Not Sega's Best Work

Pros: Graphics- The best thing on this game is the graphics. All the players look EXACTLY like the real players. Player piching and batting moves are wonderfully done. The stadium shots were also incredible.
Cons: The commitator for this game gets REALY montonious. He says the same thing over and over again. Also, the fielding on the game was horrible. All of it was automatic. It frustrating to see players not catch balls that are hit right at them.

Over all the game was okay.

Okay frustrating at first

This game has some cool features--the batter/pitcher matchup is reasonably good; players are (except when they're sitting on the bench) very realistic-looking. It also doesn't eat an entire memory card like NFL 2K--just a little over half of one.

The bad news, though, is that there are some INCREDIBLY big problems with gameplay. Number one: FIELDING FIELDING FIELDING. The worst are grounders through the "gap" between first and second. The first baseman is apparently unable to move even three feet to his right in order to snag the ball. Ugly.

Number two: baserunning. How many major-leaguers have *you* seen running on an infield popup with less than two out? Play this game at all, and you'll see guys who get paid more than the GNP of some small countries making that very same bonehead move. The player has to physically remind his baserunners to return to base on a pop-fly.

These two very large problems are enough to really take a lot of the enjoyment out of what would otherwise be a very good game.

There are some other problems, too: the little graphic that shows where the ball (tiny white pixel), defensive players (tiny blue pixels) and runners (tiny yellow pixel that is nearly indistinguishable from the ball) is almost completely useless. The fans in the stands look like something out of a Nintendo 64 game. There's no way to skip past the incredibly awful renditions of the national anthem at the beginning of each game. The replays aren't very interesting. The commentary is wooden and nowhere near as well-done as in, say, one of the excellent NFL games. The controls are not always very intuitive or responsive (especially irritating when you're frantically pressing B to get your idiot baserunners to return to base while they blithely jog along, finally realizing that Oh! You want them to DO something!). These are all pretty petty little quibbles, really, and none of them would be enough to really make this a bad game by themselves, but when combined with the fielding and baserunning problems, the annoyances just mount and mount until you want to chuck your controller at the TV.

(Barely) worth the $15 I spent on it used--for the graphics and to tide me over until WSB2K2 comes out in a couple of weeks.

throwing and batting? thats it.

Throwing and batting. that gets pretty boring. thats all you can do. the graphics are awesome. better than a playstation 2. the batting is okay but the throwing stinks. all the players throw is rainbows. since you can't field the ball it gets boring extremely quickly. it takes a while to get used to the hitting. the hitting is difficult to learn. these are the reasons i gave it a two star rating. i do NOT reccomend this game to anyone. i would wait till 2k2 comes out. don't waist your money.

I just want 2 let the guy know who also wrote a review for this that the game does not automatically field the ball for you. I do not have the game but my friend does and I already know that if you go into options or something that you can change it so you can field the ball. The grafics are amazing.

The game is horrible!

I bought this game after waiting for it for months. You cannot field on the game (the computer fields for you) and there is no home run derby (which sega promised). This game lacks in so many different ares. Go buy All Star Baseball 2001 for N64 instead.

Good Game..but room for improvements!

I just got this game yesturday and I must say the graphics are amazing. The roster is even so updated that David Justice is on the Yankees. The main problems are the slow down in graphics if too many people are on base, sometimes causing you to get out. The other main problem is that your base runners run even if your guy hit a pop fly, causing a double play for the comp. NO FIELDING I might add! The comp controls your outfielders but you throw the ball to your choice base. This is a good game for baseball fans. The season mode is fun, but there is no home run derby(boo hoo). If your not sure you will like this game, at least rent it. Thanks for your time.

Poor baseball, to be represented by this game.

This game has good graphics and that's about all. This game doesn't have four player capability, despite the fact that it could have it. This game doesn't have the capability of two players to play on the same team. For Pac Bell Park, it doesn't have the big glove or the big coke bottle in the left field stands. Just not a fun game to play, it's very dissapointing.

This game has great graphics, excellent player models and intense realism. But the hitting interface is incredibly difficult, and nearly impossible to judge pitches. And this game commits the greatest crime of all, the fielders on your team field automoatically and there is no way to change this. It is ridiculous. Even NES baseball games let you field the ball. What were they thinking?

Triple Play for Playstation is MUCH better!

I had to wait all this time for this? I was VERY disappointed with this game! It just isn't fun to play! Sure the graphics are pretty realistic, down to the player's faces, but that's the only strength of the game. The sound effects and announcing are terrible, the crowd in the stands looks very fake, and the game play is the worst. The computer does all of the fielding for you, including running to and catching all ground and fly balls. All that's left for you to do is to throw the ball after the play is done. What fun is there in that? I love making plays on defense, but this game doesn't even give me a shot! The pitching is pretty bad too, requiring you to aim your pitch and select the pitch speed at the same time. It just makes pitching harder then it needs to be. The hitting is ok, but not great.

If you have Playstation too, stick with Triple Play. It is much more fun to play than this is.
