 BEST BASEBALL GAME August 5, 2002
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This game makes you feel like your at the actual game. When you play a season it's like going to every major league baseball game every day. If you play a homerun derby it feels like your one of the fans as during a single game or season game. When you buy this think about it before buying this game. When I got this game I thought it would stink but it's better than Triple Play 2001 because the players look more realstic.
 Doesn't have the distance August 5, 2002

I remember my first year in the Triple Play series, watching wide-eyed as the intro showed Reggie Jackson whiffing on a nasty breaking pitch as the commentator reminds us how Uncle Charlie was a wicked, wicked relative. It would make sense, then, that to showcase Bob Costas's talent for setting the stage, yet another montage, possibly including a Joe-D to Derek Jeter or Walter Johnson/Randy Johnson contrast, would kick things off. Instead, there is NO introduction to speak of. Does it make a difference? Pop in Gran Turismo A-spec and see if that isn't a marked improvement. So, I figured that the game itself was enhanced with a sortie of features. While the graphics are decent, they don't seem much better than Sega's baseball offering. It plays like an arcade game, each park putting up Coors Field-like numbers. In a 29 game season, Ichiro was sixth on the Mariners club with 64 homers. Maybe he's the one Ken Caminiti was referring to... Unlike games that have come before, TP doesn't have minor leagues, expansion, easter eggs, or even a franchise mode. As for the season mode, trades can be made right up to the playoffs (thank you, Arizona for sending Schill and the Unit over for Desi Relaford and Mark McLemore), injuries don't exist, and it actually changes play modes from "season" to "playoff" when the regular season ends. As for the playoffs, there is NO payoff. 173 games were played and there was nothing to show for it. In all, this was the most disappointing baseball game to date, seemingly a "rush job" put out simply to have a title on the shelf.
Not too bad June 12, 2002

This game is definitely addicting. The graphics and gameplay are really awesome. The most annoying parts of the game are the music, the fact that home run derby is way too easy, and that the easiest level is too easy and the hardest level is to hard. Playing the pro (middle) level is just about right. I win some games and lose some games. It's a bit hard on the pro level to strike people out, but it can be done. One truly great mode to play is human vs. human. I believe that this is the most realistic part of the game. The batting cursor can be invisible so that you really have to tell what type of pitch (fastball, curveball, etc.) it is before you can swing. It really gives the game a good, true feel to it. As said before, the announcers are sometimes inaccurate with their calls and there needs to be a dynasty-type mode, but overall I would definitely recommend this game.
 unrealistic, arcade action June 11, 2002
If you are considering the purchase of Triple Play from a video/arcade game perspective and have a cursory understanding of baseball, you will probably find it enjoyable . . .However, if you appreciate the nuances and strategy involved in the actual game and you're looking for realistic gameplay and outcomes, then, depsite its misgivings, your only choice is High Heat - as evidenced by the (nearly obsessive) web communities dedicated to the discussion and development of 3DO's product.
 Worse than last year June 8, 2002

There are less replay features. No camera angle choices. Fielding is basically impossible for any tough plays. If you want to play like Ichiro forget it. Trading players and signing free agents isn't challenging like Madden football. They are just "dumb" features that let you get all the best players. If realism and playibility are features you are looking for, skip this game.
