Summary: Excellent for beginners and experts
Review: A terrific game. In its "Rookie" mode it's easy to learn and play for beginners; in more advanced modes it's realistically challenging. The graphics are excellent and the action is realistic. Players can be traded or drafted for fantasy play, and there is a program by which one can enter themselves as a player with a scanned photo. Five stars all around.

Summary: Good in so many ways.
Review: Admittedly I haven't played a baseball game for quite a few years (since probably Hardball 5?), but having bought Triple Play 2001 for my PC I was very impressed.It is easy to learn in the Beginners mode and becomes more challenging thereafter. There is a wide variety of options, including single games, a season and of course the home run derby. The graphics are excellent, with each of the stadiums I have been to in rl being faithfully represented. The marquis players are represented quite well both facially and in their batting styles, and the graphics during gameplay are very smooth. The trading system is quite good, and although I haven't done it myself, I know some of my friends would LOVE the ability to perform a complete league draft. There are only a few minor criticisms I would level. * The pitchers tend not to throw many balls, and drawing a walk is quite difficult. * The starting pitchers get tired too quickly, about 60 pitches and you are more or less done. * I say about because unfortunately some stats I consider important are missing, especially while playing a game, such as a pitch count for instance. Having the ability to see a standard box score during a game would have been a good idea for me. * Errors are strangely incorporated. With errors on, I will see 4 or 5 in one game, and then won't see another error for 10 games or so, I would have preferred a little more regular than they are. But all that aside, I have spent probably several hundred hours playing this game and am yet to tire of it...If you like baseball and baseball games, get it, for me it has proven money well spent!

Summary: Good Game
Review: All I can say is buy High Heat Baseball. It's a much better product and an acurate baseball game. As a huge sports gaming fan I can honestly say that the Triple Play series is a waste of time.

Summary: Realism? Not even close........
Review: EA Sports should have released TP 2001 as an arcade game because that is exactly what it plays like. Don't get me wrong, the game LOOKS great. But that's where the thread with reality stops. I love sports games for the PC, and usually take a team of my design on a full season and see where they end up. TP 2001 does not have injuries built into the season mode. Your players can play every day, all game and show no signs of wear and tear. Finish a season with your invincible team? No franchise mode. Other game flaws include diving, which must be done with an almost ESP like sense of direction if you want to even hope to stop a ball. If you decide to turn errors on, watch out. Manny Ramirez had 8 "errors" on balls that seemed to award an error just because they were hit in his direction. On the other hand if you like arcade style gameplay, codes that give players unecessary and unuseable attributes such as big heads, little bodies, large bats, Superman like speed, and no concept of what baseball is all about, then rush out and buy this immmediately.

Summary: Immaculate graphics but extremely difficult to maneuver!
Review: I have always enjoyed playing baseball video games, since the initial introduction of the now ancient ATARI 2600 edition. While the graphics, options, and record keeping capabilities in Triple Play 2001 are immaculate, I have had a very difficult time in controlling baserunners, which has made this game very frustrating and unenjoyable. For example, if you do not constantly hold your runner on base, which will interfere with your ability to concentrate on the pitch, regardless of the difficulty or option settings, he will go. Or if you have multiple runners, you simply can not advance one without moving them all. Therefore, this has led to numerous double and even triple plays, which has cost me more games than I care to discuss. Overall, I really enjoy the game, until the times (always) in which I have had poor baserunning experiences.

Summary: Good but some flaws
Review: I have experieced that TP2001 is a great game. I have TP97-2001, it seems that 2001 is the best version there is. However, there are some flaws. The baserunning is difficult. Almost impossible. The computer seems to throw at the base all day. In one game, the computer threw 28 times in a row to first base. What kind of system error is that? Another one is that you cannot advance just the first base runner, when you have a guy at third. For some reason, the runner on third will come home. Hmm... another error? Well, on the bright side, the game graphics and the hitting stands are nice. Major improvement from 2000 version. Disappointment: When will they post roster updates? Other games like Harball 5 had roste updates, why won't EA sports do the same? ???

Summary: Poor graphics takes away from gameplay
Review: I know graphics don't make a game, but in this case, with bad controls and poor gameplay, it does. I bought this game because I felt EA Sports was one of the top software companies. They still are, but I think you should look at different games before choosing this one.

Summary: Its not as good as it seems
Review: i played this game while also renting its top rival"MLB 2001". Although Triple Play 2001 has cool teams and the added players, it was not nearly as good as MLB 2001, which does have Griffey with the Reds. The grafics are alot more realistic on MLB 2001 than they are in Triple Play 2001. Overall, I like MLB 2001 more so than The newest Triple Play release.

Summary: Good but some flaws
Review: I see all these reviews where people are criticizing this game. This is BY FAR the best PC baseball game ever made. The graphics are exellent, and you really get interactive with it. This game is really easy to work with and is the best of all the triple play games ever made. EA Sports created something really good. Perfect to own!!!!!!
