Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, and Ted Williams are among the classic players you can control in this realistic baseball game. Play solo against Triple Play 2001's enhanced artificial intelligence (AI) or go head-to-head against your buddies. For added realism, experience the game from either the behind-the-fielder view or the outfielder's perspective. The improved AI offers more strategic hitting and player and pitcher substitutions. The umpire even argues and gives high fives. Great plays are rewarded with unlocked extras and cheats, including special players and power-ups.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed bag, March 20, 2000

This review is from: Triple Play 2001 (Video Game)

This game is a disappointment.

The truly wonderful thing about last years TP2K was the framerate was cranked up to a consistant 30 fps. The animation is very, very choppy in TP2001, which makes it difficult to understand how Electronic Arts could regress so much in a years time. The new facial mapping is nice, but the stadiums seem to have taken a hit looks-wise in the process. The much touted defensive point of view fielding option is fairly difficult to get used to, and the decreased framerate doesn't make it easier.

On the positive side, the AI hitters aren't hitting your pitching quite as easily as in TP2K -- you can strike them out. The fielding controls are responsive, as are the hitting controls. The "Big League Challenge" extreme mode is pretty fun, combining homerun derby with target practice. There is something to be said for the sight of the Babe launching an opposite field homer straight at a glass building, shattering windows in the process. The audio, as always, is excellent.

I gave this title 3 stars because TP2001 isn't quite bad enough to warrant 2 stars. There are enough positives to recommend this title to newcomers of the TP series. Veteran TP players may want to rent it first, however.

3.0 out of 5 stars Best Baseball for Playstation but...., July 21, 2000

By A Customer

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Triple Play 2001 (Video Game)

The action in this game is fast. It is a fun game overall with lots of nice added game play modes like a home run derby with targets to strike outside the park, and a legends mode where you can play with all time baseball greats like Hank Aaron or Babe Ruth for example. The main drawback to this game though is the pure lack of realism. It just feels outdated when you play it. There is no Playstation baseball title that beats it, trust me I have played them all, but if you have a Nintendo 64 try All Star Baseball 2001 instead. All Star Baseball for the N64 is much more realisic with far better graphics and gameplay. If playstation is all you got though, try Tripple Play 2001.

This review is from: Triple Play 2001 (Video Game)

There are several cool new features in this game, such as an option called Points Cap Play. What this means is that if you make some nice plays or make more difficult accomplishments, you are given points that you can spend on anything from upgrading your players, buying legends of the game or even a new stadium. With this option on, you can also get free bonus cheat options (check out 'pulsating head' which is one of the weirdest things I've seen in a game) There are also the old standards, such as single game, season, home run derby. Speaking of home run derby, there is one mode called "extreme" where you try to hit various targets for bonus points. Very fun! As usual, this game has good control, decent graphics and often-funny commentary from Buck Martinez and Jim Hewson. I recommend this game.
