PRO: The best "ultimate team" mode in any sports game PERIOD. You can get tons of cards for free, all of them useable and plenty of the cards can be "end-game" for your team.
CON: They made Road to the Show (single-player career mode where you create-a-ballplayer and take him to the Big Leagues) almost unplayable by doing a bogus integration with online. I played MLB20 all year last year, only career mode. This year, because it was unplayable, I hopped into Ultimate Team and love it!
(Note: I think it was intentional to ruin the single player experience and force players to go into the Ultimate Team mode. Fortunately, playing ultimate team offline and no-money-spent is entirely viable!)
Besides everything said above this a sports game. It's not gonna do anything you don't expect out of it. I don't really know what I would need out of a sports game to rate it five stars, but to be quite honest, this is head-and-shoulders above the other sports games.
