The best baseball game i've ever played!!! |
| Eduardo Novoa from Monterrey, Mexico says (14/Jan/2002): |
Well, MLB 2002 is a big game i think it's cool because all of the team players are included, you can create your own and make a big team, and feels funny because I created players under the names of my family's people and i imagine them playing on a major league game! other stuff is that the homers are easy to hit, and sometimes you don't get accreditted with that, i mean that the game sometimes doesn't put the 0 for 1, for example, when the last time you hitted a homer, and sometimes you hit a homer and when you appear again, in the next batting chance, the commenter says that the player flyed out in the last at bat. othe aspect in the pitching is that if you pitch a fast ball in the middle low, the hitter always strikes it, and when you make a pitch and it's strike the commenters says: "in there, first strike" and the game gets realized of the error and commenter says "no balls two strikes". there are some much details of the commenters, and the game should carry a system wich you can make the recording of the name of a player created by the user, having the different letters of the ABC, recorded each by the commenter, i mean if you want to record the name john smith, in the game's software choose the sound of j, o, h, n, and arrange it to say john. this idea is silly and the game may use more space in the cd than the entire game, but it coud be cool. well, the 989sports team, should make a mlb 2003 or a mlb 2002 refreshed, cause paul o'neill is retired, chuck knoblauch is playing now with the royals and tino martinez is now on the mark mcgwire's place. scott brosius is retired, too, so it needs more realism. this things can be arranged on lineups and the exchange of players, but it's a long process. Oh! i almost forgotten this: in an exhibition game you can choose the yankees vs yankees for example, you control one team and the other is cpu controlled. nice doen't it?

Since when is a homerun not a hit? |
| Jason Eakins from Michigan, USA says (7/Mar/2003): |
Ok. So the game is easy. Probably too easy, but that is alright for people who would like to play the game right away. The worst part though is that the stat work is terrible. How are you to keep track of homeruns, hits, Average or any of that when homeruns aren't hits? The creators of this game must have never seen a baseball game ever. Takes all of the fun out of the game. The people at 989 should be shot.

what the heck? |
| big game reviewer. from pheonix arizona usa says (15/Jun/2003): |
ok, so i don't like sports games that much, but still this game suks! the graphics or average if that, and i can't stand how the announcers get way behind .... i mean i strike some one out and have a 1,2 count on the next batter and they're still talking about how the other guy was so close and, i say 4 stars at the most mabye 5.

The game is ok, it is basically the same as 99-01 but the only differences are the updated rosters and the different homeruns scenes. |
| nick from pgh, pa says (17/May/2001): |
The game is ok, it is basically the same as 99-01 but the only differences are the updated rosters and the different homeruns scenes. I feel that more has to go into the graphics and also the little things matter such as maybe an occasional charge of the mound or brawl, and if your gonna have the L2 special options there needs to be a lot more throwing moves, and also maybe a groundball error ive yet to see one.

'02 comes with late suprise |
| JR from Chicago, USA says (29/May/2001): |
Baseball fans, be sure to buy MLb 2002. Though it is practically the same as 2001, the graphics definitly improved. The great voice of Ben Cambell and Vin Scully put the user in the game, Nice features like the crowds various chants like "taking care of buisness", the artificaial intelligence, new rosters and fields such as PNC Park and Miller Park. The whole setup of fly balls improve because now the wind kicks in, fly balls move around in the outfield. The fallback of this game is there are not many different things in MLB 2002 than the previous games. Though MLB 2002 comes out later than the other baseball games, the pin-piont graphics and player modes (like franchise mode) makes this game #1 yet again. Also, MLB 2002 creators can't put brawls because it would be bad for Major League Baseball. Doing that will put 989 Sports's MLB liscence in jepordy. If you want more out if MLB series, wait for MLB 2003. I'm sure that will take a huge effect on MLB games. - JR

