    This game is the best baseball game i have ever played. Couple of minor adjustments and it would be a 10. Otherwise I give it a 2 thumbs up!!!

    Actually a 9.5. Possibly the best sports game ever made.

    The best baseball game I've played in as long as I can remember. The E3 crowd was all over this one. Well done, Troy...

    This is the best baseball game out for the XBox bar none. But I still have a few beefs with it. The major one is, that you can't edit your rosters, You have to play with the default roster. I can't add Durham to the A's damn it. The other one is your player can only dive and not jump. But both are pretty easy to look past if your a baseball nut.

    If realism is the ultimate goal of the game maker, then World Series Baseball is the Mona Lisa of games. [June 2002, p.84]

    No other baseball title performs so well in so many departments - from visuals and animation to control and replayability. Clearly, the World Series Baseball franchise has regained the luster of its days on the Saturn.
