Summary: Criticizing This Game is Pointless
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!!!!!!

Summary: Triple Play 2001
Review: I would highly recomend Triple Play 2001 to sports lovers everywhere. Although they don't have Griffey Jr. on the Reds, you can download a roster patch on the EA Sports web site soon. This game has great graphics, including realistic details in the parks and the uniforms. Triple Play's rival MLB 2001 uses ploygons, which gives it a more box shape. Triple Play has many great modes and overall I will give it a five star rating.

Summary: Very UNREALISTIC
Review: I'm a huge baseball fan and enjoy playing baseball games on my pc. I'm also a purist and don't like to see unrealistic aspects of sports games. But that is exactly what TP2001 is, very unrealistic to actual major league baseball. Here are some examples,* When your team builds a lead, the cpu team will get the runs back, GUARANTEED. I was never able to keep a lead. They can lay down a bunt straight to the pitcher and still outrun the throw (meaning the batter has to run about 30 mph to beat the throw). Also, it is more difficult for your pitcher because the cpu batters will hit homeruns more often when behind in order to regain the lead. It doesn't matter how you pitch, one mistake, and the cpu batter goes yard. A cpu PITCHER hit a 600 ft. home run to tie the game. UNREALISTIC!!! These things are impossible in major league baseball. * Errors are too scattered when that mode is on. A player may commit multiple errors in one inning, but for the next several games, he will play perfect ball. * You can earn "rewards" during a season where you can use very long bats, or have players with big heads. Give me a break. * It is difficult to control baserunning after hits. Sometimes the computer will automatically advance baserunners when it is not appropriate, and you may not be able to reverse the runner. On the plus side, the graphics are excellent, and the other features, like home run contest are interesting. But the actual game is not worth it. If you are like me, and want to buy a purely realistic baseball game, this is NOT it.

Summary: Excellent baseball simulation!
Review: In a word, "Triple Play 2001" is superb. For ease of play, features, and graphics quality, there is no finer baseball simulation available. When I first began using TP 2001, it appeared to be only a minor upgrade to last year's "Triple Play 2000;" however, once I started playing it regularly, it became very evident to me that EA Sports had made some pretty extensive enhancements, and had done so without sacrificing playability or speed with increased system requirements. Some of the more notable improvements to TP 2001 include: three Home Run Challenge modes (Tournament, One-on-One, and Extreme, (where you can choose some alternate - and very extreme - sites for hitting your homers); the addition of Baseball Legends (MLB players with 500 home runs or more) to Home Run Challenge; the ability to use your mouse, along with your keyboard and joystick/gamepad, as an input device for all aspects of the game (as far as I know, TP 2001 is the only baseball simulation to offer this); and a highly entertaining system of reaping rewards during regular game play. As always, you can play a regular game, simulate a season, manage from the dugout, be a general manager, and create your own players. I've been a computer baseball addict for many years. "Triple Play 2001" is the best baseball simulation I've used yet. It's the easiest to set up, the most realistic to play, and...well, simply the most fun!

Summary: What an improvement!
Review: The PC version of this game has improved dramatically as the players have faces and team logos on their helmets and hats. I'm also glad that EA Sports included alternate road uniforms, e.g. Mets black road jerseys and Blue Jays Blue road jerseys). I only wish that users can choose their uniforms, e.g. NHL 2000. Big League Challenge is a nice addition to the game. It's a perfect PC game as it utilitizes the mouse for batting and fielding.
