This is very very sad. The last two were ten times better. But that was on PC, but still the worst game on xbox.

this game was terrible, don't buy it. The graphics and announcers are horribly dissapointing. The home run derby is the worst, the annamation is very bad.

Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 good easy playing game, 2005-02-13
i got Triple Play 2002, cause it looked awsome.

bought it at Best Buy on a gift card, and i love it.

the game is awsome, the music is good, and best of all, it's a very EASY and SIMPLE baseball game.

nothing really special about it. the players faces are AWSOME, and are actually more realistic than the faces of ESPN baseball 2k4 and 2k5. yep, Triple Play 2002 had better more life like face resemblences than the newest baseball games on the market.

the stadiums are all awsome and very accurate, including real up to date stats at Yankee stadium. there are moments that capture a big game moment. home runs and celebrations are awsome.

what i love so much about this game, is that it reminds me of Ken Griffey Jr. baseball, it's so simple and easy to play, not like today's games which are sometimes complicated.

Costas and Harold Reynolds do commentary, and it's awsome, especially when Reynolds sings Take me out to the ball game.

only problems i have, is that it does slow down sometimes. real small glitches where it seems like the game is trying to load between innings. but other than that, good game.

game also includes Barry Bonds and Jose Canseco....;)

overall, good game.


Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5 A Terrible Game, 2002-05-26
This game is terrible. It is slow and boring. I rented it and got bored with it after about five minutes. This game is marketed as a realistic simulation, but is far from it. In exhibition, it won't take you more than a couple of minutes to realize that every other foul ball goes to the same exact same place. The same thing happens with homeruns and basehits. They all end up going to the same exact spot with the same exact animation. Also, where are the routine fly balls. Homeruns outnumber fly balls 100 to 1. It is not uncommon to see multiple back-to-back-to-back homeruns in a game or even in an inning. Actual player skills make no difference. Hitting a homerun with Barry Bonds is just as hard (or just as easy) as hitting a homerun with some guy who didn't hit a single homerun last year.
You would think that by switching the level of play, the homeruns would slow down. Not exactly. The only difference is that the computer starts hitting all of the homeruns. It is no fun winning 100 to 1 or losing 100 to 1. A quick glance at the scoreboard and you would think that you were playing football or basketball. Hey! The uneven level of play is starting to reminf me of the MLB and their greedy salary-cap hating players.
I haven't even begun to mention the minor problems with the game or the problems with the graphics. I'm the kind of guy who likes all of the "little things" added to a game to keep it more realistic. In Triple Play 2002, you have to hit 90 mph curveballs in the Homerun Derby and the Expos sell out every game. Baseball is one of the easiest sports to get right because it does not have continuous action. EA Sports needed to get this right because of the increasing competition from Sega Sports. They failed miserably, making me even more devoted to Sega Sports. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!