not as good as I expected it to be |
| sports game watcher from Crossvile, TN says (26/Jun/2001): |
THe graphics are as good as any baseball game on the market. There are plenty of game modes, but there is no mode in which you can start with a team and build through MULTIPLE SEASONS I have seen this in 989's football games and was very happy with it that's my favorite way to play.Also although you are able to create an all-star team you can't create a team and play through a season with it. Furthermore even though you can start with a low attribute team in franchise mode and build your way up you only better your team by releasing players and getting new ones there is no way to make a player better like you could in Triple Play by buying attributes. The gameplay is good for one or two games but there needs to be something to spice things up whether it be more errors charging the mound or anything else that would change the pace of the game. The home run scene isn't what everyone has it cracked up to be there are only two scenes if you're home team taking care of buisness plays but if your the visiting team the croud boos you so that becomes very boring. Create a player mode was OK but I think it should be further broken down mean instead of there being a place to add attributes for batting average there could be slots for hand eye cordination, bat speed, ball placement, ect. THe lifespan isn't great because once you realize nothing new is going to happen you get sick of playing. Last but not least 989 should have added more things for the announcers to say. You hear the same old lines being used over and over even in one game.

It is good, but there is still a lot to be improved upon. |
| jabo from Clinton says (3/Jun/2001): |
I think there is still a lot to be improved upon in this game, but don't get me wrong I still like it better than any other baseball game. I think there should be new features like dynasty mode where you need to deal with contract signings and you should have a set amount of money you can spend as well as little perks you can offer. I also think that there should be brawls occationally and as the season goes on I think players should gain and lose ability points and value as they go through hot and cold streaks.

Mlb 2002's remake |
| A gamer from SC,USA says (7/Jun/2001): |
the game is the same as all the others. they dont even put the tag on the guy. you have to be standing up on the base or they call you out. The only difference is the rosters. they need to spend more time on it. make the graphics and plays better.
|
The game is actually pretty fun except no errors. |
| Cory from Evansville says (8/Jun/2001): |
The game has the same graphics as 99-01 but the rosters are updated. The only big problem is that there are no errors hardiy at all. It is also very hard to pick someone off. I think on 2003
you should be able to charge the mound or do something to spice up gameplay.
|
I like it |
| Jay from Corona, CA, USA says (10/Jun/2001): |
I like this game. I switched from Triple Play Baseball this year because I didn't like this years release, so I haven't played this title in a while. I do agree that there should be a few more errors and an occasional mound charging. I haven't seen one in a video game since the original Bases Loaded for NES. Overall I like this game and think will stay with this title.

What a great game! |
| A gamer from Essex, England says (14/Jun/2001): |
I found this game great. It is enjoyable. The graphics are good. The sound effects were realistic just like most of the things in the game. It had a long lifespan. It is the best baseball game I have played. The only downfalls are that it is too hard to pick some one off and there should be more errors. They could get a bullpen?
|
Not too bad....... |
| Eric from Hillsboro says (18/Jun/2001): |
I was a huge Triple Play fan and I decided to give this a shot. I cant say that I like it better but overall its a good game. I have went through 67 games so far into my season and only 3 errors have been comitted. Need to work on that, make it real, have more views of the homeruns, make the announcers sound as though theyre really broadcasting.....Thats what I miss about Triple Play, there was always some noise if you listened close.

Needs Improvements |
| A gamer from Hawthorne, CA says (28/Jun/2001): |
Though there were some minor changes in MLB 2002 compared the the previous versions, one thing that needs to be improved is skill level, after a certain amount of games, the game level becomes a little too easy. Addition of errors to occur more often like bobbling the ball or through the legs type mistakes to make the game more realistic. I don't know if I'm the only one but, do foul pole homeruns count as hits because the game certainly does not count them as hits, only runs. Overall the homerun camera scenes are nice and the gameplay is still the same which is what makes the game so good. Improved game skill levels and errors would make the game much better as well as making it a little easier to steal a base. Overall, my vote is an 8, which is god. Still my top baseball game there is.

