There's something that really needs to be said about baseball games and developing decent AI for it. Other sports games? Generally not terrible normally, for Baseball though? It's basically hoping the CPU decides to play nice and pretends that it can't track your pitches with complete all-seeing knowledge and hit them with unparalleled timing.

It really doesn't help either that the outfielders seem to be dumber than a sack of potatoes. Honestly? I feel like actual sacks of potatoes could do a better job of fielding than these guys. No really boys take your time getting to that ball, the CPU is only just now rounding third base after smacking that hit. No worries.

I could be easier on these early sports games on NES, but that's frankly boring and kinda bullshit, so I say it's moderately poopy.
