    I currently have the standard Nintendo baseball game that is ok
    but leaves a lot to be desired in the areas of lead-offs , and
    especially not being able to control your fielders.  I'm quite
    interested in hearing more about the MLB, Bases Loaded etc.
    
    Does anyone know of these particular baseball games and if so a
    review and ranking would of great interest to me.
    
    thanks,

    I have had a chance to try MLB and I would have to rate it as
    dissapointing.  There are several bugs in the programming logic
    (ie: with 2 out and a runner at third, if you get the batter out
    after the runner crosses the plate, the run counts).  Also, the
    game, while having the major league roster for the 87 season, does
    not give you a name for the player, only the number.  Another problem
    is its unrealist results in a game.  I never had time to play more
    than a few innings because the computer and I bashed each others
    pitching to the tune of 20-30 runs apiece in three to four innings
    of play.  
    
    I recommend waiting for one of the other versions of baseball to
    come out.  From what I have seen in ads. they look good.  We will
    just have to wait to see how they play.

    	I have pruchased this game and have to agree the price vs quality
    	is missing.  There are more bugs in the software than was mentioned
    	earlier.  The ball has gotten stuck in the back stop several
    	times when the fielder has made a throwing error and the original
    	batter can score from first.  Also the ball has gotten stuck
    	in the outfield fence and my centerfielder could not retrieve
    	the ball only my leftfielder could.  Also the computer will
    	only throw to the base in front of the lead runner, so a batter
    	can have a bunt double.  The computer's batters can be struck
    	out quite easily on obvious balls.  Also my pitcher seems to
    	get more effective them more tired he is.
    
    	As far a control of the fielders goes it reminds me alot of
    	the Atari 2400 baseball game.

    	P.S.  The Red Sox team does not do well in this game either.
    

    Re .-1:
    
    The Red Sox don't do well? I guess this game does have a touch of
    realism :-) :-) :-).

    I rented MLB this weekend and boy its the pits!  You would think
    that if you swing early you should pull the ball...HA!  Also the
    umps calls leave much to be desired. (like real baseball I guess).
    
    I fouled a pitch out of bounds and the fielder ran to the fence
    and the game froze there!!
    
    When playing the field, I could never throw out a runner on a ball
    hit to third or short.  
    
    All in all...pretty poor...but definately worth the $1.00 rental.

        C'mon people aren't we being a little nice with this game.
        This game stinks big time. The day after I bought this 
        major league disaster I was able to pound the computer
        Yankees 83-4 with the Orioles. The programming bugs in
        this game are far too numerous to mention. A few examples
        are always try to steal bases, the computer will always
        let you go back to the base you came from. If the batter
        flies out you can always go back also.
    
        The best way to keep the computer from hitting the pitches
        into the outfield is to throw inside fast balls. It might
        be able to hit a couple but at least you can keep it from
        scoring 15 runs an inning.
    
        Talking about pitchers getting tired, Roger Clemens had it
        after an inning or so. I have no idea why MLB would want to
        license this, LGN must have spent all the money that was
        supposed to go into programming on paying of Uberroth (sp?).

    	I don't know why you would even want to change pitcher's they
    	get more effective when the throw at about 50-65 mph.
