The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
Playing on the same team lets you share pitching and batting duties seamlessly from the couch, though the Wii Remote's motion detection occasionally registers accidental swings that can frustrate coordinated play.
Skills this builds
- Splitting batting and baserunning roles during an offensive inning
- Drafting compatible teammates together to activate Buddy Jump fielding catches
- Facing off in friendly head-to-head exhibition matches
Try this together
Put yourselves on the same roster and have one person handle pitching while the other manages defensive fielding throws.
