World Series Baseball 2K1 Sucks?

WSB2K1 was released in stores this weekend, but some aren’t praising the game at all.  Some gamers don’t like the fact that outfielders can’t be controller.  Others dislike the lack of a homerun derby option, among other modes.  Many just don’t like that WSB2K1 isn’t at all a simulation type game, but instead more arcade-oriented.  Daily Radar gave WSB2K1 a dud rating as well. (Though, we should point out that DR is notorious for bias against Sega.)  So, is the game that bad, or are gamers now being too critical of the Sega Sports series, especially considering how much praise NFL, NBA, and to a lesser extent, NHL 2K received?  You decide–get the game now at your local stores.
