(More customer reviews)First off, I love this game for its gameplay alone. No other baseball game compares. But basically it's the exact same game as MLB 2001 which I never expected, since they held off releasing the game until May 15. They made a few (minor) improvements: rosters are up-to-date (they have Ichiro, but Vin Scully does not call him by name) stats are more accurate, HRs are not as frequent, and when you really get a hold of one, they show a different camera angle showing it flying out, ala Triple Play. However, there was absolutely no improvement in the graphics. It still looks like MLB 99/2000/2001. Much could be done there. But, after playing Triple Play, High Heat and All Star Baseball, MLB is still the best overall baseball game. Triple Play has better graphics, High Heat has the best stats and All-Star (for PS2)while not a great playing game, has awesome graphics, but again that's for PS2. The fact that 989 Sport's MLB 2002 is still the best overall baseball game, speaks volumes. But I think it says more about what is lacking in those other games. Let someone combine All-Star Baseball's graphics with MLB's game play; only then will we have what so many baseball fans are waiting for-- a truly great baseball game for the PS2; until then MLB 2002 (though it's for the PSX) is still the best one out there.

MLB 2002 features more than 300 major-league motion-captured animations with 250 personalized moves, ranging from Randy Johnson's nasty three-quarter delivery to El Duque's unmistakable leg kick. Players are closely modeled after their real-life counterparts, and games can be played at stadiums across the country, such as the brand-new PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
Endorsed this time by MLB all-star and outfielder for the Atlanta Braves Andruw Jones, MLB 2002 complements the usual round of roster and stadium updates with new batting and pitching artificial intelligence models that were designed with the expert help of San Diego Padre stars Tony Gwynn and Trevor Hoffman, respectively. In fact, nearly 20 baseball professionals had a hand in shaping the game, from managers consulting on the strategic AI to Hall of Fame Dodger broadcaster Vin Scully providing the play-by-play.
The game's other features include total-control gameplay, which will show players making diving catches and infielders throwing from their knees; eight game modes, from spring training to Home Run Derby; and authentic MLB trophies awarded to your best players, including the Cy Young Award.
