    The others try for the Big Show, but will get sent back to the Cactus Leagues when you get your hands on this.

    One of the most feature rich baseball games that you'll find on a console. It doesn't offer nearly as much as the typical baseball simulation on the PC, but most players will find that all of the important bases have been covered here.

    Possibly the best all-around baseball game for the PlayStation 2.
  4. Sports Gaming Network

    The graphics are clean, but camera flaws ruin the fielding in the game.

    Gameplay is a definite mixed bag but I think there is more good than bad, and it's a great game, if you can get past the quirky bugs.

    There are very bad collision problems with the ball and the fielder. I can't explain how frustrating it is for a player to catch a ball that is seven feet away from his glove.

    Underneath the silver lining of good graphics and bunches of options lies seriously flawed gameplay that ultimately ruins the experience.

    I like the features of all star baseball 2002 and the graphics are better and that beats Triple play 2002.
