This series has the best batter-pitcher interface, and graphics, but that's about all. The defense and base-running are terrible! It's pretty easy to use a conservative swing and go the other way, but the way the ball reacts after being hit is not good. These guys should team up with High Heat Baseball and make a game together. High Heat has a similar interface for the pitcher and batter, but playing against the computer is no fun. I've been playing baseball games since the original RBI, which is still the best American released baseball game ever. I've owned and played at least 25 different bsaeball games. I own a Japanese game called World Stadium 4, which is by far the best I've played. The graphics are cartoon like, but the gameplay is awesome. If the American makers want to improve their games rather than just adding new rosters, the should check out the World Stadium series which I think evolved from RBI baseball.
Pretty good game, but still kinda sucks.

The best part is that you can "earn" legends such as Babe Ruth, Gehrig, Aaron, Mays, Satchel Paige, Cy Young, etc. Other than that, there isn't anything special. HEY ELECTRONIC ARTS, HOW ABOUT SOME "ALL TIME" TEAMS?
Better Than Playstation 2 Triple Play

I bought Triple Play Baseball for the PS2 and it was so bad that I sold it and bought Triple Play 2001 for PS. It's better in just about every way (except for stadium graphics).
Greatest game ever!

This is one of the best sports games available. It is up to date with all the players, has great graphics, and is really fun. The announcers know everything that happens. You get cool rewards like fast players, strong arm, invisibility , and a lot more. Plus you get to play with all the legendary players like Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and lots more. Overall this game is really good.

EA SPORTS has created a wonderful game here. The wonderful graphics and smooth gamplay truly make it a great buy. From the minute you put the vibrant disc into your Playstation Console you know you are going to be hooked. The game starts out with a cool movie which the graphics will blow your mind. Then after the movie, you will be taken to the Triple Play 2001 main menu. This were you pick what type of game you would like to play. You can play a Single Game, Season, Playoffs, Big League Challenge, or Home Run Legends. Each of them equally fun. You will see when you enter a game mode that the game is pretty tough, but you'll get used to it. You will also find out that there are controls for basically everything you would want to do during a regular baseball game. You can choose between all types of choices, including stadium choices, camera angles and many more. This game is most definitely well worth buying, and I hope you have just as much fun playing it as I do.

Not a good game at all. Please I don't need to smack a home run everytime at bat! Not for a true fan, but if your into the arcade end of sports games, then check it out.
A Disappointing Game

This game has to be one of the worst baseball games on the PlayStation. For one thing the game gets stuck A LOT. As for home runs, it's got an emphasis on those. I like hitting home runs, but not when they're obviously exaggerated. The gameplay is often lame, as a player is halfway toward home, but then he runs back to third, on both teams that happens sometimes! I do not recommend this game very much.
Pretty good game

EA has always made great sports games. Lately it seems as if they are coasting on their previous successes. For one thing this game is prone to freezing when the computer makes a dumb error. Like a pickoff that flies off into the outfield. The ball gets lost and you have to reset the whole console. Not fun if you are playing in season mode and are in the 9th inning. The graphics are great until you see Dreamcast's version which makes triple play baseball look like puke on your TV set. The crowd is always annoying, they jeer even whether you're 20 points ahead or behind. As usual the announcers are annoying and don't really call the game (when are we going to have smart announcers?!) Also there is a lot of saving going on here. And I mean a lot. You need 7 blocks in memory just for the season. When you make it into the playoffs you need another 7 blocks. There are some winning points, the homerun derby is fun, especially using players like Ruth, Eddie Murray, and Reggie Jackson. And in extreme mode you not only have to hit home runs but hit targets as well. The opening sequence is great. And the prevailing song is the Magic Carpet Ride RMX... (they probably drained all their production costs into the soundtrack).
The BEST baseball game yet.
