> In Real Baseball, baseball enthusiasts and gamers compete in 3D virtual
> stadiums. With stunning graphics and surround-sound audio reactions
> from the crowd, participants control customized characters for each
> position and compete together against other Real Baseball gamers.
> Players use an avatar to bat, pitch, field, run, steal and perform any
> baseball action. Participants can practice, play pick-up games, join
> or found their own teams, compete against rival teams, play in
> specialized tournaments, and win league championships in post-season
> play. Gamers create their own characters and build their skill level
> (player stats) through successful play on the field against other real
> human players. Unlike current video games that aim to simulate
> professional sports, Real Baseball delivers a first-person perspective
> of a character, created and developed by the player, interacting
> online in real-time with teammates and opponents.
