This was the best game ever for the Nintendo Entertainment System. You could play as one various computer teams, or create your own, which was the highlight of the game.You could play a league with 2-6 teams of any combination of computer or human controlled teams. Each game you won awarded you with money, based on your players prestige. The money you won you spent on improving your players various skills.
The gameplay was also great. It had the traditional pitcher/batter matchup which was similar to RBI baseball, and a few others for the NES. You also completely controlled the fielders, there was nothing automatic about this game.
It's amazing that to this day, not one game have I seen that comes close to this in terms of replayability. It seems either games today spend too much time on the gameplay and graphics, but not enough on the extras (stats, team control, etc), but this game had it all. You had complete control of your players, and could improve them by winning, and at the same time the play of the game was the best on the market.
Hands down, this was the best game I ever played for the NES, and if you ever get the chance to experience it I highly recomend it. I spent the entire summer one year of high school in a friends basement doing nothing but playing this game. I experienced no sadder day than when the battery died.
