What Kind Of Game Is This?
Not a very good one.
You Must Not Like This Game Because It Has No Licenses
Nah, that's okay. They just changed the names of every player by one or two letters. For example, Gene Larkin is L. Garkin. And Steve Sax is Clarinet. They got some of the stats wrong, though. They gave Knoblauch twelve homers.
Then It Must Be The Fielder's Perspective
Nah, that's okay. Except for the fact that the players run in the opposite direction that you're pressing, they are very fluid. Even the dives look real!
The Confusing Buttons?
Nah. It completely makes sense that each direction on the control pad doesn't represent a specific base, but rather is contingent on the direction the fielder is facing when he lets go.
How About The Fact That When The Pitcher Throws A Fastball, You Must Swing Before The Pitcher Lets Go If You Want To Hit It?
No problem. I like a challenge.
Okay, I Got It. You Distaste This Game Because Each Computer At Bat Is Predetermined
Bingo. Using an emulator, I threw eight different pitches to Mike Pagliarulo, restoring the last save state after each pitch. All eight times, he hit a homer in the exact same place. I even tried throwing a few balls before throwing one over the plate. Same result.
So Who Would You Recommend This To?
Roger's children. They need to see their father for who he really is.
