Far from perfect, the game comes on strong with enough realism and excellent control to shake a bat at.
-
A very fun baseball game to play. The game's great graphics, involving gameplay, and great commentary all blend together to deliver an exciting and authentic game of baseball.
-
The game is a lot of fun to play, regardless of how loose the controls are.
-
The gameplay is surprisingly tight.
-
3DO's High Heat 2003 will be more fun over more time, but if you like your games as pretty as a lingerie model, Triple Play's cup runneth over.
-
I have played all three PS2 baseball games and TP is by far the most entertaining in terms of scoring a lot of runs, racking up a lot of strikeouts, and looking at eye candy. To hold TP to a simulation-standard would be putting it in the wrong genre.

PSM MagazineArcade baseball fans will love this game. [Apr 2002]
-
Other games offer[] more modes of play, better graphics, and more in-depth gameplay.
-
Game InformerNo flash, no pop, just a straight-up baseball game that looks great and plays okay. [Apr 2002, p.76]
-
Pitching is easy and fun, while batting is almost too difficult.
-
The flawed cursor interface gives you little reason to do anything but swing at every ball—in fact, if you take a pitch, the announcers instantly chide you!
-
A wasteland of should have been, could have been, and never was. With a myriad of problems in just about every category.
-
Unfortunately all the fun was vacuum sucked out for a more serious tone.
-
Skill may be virtually impossible to develop in TP2002. The batting interface is so basic it’s nearly laughable.
-
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineGet with it, EA. You're so far behind High Heat it's like you're playing in the minor leagues. [Apr 2002, p.103]
-
The game swings and misses in so many areas that it ends up alienating arcade fans and simulation fans alike.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyCompared to smoother, more realistic titles such as "High Heat" (and to a lesser extent, "All-Star Baseball"), this is an embarrassment. [June 2002, p.114]
