night and won 18-10 or something close to that, and we each had like 9 home runs, a few of them at unrealistic distances (I think I hit the Phillies Club house on a one hop at Citizens Bank with Carlos Delgado...if you know where that is then you know that'd be like a 600 ft HR).

Overall, this is a very enjoyable virtual baseball experience, and although there will be times where you will give up runs because your fielder decides to drop the ball randomly, or overthrow the ball into the third row, you have to realize that it's still better than 2k8, and that you don't feel like spending the money on a PS3 just to buy The Show.
