Exuse me,is it just me or does it look like This game is no fun. If you want a real baseball game, get an all star baseball title.I mean come on, the graphics stink, and its the easiest game ever. Even if you dont like my review because you think Ken Griffey Jr. is cool, Other games have Griffey in them too that actully have good graphics and gameplay.

Don't buy it

I rented this game once and i was amazed that Mr. Griffey put his name behind such a bad game. There are better options in the market. Don't get this one!

This game has to be the WORST baseball game I've ever played. The players look nothing like the real ones, they have a very outdated roster and since you can't trade, except in season mode, so you can't update them. The computer cheats! If it's losing by a point, it will hit a 2 run homer so it can win. Here's another example: If the computer needs a run or needs to get on base it will hit a base hit, and even if its a weak one, your fielders thow very slowly and weakly to you. Stats don't matter in this game, it's the size of that doofy yellow circle that looms in the center of the strikezone. If it's small, the player ..., if it's big, the players good. Want another reason why stats don't matter? I've hit a homerun with John Smoltz and a Grand Slam with David Cone. The graphics ... and your very limited to your gameplay. Don't buy this game, you'll be tired of it in an instant!

Not so hot

Unlike some baseball games that let you trade any player for any player, this game matches up thier skill levels and then either approves or doesn't your trade. The three types of seasons (lond, medium, short), home run derby, and world series are all fun. A great buy.

This game is excellent. It is second in fun factor to Blitz. It has all the options a baseball nut wants and more. A disappointed KC fan? Fret, no more. The draft option allows you to pick players from different teams, so you can create a lineup of Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, and Ken Griffey Jr. A must buy!

Great game, but...

This is a great game but it lacks some of the most recent features. You can play exibition mode, season mode, world series mode and home run derby. You can only trade players in season mode. You cannot create your own, but o well. The graphics are good, but the game is old. It features 1998 rosters so it isn't up to date. Try it out, It is pretty cool.

The ongoing game

This game is one of the greatest games I have ever played. It's great because you never are too good. No matter how much you trade, or how hard you play, you never have 0 losses at the end of the season unless you are a sore looser and turn off the game right fter you win befor the game can save. It's either your bullpen, your pinch hitters, or your starting lineup. If you like baseball, this is the N64 game for you.
The only reson that this game dooesn't get 5 stars, is because sometimes your catches and hits don't always go where they should. Sometimes I don't hit the ball square on the bat, and it's a home run. The very next batter I hit the ball square on the bat, but it doesn't even go half way to the fence. It's the same with the catches. The fielder reaches out his glove to catch the ball, when the ball is about 5 feet away from it, the ball magically disappears into the fielders' glove. I hate it.

The Best

This game is the best baseball game i have ever played. I waited and waited for it to come out, and as soon as it did i played it and loved it! The game has a season where u can pick a team, and play against other teams just like a real season. There is a schedule, trading system, and even a fre-agent option in season. You like to hit homeruns? Well theres even a home-run derby. In the hr derby, you get to pick up to 4 players. The rules are exactly the same as a real hw derby. You can also play 2 player in the hw derby. The stadiums are so realistic. I love the orioles, so i love camdon yards, so when i saw camdon yards in this game, it was EXACTLY the same as in real life. I couldnt believe it. The game even has the way EACH player stands (at the plate) different. It is also fun with codes. For example..if your at the mane screen......tap all 4 c-buttons at the same time...go into exhibtion....and buy the game to find out what happens! The game control is also great. You can even hit the ball in a certain direction, different speed, anything. Its an easy game to learn, unlike some games, and a great game to play. Buy this game if you want to have fun. If you have N64, and your dont have this game, you mine as well throw away your system.

classic!

Ken Griffey Jr. baseball is a classic in my opinion. It's not the greatest but it's still a classic.

Once you start playing the game often you will be very good but if you play another person that understands the game it still would be even no matter how long you've or the other person has played it for really because the controls are so simple. I'm the kind've person that likes simulation games, realistic franchise games, and war strategy games but this game is one of the few games that I have ever been glad to have even though it's not the kind've style of a game I'd like.

This game is totally not realistic but it still has good graphics. the announcers say preety much the same thing usually and sometimes it gets to the point where you want to put tape on the umps mouth but the announcers say the thing that happened when it happened not a year later. The music isnt singing and isnt the best but it'll tide you over I guess?

Getting to the game it has world series mode, season mode, exhibition mode, and home run derby. It shows you all of them on a little ball that moves down every time you move the up button. In homerun derby you can face the computer face a friend or just play by your self. During home run derby they have much different camera views than a normal game. At exhibition if you play the computer and you've already got the hang of the game then when you do exhibition be the worst team, and let your opponent be the best team for it can be challenging and not for you to beat the computer 30-1 every time(literaly) Also put how hard the game is on the hardest it can be and if theirs any other thing you want to change to make the computer be tough than just scroll around looking for something unless of course you want to beat the computer 30-1. Obviously in exhibition you make your line-up and rotation. In the world series well its the world series. But the long anwser out of all of these will be for season which has a limited amount of games you want to play. You can either play during penat mid-season or all 162 games. As I said before that I like sim games and this game isnt like that. There is no sim option. the only option is to play. Sorry I didn't tell you this in the begginging of this but you can do two players nothing more but less. Each average 9 inning game for exhibition world series and season take about 25-35 minutes a game. Also another thing I forgot to tell you was there are errors but not to frequent. Also injuries that can go from 1 day to season ending. I think there's only one more thing that I forgot which is that I obviously own the game and have had it since 98 or 99 or... Well I've had the game for a while. There also are steals where you take up to three steps then zoom off. If you have a ten in speed and got three lead-off steps you will have a almost automatic chance of making it to second but third is really tough for any player but its possible. There's more detailed things but I remembered of yes another thing I hadn't told you yet. Which is that when you press z on a player while your arranging the line-up or rotation it will give you a rating on each player out of ten. Like there's speed, power, hitting for average, fielding,and arm. But for pitching there's pitching speed, control, and stamina. Players faces are fairly accrate but their not that great. Stadiums have all the general things that they have(green monster,color of walls etc.)I'm not sure if I told you this or not but Griffey has a special code to make him hit a home run every at bat if your bat even just tips the ball.(no clue what your supposed to do for the code.)Sorry about how the article is not organized but if you still want to find outside info and find out what I forgot to tell you. When bunt against a computer you are automaticly out at first if your speed rating is below 8. The first baseman makes errors but never drops a ball that's thrown to him(same with all players when a ball is thrown to him)Theres a circle showing where the ball is going to be hit. There's two all-star teams AL and NL. No minor leauge teams and major teams are accurate. All trades with computer are always fair. Their are free agents but they're are all the players that are bad and un wanred by a team. You can only play for one year so no carrer game.
