Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A longtime favorite on the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy platforms, Acclaim launches its baseball series on the PlayStation2 with All-Star Baseball 2002. The game is endorsed by the 2000 All-Star Game and World Series MVP Derek Jeter, and matches its realistic baseball simulation with the 128-bit graphic power of the PS2. All-Star Baseball 2002 provides all 30 MLB teams and stadiums (authentically rendered with working scoreboards, Jumbotrons, animated crowds, bullpen action, and fireworks), as well as more than 700 contemporary pro players. In addition, you'll be able to relive history with an authentic Cooperstown team of 25 baseball Hall of Famers, including Reggie Jackson, Nolan Ryan, and Mike Schmidt. The game even has classic uniforms for each club, so you can suit your team up in traditional Brooklyn blue or Astro orange. Thom Brennaman calls the play-by-play and Arizona Diamondbacks manager Bob Brenly is there to give the game's color commentary.

Among the gameplay features is the popular Future Throw Technology, which allows you to predetermine a cutoff man or infielder your player will throw to even before he catches the ball. A 3-D batting icon makes it easier to place hits, whether pulling for the fences or driving a grounder through the gap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Triple Play VS. All-Star Baseball......All-Star MUCH BETTER!, March 23, 2001

All-Star Baseball flat out is much better than Triple Play for the PS2. I bought both of the games and All-Star Baseball is much more realistic. The games are so close to being as real as the pros, while Triple Play, the games are not very exciting and there is not really any competition. All-Star baseball has better graphics and the pitching is awesome. You can actually strike out people in All-Star baseball while in Triple Play it's almost impossible to do. If you are like me you like to monitor stats. The stat category for All-Star Baseball is much better too. When you need to warm up a pitcher you actually have to warm them up in the bull-pen before putting them into the game unlike Triple Play Baseball. With Triple Play Baseball I played three games and was bored. All Star Baseball kept me involved because it is just like the pro's. The first game that I bought was Triple Play Baseball because I thought EA Sports reputation would rule again. But I kept hearing about All Star Baseball and how great it was so I decided to give it a try. All Star Baseball is hands down the winner of the baseball competition for this year's baseball releases for the PS2! Trust me..you won't be disappointed with All-Star Baseball.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a Bad Game, June 3, 2001

This review is from: All Star Baseball 2002 (Video Game)

I read all of the reviews on all three baseball games, so I decided to give this one a try and Triple Play a try. I bought both of them. I started to play TP and it was alright. Then I started to play ASB. It was a whole lot better than TP. The graphics are awesome. Gameplay is great. And the controls are really easy. It is really a competitive game with the computer. The first time that i played it(on rookie of course), the computer was kicking my butt. Then after a while, i started hitting home runs like they were nothing. Then i moved up one more level and it is just like your playing a real season, none of this winning all but 10 games for the whole season. See I'm really into getting beat a lot, to make it seem real. And on the veteran level, that is perfect. I dont win 20 in a row, I win maybe 3 and then lose a couple. It is great. You can throw people out on your knees, rob someone of a home run, 1st baseman jumping for a bad throw or scooping up one too. The only reason that i gave this game 4 stars instead of 5 is that when you are going for a ground ball or fly ball, is that you can get the ball when your an inch or two(on the TV) away from it. It's a really nice game. I recommend that you rent all three and find out for yourself.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best PS2 game so far, March 21, 2001

By 

A gamer (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All Star Baseball 2002 (Video Game)

I was waiting for a baseball game most of last year and all of this year. I had planned on getting Triple Play, but after reading reviews, I found out that it was very arcade stylish, and that when run, Pedro Martinez had an ERA over 7.00,and that just isn't right. After looking into ASB, i got really excited and went to pick it up, and i wasn't dissapointed.

The options are fantastic, as are the graphics, but what really holds this game together is of course the gameplay. It is awesome. The computer A.I. is pretty good also. The only complaints i have is the camera, it's just to low and cpu runner A.i.
