 - a little more then baseballthis game will get you excited! at first, I did not like it one bit! if you get frustrated real easy maybe this game is not for you.it really does not follow the real rules of baceball "like blitz" but once you get used to the game it's FUN! when you win a pennent, you get a new team! also, you get a new player! if you like baseball "and if you don't" it's for you. :) Rating: - A must for anyone who likes baseballI absolutely love this game and I'm completely addicted. It takes awhile to get good at it though, I must have played 6 or 7 games before winning one and then lost a bunch more. But with time I learned all mechanics of fielding (which is the most difficult skill) and pitching (which, like in real baseball, will slowly become an artform). My only complaints are that it doesn't keep a running stat sheet on the players for the particular team you choose to win with, it simply gives you the same statsbefore each game. Also the pitchers tire quickly (I don't think I've gone longer than 6 innings with one) but if you learn to not throw the same pitch over and over they will last a little longer. Overall I don't know how it compares to other video baseball games but I think they did a great job in making realistic. If you are a baseball fan and know how to play the game from watching it on tv or playing it for real, all you need to do is apply those same rules to this game and you will do well. For example, if you don't know the pitcher too well, always take the first strike. Rating: - Nice for slow daysI expected this game to be much like the early NES 16-bit offerings. In many ways it is. With a slow base runner you can expect to be thrown out at first even with a hit as deep as the warning track. The pitching is interesting. In the begining you can easily pitch the corners and get outs. In the middle, when the pitcher loses some pitching speed, you get might get dinged for a few runs. As your pitcher completely runs out of gas, you can strike batters out again by nibbling the corners. This type of gameplay should be expected for this level of a game though. The major gripe is with the mechanics of throwing base runners out. The control pad is just not responsive enough. Overall, it's a fun game if you're a baseball fan. The hidden teams are also a cool touch. Rating: - Fun but not quite the original arcade gameThis game is fun for a baseball fix, but expect to get very frustrated with the pitching. The pitchers get exausted way to easily. You can learn to hit after a game or two, however fielding effectivly takes a little more time.
