Well its about that time of the year again. the snow is melting, the birds are chirping and the sound of baseballs being hit by bats can be heard. its spring and that means its time for sega to make up for its lack of intrest in wsb2k1. We can only hope that improvements will be made. lets start with what was wrong with 2k1. first off wear was the defense?? it sure got anoying watching the computer miss play every ball that was hit. another thing, why all the homeruns? i was playing a season on the hardest difficulty setting and i had 5 guys with 60 or more homeruns before the all-star break. its not fun winning every game 35 to 3. and when a homerun was hit, as soon as it went over the fense the ball would go through anything. i mean come on. when i hit a ball off of a wall in real life it bounces off, it doesnt go through it and dissapear. there were good things in the game. the graphics were the best of any baseball game ever. the sound could have used some work. the crowd sucked. and was there any way to bunt for a base hit? the replays were also crappy. all they did was so the batter running to first. any way. sega could really make a huge hit and a n instant classic if they fix all of the problems that 2k1 had. if they let us play D, make the ball bounce off something in the background, cut down on the homeruns, give bunting a chance, and how about a create-a-team? if sega adds all of this along with more codes, animations secrets and other goodies that make gamers say "WOW! did i just see that?" sega could have their biggest hit yet. and lets hope that 2k2 can live up to the 5 stars i gave it.

You know, when i purchased world series 2k1 last summer, i thought i was in for a real treat. Then i played it and, to tell you the truth, it really stunk.I couldnt believe it, fifty dollars sown the freakin drain! The thing wasnt the grapics, it was beautiful, but the gamplay stunk. Now they came out with this years installment, i expect it to be much better, especially since u can go online and challege people,and download the latest rosters. I expect it to blow all the other baseball titles out of the water! This time, i know it will it will be worth my 50 smackers!

One thing in this years game that they have is Visual concepts.Last years game was horrible.I wasted 50 dollars for that......The defense lacked up, the replay values sucked,and every time you hit the ball it's a home run.This years edition promised to have outfield control and a home run derby (something they promised to have in 2k1). Anyway this game comes out on June 1,2001 at funcoland so pick it up that day.Hopefully Visual concepts WILL NOT Lack up on 2k2.

The best game for dreamcast

It is a very fun game that doesn't lose my interest. Last years game was a bummer but now with franchise mode and fantasy draft this game will be the best baseball game out there.

how would any one know?

I don't have any clue if WSB2k2 is any good but from what I know from last years game, its a dud. No fielding? No home-run-derby? Then that's no baseball. A possitive comment: excellent graphics.

World Series Baseball 2k2-

World Series Baseball 2k1 is one of my all-time favorite games for any system or platform. I was only disappointed with a couple of things. The fielder control for example was a huge disappointment to me. It doesn't make you feel that you have any control and sometimes the auto field would miss fly balls or ground balls that if i were controlling the player i would have made. I feel that Sega is going to fix all of the past problems of WSB2K1 and WSB2K2 will be a hit. Sega has promised a Spring Training mode, a home run derby, a franchise mode, a create and train your own player mode, and my favorite part of it all is that Sega is bringing back fielder control. The pitching and batting modes and styles of play will be awesome and the new stadium(s) and updated rosters of the 2001 season are at hand. For all of you out there that hate losing your saved game data(i'm one) you can even save your lineups and anything else on your VMU. Season modes and everything else that went fine with WSB2K1 is all still there and although im only 15 i think that World Series Baseball 2k2 will be Sega's best baseball game ever and it will also be a hit game.

Maybe this is the one!

Last year's WSB 2K1 was a very big disappointment. Not only did the fielding controls [bad], but there was no minor league, and the stats were pretty [messed up]. Bring in your closer in the ninth inning. Your on top 5 to 1, he retires the first two batters then gives up a hit, and strikes out the next batter. 4 batters faced, four run lead = save. I agree with most people about the difficulty of the game. The only way I would lose would be if I simmed a game. I mean, come on. My pitcher was hitting .500 (I purposely had to ground out just so all of my players wouldn't be batting 1.000) with 28 homers by the allstar break. The pitcher I did it with has no power whatsoever. Another thing, whoever researched the pitchers did a horrible job. Jay Witasick (San Diego Padres) has a slider, curve, fastball, and knuckle-curveball. In the game he has a fastball, curve, and change-up. The graphics were good, but take a look at the faces. Aaron Boone is smiling every ... minute. WHen someone strikes out, the catcher throws back to the pitcher and the batter literally freezes. I hated the computer operated defense. I had a no hitter going into the 9th inning which ended when a ball rolled right to my second basemen and literally went through his body. I hope in WSB 2K2 they set up the bullpen a little different. I always loved All Star Baseball 99's approach on the bullpen. You couldn't just bring in a guy, you actually had to give him time to warm up, which makes the game much more realistic, and requires more strategy. I just hope WSB 2K2 is worth 39.99

Hopefully

I wish this game is really good i dont know what happend last year when i paid 50 bucks with my eyes closed because i thought that WSBB2K1 was going to be a masterpiece like the others (NBA2K,NFL2K,NHL2K,VIRTUA TENNIS) i was so mad when i first played it the controls $ucked the gameplay $ucked it had basicly no stats i loved all star baseball 2000 because it had all the stats you ever wanted and you could warm up the pitcher which is one thing i hope WSBB2K2 has another thing i hated was the commentating i dont no why sports game makers cant make the announcer say your name when both of your names are in the game an example is my name is Juan Perez why cant the announcer say that i mean both my names are already in the game like Juan from Juan Gonzalez and Perez from Timo Perez why cant he say know coming up to bat Juan Perez that's all.
