This is about best-in-class for modern baseball on PC. It feels great to play, can run on just about anything, and has a pretty good sense of humor (the name Knox Oxensocksen makes me laugh every time).
The mechanics are surprisingly deep for how casual it is, too. The franchise mode has an interesting way of 'casually' handling free agency/development/etc. I wish there was a bit more depth to it, and I wish there were about twice as many traits that characters could have to make them feel a bit more unique, but it's not by any means lacking as it is. Just something to make up for the fact that SMB3 doesn't have real players. Not that I would want them, really. I think they'd just kind of take away from how interesting and wacky everything is in this fantasy world of baseball gods.
It goes on sale a lot, runs on almost anything, and can't really 'age' because it doesn't use real players or statistics. If you want a baseball game on PC, this is the one you want.
Wait, this game doesn't adhere to the saying "speed doesn't go into slumps," so 0/5.
