I bought this game along with my gamecube and I love it! I am a big baseball fan, and this game is the most realistic one I have ever seen! Player batting stances are amazingly accurate, and the pitching motions are perfect accurate too! Plus, what I found cool was that certain pitchers' best pitches are accurate too. Kaz has the nasty splitter, Darryl Kile has a great curve, and Pedro has everything working for him! I strongly recommend this game to everyone!

Best Baseball Game On Any System!!!!!

Reading many different previews about this game, I was a little curious to see how this game would turn out on the Cube. After playing ASB on PS2, I was totally dissapointed and felt let down on how a game could look so good, yet play so awful! Well, fear not my fellow game cubers. Baseball has arrived to the next generation of video gaming. This game not only looks great, but Acclaim has fixed MOST of the bugs that caused the PS2 version to be dissapointing. The reason I'm not giving this game a perfect 5, is because it has it's own little things that stand out from being perfect. Ex: Fielders will blend into the ballpark walls to catch a fly ball, pitchers do not have to be warmed up, and outfielders seem a bit too fast. They have fixed the pitchers speed to be more realistic, and the broken bat feature is a must to see. So lets all rejoice and welcome back ASB back to Nintendo and the gamecube!

This don't get it done....

After the very first all star on the 64 I would look forward to the upcoming all star baseball games...Needless to say the ORIGINAL all star '99 is still the best in my opinion. If you have played that game then you know what I'm saying here. The playability was great as was the create a player. Each remake gets a little worse and unbelievably this ones THE WORST.Bummer.....I see that all star '03 is already coming out!! They must know that this game falls short.

Leave this game on the shelf

Very disappointing game. Batter control is overly complicated and running the bases is hard to control. Even the graphics are below expectations. Skip this one.

good graphics, but....

I'll start off by saying that the graphics are really good for this game. But, there are major flaws. First, the hitting is darn near impossible. I'm in the middle of the season and I'm second to last in the ML in hitting. It's really hard to time the ball and predict where the ball is going to end up. But, the flip side is that the pitching is good. I'm leading the ML in that. It's not hard to get strikeouts and the strike zone for the most part is fair and you will get the pitch called if it even hits the corner of the plate. Autofielding is not bad expcept that when a ball is hit against the wall, the other outfielders end up fielding the ball instead of the outfielder where the ball was orginally hit and the runner will end up on third. I would have given it more stars, but the lack of hitting is really flawed and terrible in this game.

Good play . . . bad errors

This game has wonderful graphics right down to the mascot. However, glitches in the game make it hard to really enjoy the game. Such as players running through walls to catch foul balls. Batting and pitching are pretty simple. If you can get past the glitches this game is fun and entertaining. Trust me this game does not play on didactic platitudes.

This Game Is sooo Bad!!

THIS IS A HORRIBLE GAME. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE MY DISGUST FOR THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE. THE QUESTION IS NOT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GAME IT IS WHAT IS WRITE WITH THIS GAME. THE ANSWER, NOT MUCH. NOT MUCH AT ALL. THE BATTERS BATTING STANCES ARE PRETTY ACCURATE BUT THAT IS ABOUT ALL. ALL-STAR BASEBALL 2002 IS A TRAIN WRECK!!! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON SOMETHING YOU WILL ENJOY. YOU DO NOT NEED THE STRESS AND FRUSTRATION THIS GAME CAUSES. ANYONE GIVING THIS GAME A GOOD REVIEW EITHER HASN'T PLAYED IT MUCH OR HAS NEVER PLAYED TRIPLE PLAY BY EA SPORTS. AND THAT IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. WAIT FOR TRIPLE PLAY.

This game is like the Cubs, "Wait till next year".

Next year is all we can hope for, because All-Star baseball 2002 is an absolutly [bad] showing from Acclaim. The 2001 version for the N64 was much better. If I was Acclaim I would have used the: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" slogan, but they tried to make a good thing better and destroyed it. The biggest problem of this game is the ammount of time it takes to play a game. Do you have an hour to an hour and a half to kill? Then play this game. My suggestion: Wait for All-Star Baseball 2003.

First off, the more you play it the more this game [isn't good]. The Rookie mode is way too easy, and the Veteran mode makes outfielding (because of the camera angles) impossible. And every game from there on just gets tedious.

The graphics are fairly crisp, and some games are exciting and fun, but for the most part: THIS...GAME...[isn't good].

Looking very forward to their upgrade to 2003, which should be out soon.

Disappointments: AI, camera angles (which player has no control over), limited creativity, shallow commentary (which there is not much variety to), player models and faces (all the same), fielding control, no "player of the game"

Pleasant Surprises: animation, stadiums, batting control, Box Scores, Cooperstown teams, deep stats

Decent game, certainly better than Dreamcast

I think the game is pretty good. I agree that the pitching and hitting timing is solid. The major flaw which make the game very boring and not fun to play: the color commentary stinks. A ball hit just behind home plate is not "HIT DEEP TO CENTER!!!!" It gets very old very fast.
