Plain and simple everything that 2k9 should of been

I have just played two games and I am loving it, it hard to explain its over the top but not too overdone. This and The Show will keep me busy for the rest of the summer.

I have the PS3 version but I know what you mean, it is billed as arcade but has a sim vibe to it.

I like the game, just one minor thing that is bugging me in season mode, no league leaders, or in game current stats of your players for the season.

Other then that, really like the game, thats my only real issue.

Sorry, I'm sure it's not actually "more sim" than MLB 2K9, just that my first game was a 3-1 loss to the Yankees. While it had crazy catches and what not, the game felt more "real" in score, how they subbed pitchers, etc.

I only played one actual game so far, my other 2-3 hours were with HR Pinball, which I truly can't get enough of. The mode was awesome last time, it's just off the charts this time. Love the different cities to try it out in.

I've come to the conclusion that either:

a) I suck at mashing buttons

OR

b) The CPU cheats

Seriously though, I've had two plays at the plate, one on defense and one on offense. Both times I got absolutely destroyed. I was playing as the Cardinals at the Brewers. Yadier Molina is my catcher, one of the best in the game. I was prompted with the button tapping, and immediately started tapping X (PS3) as fast as I possibly could. There was no struggle, the marker went completely to the side of the runner.

The same happened when I was the runner, even though the catcher hadn't caught the ball yet. This time though, the marker moved at a much fast pace.

I'm sure there are quite a few factors that go into the plays at the plate, but I didn't feel like I had any control over the outcome, which is never good in any video game.

Can anyone that has the game answer a few questions about season mode for me?

1. Are there multiple seasons or is it just one season?
2. Can you do trades in season mode?
3. Are there injuries in season mode?

Thanks in advance.

Can you make games longer than just 5 innings? I thought I heard somewhere that 5 is the default game length, hope you can change this in season mode.

Also, are there any alternate uniforms?

Thanks
