Batting in the SlugFest mode is extremely easy once you get the timing down. If you get a few (it's kind of frustrating, because this number is completely different for every player) consecutive hits with any single player, then he will be on fire. When a player is on fire, he will run a little faster, hit the ball a little better, and throw the ball a lot harder. An on fire outfielder can gun out almost any player at first base. The trickiest part about offense is baserunning. Although the runners will automatically advance on a groundball or obviously uncatchable ball if they are being forced to do so by runners advancing behind them, the definition of "obviously uncatchable" is extremely tight. You really need to pay attention to what the runners are doing because if you don't, someone's getting thrown out by an outfielder.

Beyond the SlugFest option, new this year there is also the MLB Classic mode. This is more of a real baseball style simulation. This mode eliminates the trick pitches, the turbo button, and the ability of players to go on fire. There is also an accuracy meter that shows up while you are pitching. It is very similar to the kicking meters in most football video games. If you click too early on the meter, the pitch will stray high, if you click too late, then the pitch will fall low. Other than that feature, the simulation style game and the arcade style game run pretty much the same.

There is also a homerun derby mode in which you can choose from the top hitters in baseball to compete in a homerun derby. It is done in the same style as the homerun derby over the all-star break in the MLB. You get ten outs, whoever hits the most homeruns wins. Ties are broken by cumulative homerun distance, so whoever hit the ball the furthest on average wins the competition.

The franchise mode is powered by the popular baseball simulation software called Baseball Mogul. In it, you can track league stats, make trades, call people up from the minors and send them down if they aren't performing well. One really cool feature is the News Pages section where you can look up stats, view the standings and view newspaper headlines from around the league. You can also change your team's pitching rotation, batting order and coaching strategies for simulations. With the coaching strategies, you can change how aggressive the manager is with changing pitchers and making other substitutions. You are also able to play your franchise in either SlugFest or Classic style of play.

I encountered a few problems with the game while playing it, however. Firstly, defense in this game is pretty hard to control. The computer selects the wrong player to go and catch the ball way too often on short fly balls, so it can be very hard to catch a duck-snort. Also, when you are playing in a National League ballpark, if you select a pinch hitter for a pitcher (you need to immediately select the pitcher that's going to sub-in the next inning), then pinch run for the aforementioned pinch hitter, you will actually need to make two pitching changes because when you pinch run for the pinch hitter, even though he's no longer the pitcher, the game once again forces you to change pitchers. So be careful and make your substitutions very carefully.
