Throws will have the tail and hits will even sport different color tails depending on the power of the contact. The arcade nature of the graphics shows up in full force whenever a run is scored or a home run is hit, thanks to big, pop-up letters. Jim Hughson and Buck Martinez are back to deliver a very smooth description of gameplay. The field sounds have arcade-level intensity.
I nearly jumped out of my chair as two players ran into each other. The crash I heard was louder than explosions in some real-time strategy games I play. Hit the ball with any power and another explosion will be heard. Otherwise, hits sound like hits in real life. One thing EA Sports really knows how to do well is to use catchy music in their games. They even make bass fishing seem exciting in the opening video of Championship Bass.
Triple Play is no exception and the intro video is excellent. If you own a Microsoft Sidewinder gamepad and are at-bat in Triple Play , you only need to know the letter "A. Just keep pressing "A" and watch balls fly around the stadium. I use the word "ball" very loosely because the Pong tennis ball square has come out of retirement and taken residence in Triple Play And just like that wacky Pong ball would do crazy things in years past, so will your "baseball" after it makes contact with the bat in this game.
I had the following sequence occur during one game. Ball is smashed down the first base line and curves in the wrong direction. Accurate physics are optional in our fantasy baseball land. Hughson then informs me that the outfielder should have had that one and an error was charged to the right fielder. One option I forgot to mention was the option of turning off the errors in the game.
I would advise that you do this, because like Microsoft Baseball , Triple Play has way too many errors in the game. Not only are there too many errors, but there are phantom errors like the one that the right fielder received. I've read complaints from people about Triple Play where they can't understand why EA Sports isn't fixing some statistical bugs in the game, or why the game can't perform a double switch. I just have to scratch my head and wonder if the complainers understand that this game really isn't about baseball.
People complain about the lack of a real editor in Triple Play Fortunately a fan utility allows you to do what EA Sports seems unwilling to provide. People complain that buying things in the Season Store make their players unrealistic!
Pitchers are recorded as making appearances in the game when they do not make appearances and folks seem surprised by this. Triple Play isn't about baseball. He understands that being concerned about your pitchers getting tired too quickly just isn't part of the Triple Play experience. You shouldn't care about the position of your infielders and their ability not to get to routine infield hits nor should you care about the wide spaces covered by all of your fleet-footed outfielders.
Okay, people should be upset that some systems have difficulty with some of the stadiums in the game and their frame rate will dip down. This is not very Triple Play -like and is what people should realistically be complaining about. Triple Play is about quick, mindless entertainment. If you're expecting hard hitting, meaningful television, you do not sit down in front of David Hasselhof and then complain about his show's lack of social commentary.
If you want to shut off your mind for a few minutes, Baywatch is your program. It's all about the visuals, and in a way Triple Play delivers on this promise. It doesn't bog you down with baseball details and a game can be completed in no time. Overall, the new player editor and statistics help the game seem a bit more realistic, but the unrealistic batter interface, repetitive game commentaries, weak in-game interface, negligible AI tweaks, and arcady cheat system all make Triple Play seem like it's headed for the minors.
Is it the second best baseball simulator on the market? But then, there are only two. Screenshots from MobyGames. Pizza 1 point. Aurele Lecompte 0 point. Santiii RVM 0 point. Mickey Mouse 0 point.

Pitching also suffers a bit, as it seems you throw to a general area rather than spotting your pitch. TP is more of an arcade-style slugfest and should not be played by sim-nuts like myself. Folks, the great power pitchers in the wonderful game of baseball do not throw mph fastballs. And on bloop singles over the first baseman's head, the right fielder does not become a spectator. If you're up for a sim-style baseball game, don't waste your time on this dud.
Triple Play might wow some with their graphics, but outside of hitting home runs with the icons from baseball's past, this game can stay in the box 'tit PS2 comes to town. I'm a big fan of this game, but I have to admit the pitching is not as accurate as I'd like.
I had a tough time placing the ball exactly where I wanted it. That's the main gripe, I'm pleased with everything else. The Big League Challenge and new Legend players are definitely cool additions. On top of that, the graphic detail both in the players and the stadiums has improved a lot. OK, just one more complaint, at times it seems just a hair choppy Baseball fans always look forward to spring with renewed hope and enthusiasm.
After watching a few baseball games I always seem to get the urge to play a baseball video game -- fortunately, there's usually a new one on the market to satisfy that yen. I played Triple Play on the Playstation last year and the menus and gameplay are very similar in this game. Four new stadiums have been added to Major League Baseball and are in this game. Players can dive for balls, have a burst of speed, or climb the outfield fence and reach over the stands into the crowd to snag a foul ball.
You can also have the cpu handle the base running or fielder control. The game has four difficulty levels and also has a separate hitting difficulty level so this is one game your skill level will never outgrow. I love the way the Madden NFL series allows you pinpoint accuracy as you move around the players and play back the action at various speeds, but this game has none of that. There are a lot of cameras to view the replay from, but if none of them are right then you're stuck.
The controls are also touchy, which makes it difficult to speed up and slow down the action the way you want to. I was also annoyed by the fact that the CPU never showed replays on its own during the game; if I wanted to see one, I had to do it myself.
The only time you get to see a play over again is during home runs, and even then it's limited to seeing the ball leave the bat from a few angles and then a long shot of it flying into the stands. How about a close-up of the outfielders watching it go over the fence or a shot of the pitcher dejectedly watching its trajectory? One aspect of Triple Play which I have to admit is nice is its player modeling. Randy Johnson is tall and lanky with hair streaming from the bottom of his cap while Kenny Lofton is little and quick.
The players' faces look good, and the animations are fluid, with no hitches in the action. My only gripe in this area is the fact that the players' names don't fit across the backs of their jerseys if they're too long. How hard would it have been to scale the type?
The sound is also pedestrian. Jim Hughson and Buck Martinez don't always call the action correctly, and there's an obnoxious bug which hands out errors on obvious base hits. I played one game where the National League All Stars had six errors; almost all of them were on base hits where the computer inexplicably gave an error to an outfielder as he threw the ball back to the infield.
