   Take me out to the ballgame; take me out to the crowd!” That is the
   song that us baseball fans have grown cherish fondly; and it appears
   to be that time of year again. And this year there seems to truly be
   an overabundance of quality baseball titles for this baseball season.
   Visual Concepts, has to beat out their extremely hard-hitting
   competition, and they also must somehow top themselves from last
   season’s stellar outing.
 
   Graphically World Series is nothing short of fantastic; players
   look like their real life counterparts, and the virtual stadiums
   give off the look and feel of the stadiums they were modeled after.
   The amount of detail that is in the player models is absolutely
   stunning. Details are everywhere, from the player’s signature batting
   stances and pitching deliveries, to the different ways the uniforms
   wrinkle when they swing or run. 

   The animation in WSB is also top-notch; the players move gracefully
   around the playing field making spectacular web grabs with eerie realism.
   Slowdown and framerate issues in World Series Baseball 2K3 are virtually
   non-existent, and every play runs at a steady frame-rate. The ambiance
   that World Series Baseball creates is also amazing; the sounds of the
   ballpark truly come to life in this season’s version. Although the 
   commentators are a little lifeless, almost every other aspect of WSB’s
   presentation is remarkable. 

   Gameplay-wise, World Series 2K3 is very solid. Batting can be done in a
   few ways; first there is the traditional, for WSB that is, cursor method.
   With cursor batting, you simply try to put the cursor on the ball and whack
   it. Also in this season’s version of World Series is a timing only batting
   mode, which is just like the name implies, no aiming of a cursor, just
   good old fashion timing of your swing to get your hits. This leaves the last
   batting mode, Power Pro Hitting, which is the most intriguing of the three.
   This mode uses the cursor style batting, but makes you generate your power 
   by holding down a swing button. It feels very clumsy most the time, but
   the Power Pro batting mode is a fresh new idea that might turn into something
   more interesting in the future. 

   In most baseball titles of the present and the past, fielding is just a 
   futile exercise in frustration. However, World Series has taken giant 
   steps in the right direction to make fielding as user friendly as possible.
   The fielding lock system especially, which helps you keep track of the ball
   when you are fielding. 

   Pitching is probably the most disappointing gameplay aspect this season.
   With a cursor you pick your spot and pitch, doing your best to avoid a
   batter’s hot zone. The various pitch types don’t look entirely all that
   different. Sure curveballs curve and sinkers sink, but split fingers don’t
   have that looping feeling to them, and sliders don’t break hard like you would
   expect them to. All in all, the pitching in World Series Baseball 2K3 is very
   easy to do; just not very deep or innovative. 

   The Franchise mode in this season’s version of WSB is put together to appease
   the hardcore fantasy baseball number crunchers and the casual baseball fan
   as well. With drafts, salaries, coaches and managers, and a minor league 
   system, they all help make this year’s World Series Baseball a pretty deep 
   and rewarding franchise. One of the new features in WSB this season was the
   addition of “crowd interest”. What this does is it helps the more successful 
   teams to get higher budgets for the next few years, while making teams that do
   bad year in and year out, have to slim their budgets down. This really gives the
   feel of building a dynasty when you are playing for many, many seasons.
   Also, as you should expect, the players in WSB develop over time and players,
   mostly the older ones, diminish in skills between seasons. Overall,
   the franchise mode is not overly complex, but still manages to come across as
   a game full of depth. While missing some of the nuances that the more “hardcore”
   might be looking for in a baseball sim, like the complete statistical breakdown
   of a minor league prospect, every baseball fan should be able to find something 
   worthwhile in the WSB franchise mode this season. 

   If you are a baseball fan of any kind, you sure must check this one out!

    1 pointless movie is ripped ;-) and the biggest part from the speech is gone,
    because it was very very big, we still tried to keep as much as possible
    speech from the stadium announcer, but from the play by play announcer everything 
    needed to leave the stadium :-P
    P.S. we patched the game with a nice P/N selector ;-)

    Enjoy this nice World Series Baseball 2K3 game :-)
