Before you buy this game you should know a few things. When I first bought this game I so upset that I almost returned it. YOU CAN NOT FIELD IN THIS BASEBALL GAME! You can pitch, hit, throw, and run, BUT YOU CAN'T FIELD ANY BALL. The computer does all the fielding for you. You can't dive for a ball down the line, you can't run under a deep fly ball, you can't charge the plate on a bunt. The computer does all this for you. Sure the computer can dive and field but they don't always do a good job of it. Once the computer fields the ball you can then THROW ONLY and that's hard to learn without having the game pause. The players are slow and there are a lot of slowdowns. But after a few day I really started to enjoy the game. I'm not in a season and can't stop playing. So if you buy this game give it a chance but you should know what it's all about. Plus the comentary is weak, the fans are awful origional NES style, but the graphics are good and the ball parks are rendered very nicely. Rent then buy is my advise.

Not a home run!

I just played WSB2K1 for the first time and found the graphics awesome. Stadium characteristics are shown in great detail and ball players features including facial features and individual manerisms, such as Mike Musina's bending before each pitch, set this game apart from any I've seen to date.

Having been impressed with the graphics, I was disappointed with the game controls. I started in legend mode, thinking that it would offer the most control, and found it limiting and awkward. I was surprised to find that the computer controlled fielding. Sega definitely has to rework the fielding for WSB2K2.

Graphics? Great. Controls? Confusing as all get-out. Fair warning: You can't control the fielders on your own. You have to wait for one of them to get to (or catch) the ball, then hope that you know how to throw it to one of the bases. That was one of the cool things about the previous versions of World Series baseball that Sega put out for the Genesis. It's a shame that you have to sacrifice game play just so you can see John Rocker's face in detail when he walks someone.

If you like baseball don't buy this game!

I don't care what everyone else says this game is horrible. The graphics are great, I'll give Sega that. Gameplay is disgusting. Let's start off with the auto fielding. You heard that right AUTO FEILDING. Not fun at all. Sound has is ups and downs, unfortunatly mostly downs. This is not a game I would expect from Sega, especially in house. (It was developed by Sega of Japan.) Unless you are a MASSIVE baseball fan I would stay far away from this game.

mostly good

This game is great except for a couple of aspects...you can't field yourself and you can't skip through some animation sequences. They look cool at first but after the first few games it's like "come on, already!". But this game I didn't like at first but now I really like. It grew on me so I still reccommended this game.

Actually, I'm a bit disappointed

I ran out and bought this game because NFL2K was the best sports video game I'd ever seen. I had been waiting months for the game to come out, but after a couple of days of playing it, I'm disappointed. The play-by-play announcing is TOTALLY lame (this was one of my favorite features in NFL2K), you can't control the fielders once the ball is hit and no one ever makes an error. I don't like this because it takes some of the drama out the game when every play is virtually automatic. On the plus side, the action looks really good, the players look very realistic and the batting and pitching controls work well. The game is good, but not as good as I hoped it would be.

Great game ? Whatever!

The graphics are awesome! Almost real. The replays are ok, but are better if the computer does not run them. Game play is the problem. What the game does not tell you is that you CAN NOT control the fielding, and there is no option to let you control it. All fielding is done by the computer. I hate that because the computer is VERY slow to react. It is no fun when you can't make a play. All you can do in the field is press a button to throw a ball. Hitting is like the original games, but it is difficult, even on rookie level. I would recommend renting this game before buying it. I want my money back. Sega sports takes low score on this one.

I think the game looks very cool and fun to play. If I could get it now I would, but I can't but I will get it very soon and always keep on playing the game, untill I have to let it go. I think this game is going to be a great success. THANK YOU for putting it out on the market for us MLB lovers!

coulda been better

The graphics in this game are astonishing. Players look like their real life counterparts and the stadiums are dead on. The only problem is the flat, 2-d crowd. Come on Sega you can do better than that. Now here was the real flaw : Gameplay. The pitching and batting are fine but YOU CANT EVEN CONTROL YOUR OWN FIELDING! Your outfielders botch up plays while the AI's are perfect. it is this and the lack of depth that keep this game from reaching its full potential. ok as a rental but not realy worth shelling out 50 bucks. Hardcore gamers need not apply.

One,Two,Three, World Series Baseball 2K1 has struck out!

This game is horrible! I have been waiting three months for this game and it is the worst baseball game EVEEEEEEEER! The compuer plays your outfield defense, the pitching is hard, and the batting is Very hard! On the plus side is the graphics are great! Sega made this game for graphics, not for game-play. There is no Home Run derby. Sega Sports should have taken more time to make this awful game. I suggest NO ONE BUYS this game! Buy Triple Play 2K1 or ESPN Baseball 2Night! Remember, the graphics will trick you to buy this game. The game-play is HORRIBLE!