MLB 2002...almost perfect |
| Art from Oceanside, CA says (14/Jul/2001): |
Overall the fast gameplay, graphics, and sound effects are great. The only exception are some glitches that appear in the game. I'm only 10 games into my season and found that everytime I hit a homerun, sometimes the game doesn't count it as a hit...which jacks my batting avg. In one scenario, I hit 3 HR's in 4 at-bats, yet my avg. that pops up everytime I come up to bat says 0 for 2, or 1 for 3. I don't know why it does that but it frustrates me. You can hit 2 HR's in your 2 at-bats, but at the end of the game be 0 for 2. I also found this game a bit too easy to hit HR's. It took me 1 hr to finish 9 innings because I kept hitting HR's. Another thing, whenever I'm base-running, I can't grasp the control of advancing one runner and returning one to a base. It seems that they both advance or both return. Either way, I get out (need to work on that). Other than those, this is a great game to play. Great job 989!!!

very disappointing |
| Dyer from Idaho USA says (18/Jul/2001): |
well if you like to come out and beat your opponent 30-0, with 20 home runs...then this is the game for you. There are way too many home runs...I just got done playing a game and everyone on my team had multiple homeruns besides one guy(who sucks), the most someone had was 4. You could play a single game for a few hours if you actually kept trying when you bat. I mean after a while I just start throwing in bunts so I can get out. Cut down on the homeruns. It is way to easy to strike them out. All you have to do is throw a slider down and to the right, a low-inside fastball, and a inside change up and you have a strikeout...it's as simple as that. I like how they keep stats of almost everything. And the glitches suck.

A hard game but easily the best baseball game on the market |
| Matt Boyd from Orangeville Canada says (15/Aug/2001): |
I have had this game since its debut and i still haven't mastered it but its still fun. Lets start with the best part the game, the graphics. They were amazing each player was highly detailed and looked like the actual players. The gameplay is fun and addicting as well, I can play for hours. The cpu is no joke either it will match you play for play if you are new to the game. The only hard part which brings the game down a bit is the controls of the game. At the start you will have almost no clue about most of the controls and it takes time to learn them well. Despite the controls this is still a great game with many modes of gameplay you wont get bored any time soon. I recomend that you buy this game but feel free to rent it first.

What a thrill |
| Jeff McVicker from Ohio, USA says (15/Sep/2001): |
I think the game has incredible feats in it. The graphics are the best i have yet seen. And the way they play the game is great.One of the best things about this great game is that its played like actuall Major League Baseball. I have never seen a game with such memory on it before. The way the schedule is. Always having the time and day of the game. I can go on for ever. But the one thing that still shock me is the way they show homeruns. With such views and to get into a game so much and too want to sit down and play this game is just a thrill-seeker waiting to happen

There should be no limits |
| Justin from Minnesota, USA says (15/Sep/2001): |
I have already max out the RBIs and they resetted on me. 102 hrs with 46 RBIs just don't sound right. All of this before the all star break. That is one of the bad aspects of this game. The bad commentary also they should get new sports boardcasters. They should also have history where if you break a record they player should get the game ball, and have a celebration. Should be rain delays it gets sicken having an overcast sky with no rain. I just hope MLB 2003 is a lot better than this one
|
Good game for a while at least |
| maxwell from cardanels says (29/Sep/2001): |
You buy it,you play it,you never touch it again.Thats what happend to me and my friends.We bought it then we played it for a week and a half but after that it just never got played again.Sure its one of the only 2002 game but its also one of the worst.The gameplay is good,except the outfielding which can get a little out of hand at times.Me and my friend played it for like 45 minutes and the score was 54 to 61.Thats a bad thing because the good players every time they bat if you swing just in time they hit a home run and it can get anoying i'll say.I really want you to buy Triple Play Baseball.

It's good, but needs more realism..... |
| Joe from Kentucky says (4/Oct/2001): |
The graphics are good and it's fun, but if you want a close game you have to hit for conatct always or you'll hit between 10 and 20 homeruns a game. Then if you leave it on contact you still have aboout 20-30 hits and 10 or more runs. The game is just too easy and maybe they should address that. Errors, brawls, and more walks would be nice. I've never walked more than twice in a game or seen a wild pitch, I can throw anywhere and the catcher catches it. I still can't still a base but with this game you don't need to still anyway as the next guy up is sure to homer or drive him in anyways.
