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.

Don't Get This Game

Do not get this game! The graphics are really bad. The crowd is paper thin yet the picture on it looks 3-D. Not what I would expect from a Gamecube. The controles are confusing. I don't understand the concept of hitting the ball, you get the little triangle shape on the ball and it moves when you have no chance of hitting it. The main screen print is almost so tiny I can barely read it. The sound is not that bad. Its basically the best thing about the game. Overall, the game royally sucks so don't get it! If you do you'll regret it, I know I sure did. Its the worst (money) I've spent in my life.

not so realistic

Not very realistic at all. If playing against the computer and you are ahead your players start to make errors on routine plays. At times some players won't even make a play on the ball. Even your relief pitchers leave the ball hanging over the plate when you are ahead. Also the commentary just plain stinks, it is very repititious which quickly becomes boreing. I suggest you wait for a different baseball game and rent this one until then.

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.

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

Sad Game, for a good series

The all star baseball series is great. Personally i think this is the worst one. This has horrible camra angles. The game overal i would give a D+. I am waiting for the 2003 game which i hope will be better.

Not A Good Game!!

I bought this game with high expectaions! It totally let me down. I didn't care for the way the batters swung. Too many other things to type.

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.
