(More customer reviews)Triple Play Baseball has been my favorite since the first one. I've always thought that it was the closest thing to playing baseball inside. In this version for the PS2 I've noticed a few changes
1. Graphics. Pro: Unbeleivable detail with stadiums, you can almost see individual blades of grass. The crowds actually move in this version.The facial features of the players are much improved. And the Gameplay is extremely smooth. Con: Other than the faces, I cannot tell the difference between players like I could in previous versions. You cannot change the batting camera angle, there is just one camera for instant replays, and one camera angle for feilding.
2: Big League Challenge. It's about the same as in TP2001, with the exception of that they took away the Derby with the crazy stadiums and targets. You can no longer hit homeruns in your bedroom. That was a feature I really enjoyed.
3: Rewards and points. I'm actually happy that they removed the points and rewards, I thought they took away from the game. On the PS2, there is nothing to be unlocked anywhere.
4: Injuries and Fatigue. Once again there are no injuries, and now there is kind of no fatigue. What that means is, your starting pitcher will lose speed and accuracy when he tires, but there is no way to warm up another pitcher, all the bullpen pitchers are already warmed up.
5: Batting and Pitching. It's almost a completely new system, but once you get used to it, it's pretty cool. Although I miss having a normal button and a power button for batting and throwing, everything is now done by the pressure sensative X button (pitching power, batting, and throwing power). I still find myself trying to hit the square button to hit a homerun and watching the pitch sail past me.
6: Baserunning. Baserunning is automatic, there is no option to change that. Let's say I hit a line drive to LF and I feel I can pull a double out of it, I can press the up direction and my players will head to second, if I let up on the controller, the computer takes over again and sends my player back to first, kind of annoying.
7. Fielding If you want any control at all over your fielders, you must not be in rookie mode.
These things definately make me think that this game was a tad bit rushed. It seems they spent a lot of time with the batting, pitching, and graphics that they didn't have time to fix the little things, so they left them out. It is an awesome game, but for the first time in a long time, I'll be looking forward to next year's offering and maybe even pick up a different baseball game until then.
