Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Triple Play Baseball is about as close as one could get to a hypothetical Extreme Baseball League (call it XBL). The game's Big League Challenge pits you against baseball's biggest sluggers in a home run contest, and Extreme mode will provide targets to challenge your timing and accuracy. Baseball purists, however, shouldn't be alarmed--Triple Play Baseball is still a very traditional game. It includes updated rosters, stats, and stadiums (including new additions Miller Park in Milwaukee and Pittsburgh's PNC Park). Toronto Blue Jays manager Buck Martinez and Jim Hughson provide the game's color commentary and play-by-play, respectively.

5.0 out of 5 stars Triple Play Baseball Hits A Home Run!, June 29, 2003

I recently upgraded my computer to Windows XP, and I am happy to report that Triple Play Baseball is compatible with that. What impresses me most about this game is its attention to detail. I have played games in every major league baseball park, and am amazed at the similarity to the real parks when I see them on TV. I strongly suggest setting the overall difficulty level of the game to ROOKIE when first learning the game. Pitching is fairly easy to master, while hitting successfully is a matter of timing. Catching the ball is the hardest part for me to master. Set the fielding difficulty to Automatic when starting out, and you'll never miss catching the ball. Once you've played the game for a while, you can try the fielding difficulty level at CPU Assist. You'll see an arrow pointing you in the right direction to catch the ball, but you have to make the catch on your own. If you're feeling really confident, you can set the fielding level of difficulty to Manual. At that level, it's really hard to catch a hard line drive or a long fly ball. After you've played the game well enough to consistently win at the ROOKIE level, try setting the overall game difficulty to the PRO level. I guarantee you'll have to work harder to keep winning games. I wish you a lot of luck when you play games at the ALL-STAR level. Discover whatever level of difficulty suits you best, and play ball!

4.0 out of 5 stars Loads Of Fun, June 19, 2002

This game is loads of fun at a decent price. I finally decided to get a baseball game but I didn't want to spend a lot of money. At first I wasn't too thrilled about the graphics or the gameplay. But as I played it more, and the more involved I became, I realized what a great game this is. After setting the graphics to the highest possible setting, and READING the manual and learning how to hit and pitch, I was soon playing this game for hours. I have read complaints about this game that it is too easy to hit homeruns and that it is practically impossible to throw strikes. I'll admit at first I had a lot of trouble throwing strikes, but after learning how to adjust the pitcher's power, speed,location,and type of pitch, I have become pretty good at throwing strikes. I have played plenty of 2-1, 1-0,3-2 games where I threw 5-9 strikeouts. And at the same token, Ihave had 13-0,9-6,11-6 games also. So finally, If you wan't to start playing a baseball video game, this a good place to start before you graduate to Triple Play 2002 or High Heat 2002.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool Baseball Game!!!, May 16, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Triple Play Baseball (CD-ROM)

Iv'e been a fan for triple play for about 3 years. I love Baseball!!! You can take your team through a whole 162 game season! You can draft a team or just have a team with just a regular roster. If your into baseball you'll love this game. Don't worry about any violence or any cursing. It doesn't have any of that.
