They're all two-dimensional, which makes the stands look like multi-colored boxes off which the foul balls bounce. The players look realistic and their real faces are captured pretty well (sadly, you can't put your face in this game like you can in NHL 2000), although the crowd is lame. The graphics overall are well done and fluid.
Having a big set of arrows and a red box to run toward can be helpful.
I do like the help the computer will give you with your fielders, however. They kept getting caught in run-downs or would get take off on line drives and get doubled off their base. My players made way too many boneheaded gaffes during the games I played. You might also look into controlling your baserunners manually instead of letting the computer do it. Baseball games are usually a lot easier to get the hang of than football or hockey games anyway. The learning curve in Triple Play 2000 is pretty quick, so I wouldn't recommend continuing to play your games on rookie level unless you enjoy 14-12 final scores. Calling up the replay on my own wasn't much better because it only has a certain number of preset camera angles you can't move around the replay and get a good close-up like you can in other sports titles. I wanted to see a television-style replay so that I could see where the ball landed, but the game just continued to the next batter. For some reason you get to see all the foul balls again, but hit a monster home run and you won't see it again unless you call it up. Unlike other EA titles, there's also very little in the way of replays during the game. The play-by-play is pedestrian more than once Hughson neglected to mention an error or miscalled a play. There is some commentary on the players which discusses their careers and previous seasons, but there certainly could have been more.

That's a shame, because if there's any sport which is just full of anecdotes and comments, it's baseball with its lull between pitches. While it's not as sparse as Madden NFL 2000, it's not nearly as lively as NHL 2000 or even NBA Inside drive 2000. Triple Play 2000 is a good game which is prevented from being a great one by the little things that gamers always look for when playing sports titles.īuck Martinez and Electronic Arts' own Jim Hughson provide the color commentary and play-by-play respectively.
