Disappointing

This game has a nice set-up, and had the potential to be a good baseball sim. Costas' play by play and the little cut scenes before you get up to bat really give you the feel of a baseball game. However once you come up to bat, the game doesn't deliver. I think I had 30 homers the first game that I played, and it got less and less challenging after that. I recommend that you avoid this game unless you like home-run derby's.

good easy playing game

i got Triple Play 2002, cause it looked awsome.

bought it at Best Buy on a gift card, and i love it.

the game is awsome, the music is good, and best of all, it's a very EASY and SIMPLE baseball game.

nothing really special about it. the players faces are AWSOME, and are actually more realistic than the faces of ESPN baseball 2k4 and 2k5. yep, Triple Play 2002 had better more life like face resemblences than the newest baseball games on the market.

the stadiums are all awsome and very accurate, including real up to date stats at Yankee stadium. there are moments that capture a big game moment. home runs and celebrations are awsome.

what i love so much about this game, is that it reminds me of Ken Griffey Jr. baseball, it's so simple and easy to play, not like today's games which are sometimes complicated.

Costas and Harold Reynolds do commentary, and it's awsome, especially when Reynolds sings Take me out to the ball game.

only problems i have, is that it does slow down sometimes. real small glitches where it seems like the game is trying to load between innings. but other than that, good game.

game also includes Barry Bonds and Jose Canseco....;)

overall, good game.

It ain't perfect...but kid, you ain't either!

All these gamers whining about this and that- the game is fine-
the stadiums look terrific... o.k. so the heads are a bit oversized at times, it's kinda funny sometimes.
Anyways, rent the darn game if you wanna find out if you like a game, why you askin' me anyways?

Toss-up between this and All-Star Baseball

I though All-Star baseball was much to difficult on the offensive side, so I traded it in for this game. Unfortunately, this one seems to make it too easy to get a hit. The graphics are good, though the bodies of the players are not always the right size, and it is difficult to get used to the camera movements when somebody gets a hit. The players' faces, though are usually very accurate.
Bob Costas and Harold Reynolds add a nice touch of realism (though Reynolds sometimes sounds like Chris Rock).
I like games where it's difficult, but not impossible to get a hit. Batting is too easy in this game, too hard in Acclaim's All-Star Baseball. My recommendation is to rent the two and decide which one you prefer.

Lets hurry up! The season is starting!

That is exactly what EA did with this game. It was definately hurried. EA left themselves an extremely low baseline to improve upon. I expect a better effort next time. If you love baseball you will still enjoy this game.

It's a fun Baseball Game-

But considering the power of the X BOX and the fact that it's 2002 now, not 1992; I was thinking that EA would make one Helluva Baseball Game for this system...It is fun to play. It is true that the players have anatomicly Incorrect head sizing (Plus Size Egos?), but it is just a video game anyways... so I say yay! I bought it on the EA name- I don't regret it...
but next season I am renting games before I buy 'em.
Peace-

Triple Play 2002 is amazing!!! I'm a HUGE baseball fan, and they only have 2 baseball games, All Star Baseball 2003,which stinks like dog poop. And then there is tp2002!!! Here are some CONS which will help:
Graphics: not so hot. you'd think they'd be better for xbox.
Commentary: Bob Costas back from the dead. every time i hear his voice i think: 2002 Olympics.
Play: Perfect. you'd be mad because yur down 3-0. But if u do a draft you can get one helluva lineup and come back to win.
Feature: Draft. U can get a horrible team like the d-rays, and go to win the world series.BUY THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EA Sports will dissapoint again

From what i hear, this game will be for the non-baseball fan. Do any of you remember TP 99? The game was based on timing and deception not some box in the middle of the screen. I will rent this but i am telling you, i wasted my money last year on this. In real baseball, you can't see where the pitcher is going to throw it. The graphics are the only upside on the game. If anyone knows if EA will make that pitching aid optional, tell me

Fun Baseball Game

...The game looks great and plays great. It fun and a great game to play the season on. The batting and the pitching look like the real players. The faces look great to...

Disappointing to say the least - A Lazy Effort by EA

* Can't customize within the levels of gameplay. This was a feature back in 1995 - gone.
* Instant replay - can't change angles, no slow motion - gone.
* Batter view / camera angles - gone.
* Fielding - Players look like little stick people - zoomed out too much.
* Players look like bobble-head dolls.
* Menu system is horrible and slow.
* Bob Costas and Chris Rock? - Dat wuz a sweeeeeeet play Bob!
* Back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers on Pro level. Hmmmm
* Players don't throw the ball on the run anymore - gone.

EA could have done so much more with the very capable X-Box. Looked like a lazy effort. I've never played anyone else's baseball games (except the old Nintendo Baseball - remember with Babe Ruth and all those guys (that was fun!)), so I can only compare to previous versions of the game. The programmers should take some lessons from their NHL crew. Disappointed.
