Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Admittedly I haven't played a baseball game for quite a few years (since probably Hardball 5?), but having bought Triple Play 2001 for my PC I was very impressed.
It is easy to learn in the Beginners mode and becomes more challenging thereafter. There is a wide variety of options, including single games, a season and of course the home run derby.
The graphics are excellent, with each of the stadiums I have been to in rl being faithfully represented. The marquis players are represented quite well both facially and in their batting styles, and the graphics during gameplay are very smooth. The trading system is quite good, and although I haven't done it myself, I know some of my friends would LOVE the ability to perform a complete league draft.
There are only a few minor criticisms I would level.
* The pitchers tend not to throw many balls, and drawing a walk is quite difficult.
* The starting pitchers get tired too quickly, about 60 pitches and you are more or less done.
* I say about because unfortunately some stats I consider important are missing, especially while playing a game, such as a pitch count for instance. Having the ability to see a standard box score during a game would have been a good idea for me.
* Errors are strangely incorporated. With errors on, I will see 4 or 5 in one game, and then won't see another error for 10 games or so, I would have preferred a little more regular than they are.
But all that aside, I have spent probably several hundred hours playing this game and am yet to tire of it...If you like baseball and baseball games, get it, for me it has proven money well spent!
