The sticky outfielder momentum has been dutifully fixed, and you can feel free to adjust their positions in the field dynamically, from "easy-out" closeness to Barry Bonds deep. In addition, the base screens that haunted the corners of the screen last season have been pleasantly replaced by a more subtle, transparent representation, giving you a full view of the action occurring on all the bases without the distraction.
Manager and Franchise modes offer further depth into the sport with the addition of a detailed economy system. Using the Windows-esque interface you can buy and trade players, as well as hire staff members whose duties you can assign. Managing your team is free and easy, allowing you to watch a quick thumbnail version of games in GM mode, with the option of jumping into the actual game at any point you wish.
