Key Features

Now, with an all-new hitting model, its time to turn the tables and put the fastballs, sliders, and curves back into the field of play and generate offense. Once on base, user-controlled slides and control over authentic new base-running techniques helps put pressure on the opponent and helps put runs on the board.
