Customer Rating: Summary: STINKS!! AND STINKS SOME MORE!!!! Comment: No season play, no uniforms, HHOORRIIBBBLLE GRAFIX... you can barely do anything @ all. *********WARNING:********* DONT BUY THIS STUPID GAME!!!! EVERYBODY LOOKS THE SAME - A BUNCH OF CLONES!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Easily the worst baseball game I've played Comment: My first indication that this wasn't going to be a great game was the lack of any kind of season mode/trading/etc. I grudgingly accepted that, due to the limitations of a portable cartridge-based game. Maybe it would be a fun pick-up-and-play game. Nope.
The pitcher and batter both move like they're in slow motion. There are maybe 8-10 passed balls/wild pitches per game. Half the time, the AI fielders wait until a ball hits the ground before they start to chase it. The AI runners almost always wait for a ball to hit the ground before they start to run (and the baserunning in general is pretty moronic). Half of the opposing team's outs are ground balls to the pitcher. Fielding is disorienting, and there are no dives/leaps/etc. Curve balls break like 10 feet.
The only positive thing I can say is that the graphics are decent for a handheld. This game isn't really worth purchasing at any price. Customer Rating: Summary: absolute garbage Comment: By FAR the worst baseball video game I've ever played. There's really no excuse. It looks like one of the games from the original NES, except without the enjoyable gameplay.
Don't waste your time or your money. Customer Rating: Summary: ! WARNING ... WARNING ... WARNING ! read fine print Comment: Warning, the game you are thinking about buying is NOT a game. At least is should'nt be. I have never seen such butchering of baseball or video games. I have been playing games for 20 years now and have never seen a peice of junk like this. I have played better on the SNES! Well here is the review...
-PROS-
N/A
-CONS-
* No season mode
* Bad players are good, good players are bad
* Will not remind you of America's favorite pasttime
* Everybody looks the same
* BAD gameplay
* When a pitching change is made, for example, a righty stays a righty even if you bring in a lefty.
* You have to swing way before you can tell what the pitch is
* It has Derek Jeter on the cover
So to sum it all up, DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!
if you do, buy two of them. one to s*it on and one to cover it up with. Customer Rating: Summary: Review from a baseball fan Comment: If you play it a lot, you will get the hang of it and then start having fun. The playoffs are harder than the regular games. The umpires make bad calls sometimes which is frustrating. It might be best for someone who is 9 years or older.
