Love this game. Simple and addictive. Choosing any MLB team is nostalgic. Pitching and hitting is easy, the fielding is a challenge at times. When you move a fielder, you move them all. So if your moving the SS, you moving all other fielders that are NOT stationary. You can jump or slide depending on fielder position. Game is accurate to each player performance. The batter animation, will steady his bat before swing, and pitcher will show exhaustion. Base running is easy, the sliding is automatic. There are replys, like for -Homeruns, double plas and sliding catches. There are fireworks display on homeruns. Depending on pitcher and hitter situation, a jazzy chant tune will play, like during a bases loaded situation, etc. There is an announcer who calls: Strike, Safe and Out. Foul and ball are a dun sound. Tie does go to the runner. CPU fielding is not aggressive. You can find patterns in pitching for easy strike outs. At the title menu screen, you can choose options, where you can turn cpu forefit off, music off, cpu easy or hard, and urn flash on (fielding). Sound, color and graphics are decent. At the end of each game, there is a Tengen Sports New- that displays boxscore, password, and a niffy comment.
