How Baseball Should Not Be Done

Ah, it is the All-Star break and the Wii has its first baseball game. Let's say it is quite possibly the Tampa Bay Devil Rays of baseball games. Better luck next season.
Instantly you know there are problems when you see the menu screen. There is no season or franchise mode and lack of on line play (again!).
Alrighty. Choose your favorite team and what is the next thing you see, lack of a full team roster.
Ok. Get to the game. The stadium models lack depth and detail. The player models are dull and repetitive. The game is ugly.
Controls are for the most part responsive; though the game has a tendency to throw the ball to the wrong base, which is extremely frustrating. The fielding cam is from an overhead angle for most plays.
The game plays a lot like the Slugfest series. It is a complete arcade style game with no option for a simulation game like MVP Baseball. If you are expecting a true baseball game, this is not that game.
