Oh please.

This game has so many flaws it is incredible.

In fact the only positive point is that you can select the number of innings (1/3/5/7/9) in the exhibition game, which is the only game you'll ever play as there is no season or playoff.

And as for the Home Run Derby(TM), you might as well not bother as consists of two batters, incuding the fellar you choose! And since when (bar Mark McGwire) has any batter consistantly hit 13 HR's in a Round, as keeps occuring when I play and re-play the HR Derby.

All-Star Baseball however, has a season, and a good Home Run Derby game, and it is smoother and better!

And speed...If you hit a HR in an game in Triple Play, don't expect the ball to go into the stand this side of the Millenium! And the same applies for throwing, if you ever feel the need to throw the ball to one of the bases. It's slow!

Buy All-Star Baseball 2000!

Unbelievably bad game. No season, no roster management, the homerun derby is boring...I have a 6 year old baseball game for original gameboy that beats this garbage hands down. Don't waste your money.
