StanJr Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 While I'm very glad to have this cart in my collection, has anybody played this thing? Are they nuts? My first game out I beat the AI 36-7. My first 13 pts came by the 2nd inning (I was just getting the hang of it.) By 25 pts I came to the conclusion that I would ban the hitting of home runs entirely and only score off base hits. By 35 pts I called off hitting ANYTHING besides bunts, AND I STILL SCORED A RUN in the bottom of the 9th (don't ask why the computer allowed the bottom of the 9th to even happen). This is the sloppiest sports game out there. I sure hope the 2 player version is better.... Sheesh. Super Challenge Baseball is still the best (but I've never played Pete Rose...) Stan Musial (ha!)

woodyi76 Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 The worst baseball game of all time is Major league Baseball for the NES. I average around 90 runs a game. I give up an average of 1 hit per game. I could beat this game with my eyes closed and playing with my feet. By the way I hear Realsports baseball for the 5200 is very good you should check that out.

Ze_ro Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I bought a copy of Captain Silver for the Sega Master System which turned out to be a mislabelled copy of American Baseball (Or more likely, someone opened the carts and switched the boards). I've never had the patience to actually finish a whole game of any of the baseball games out there though... I can't stand the sport. --Zero... getting ready for flames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 No Flames from me Zero (i cant handle watching a season of baseball, but the playoff's are different) , the only Baseball games i could handle playing was Genesis- Tommy Lasordas baseball and NES - Baseball stars and the Bases Loaded series And 2600 M-networks Super Challenge Baseball (with friends) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodyi76 Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I love sports mostly football and baseball. I just can't stand alot of baseball games though. There either way to easy ala Major league baseball or the computer makes all these amazing comebacks everytime ala Allstar baseball games for N64. Pitching is not very well done in most baseball games also. It's too easy to pinpoint pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I've never been a fan of sport titles myself. On the Atari I played M-Networks football with my dad alot. That was pretty good. Also one other Baseball game I played on the NES or Super NES???. I cant remember the name. You had all the teams but their names were changed. Like the Atlanta Braves..Were the Atlanta Amebas!!! The game itself wasn't a funny or cartoony game though it was pretty fun playing 2 players with my brother. The beer we were drinking might have helped tho!

Genki Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I'd add Base Wars. I figured out how to always strike out every player and last time I played through I had a cxomplete shut ins. If it wasn't for the cure battling robot scenes I could have chucked hat game long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I think the AI is playing Realsports rounders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I've never been able to play any Baseball game on the 2600. Try RS Baseball for the 5200, it's one of my favortie games. For some reason the 7800 version was actually worse! As for the 2600 version, try Super Baseball. It's exactly the same game with a few graphic changes and major bug fixes. That should help your AI problem. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari70s Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 PETE ROSE BASEBALL some what better game bigger field but i think the scoring the same first game 19-1. i had one in the 70s i think 73 - 6 . sounds like a Rutgers loosing football game. but i still think its thebest baseball game for the 2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcprs1 Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Pete Rose is really great looking, but way too easy to hit homeruns. BTW, Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES is still the best sports game ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Pete Rose is THE best baseball game available for the 2600. It's got all the frills you'd expect from a good NES baseball cartridge... its only flaw is the license. I can imagine the look on the designer's face when Pete Rose got busted for betting on baseball... ouch. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
