Product Description

A fast paced, leading edge baseball game featuring 16-bit color, high-resolution graphics ( Playstation: high-resolution 512 x 240), and highly detailed 3D stadium environments and high quality 3D player animations derived from motion capture. The perfect balance between action and realism is accentuated through the unique pitcher-batter confrontation, superior artificial intelligence, and speedy pace of play unlike any other baseball game on the market today.
