He will still swing at a ball over the plate and make contact even though his bat is swinging on the opposite side of the screen but come on. This is a third generation title from a company that strives and thrives on quality sports games. How does this make it past the testers? Graphically, TP 99 is excellent. The players are all made of polygons and they look pretty realistic. Little guys are now little and big guys are now big.
Players with facial hair have facial hair and so on. The TV style presentation works great, and you will feel like you are watching a ball game on the tube. The stadiums were also incredible with an enormous amount of detail spent on each and every park. If you can get past the glitches and oversights, this is a fun game to play. I really enjoy the realistic look and feel of the game. I wish that EA had waited a few more weeks to put this game out and fixed the little things that managed to sneak through the cracks.
If you are starving for a new baseball game before the real season gets underway, this will be your only choice. All in all, you should be satisfied to a certain degree. OK, first--the good stuff: Triple Play's overall presentation and feel are top-notch. If I were reviewing the game based on presentation alone, it'd get a 10, easily. From the intro to the game interface to the menu graphics and sound effects--everything is done perfectly. The play-by-play is astoundingly good even better than NHL 98 's , and the crowd interaction is without a doubt the best I've ever heard.
Also, the stat tracking is second to none. You can play an entire career and track the stats of every player, and the game will even bring up interesting stats from time to time based on your overall playing experience.
Now, the bad stuff. The otherwise excellent gameplay of TP99 is marred by one severe problem--the frame-rate. It's so choppy that it not only makes the game look bad, but it affects fielding, often resulting in botched plays. There are some minor problems too, like baserunners going too fast making double plays unrealistically infrequent , but nothing truly drastic. Overall it's too bad though, because if the game played smoother, it'd be nearly flawless.
I'm still very pleased, but this one glaring problem really does affect play and absolutely needs to be fixed next time around. As it stands. Triple Play 99 is a very good game that could've-and should've-been great. I don't think I've ever seen a sports game loaded with so many cool options, but with such flawed gameplay. This is like playing baseball in mud. The erratic frame-rate and choppy player animations make it difficult to field and judge pitching speeds among other things.
The intro, deep stats, features and sound particularly the two-man commentary are great, but it doesn't change the fact that this game isn't very fun to play. We've all played games like this before: games that look sharp standing still Triple Play 99 suffers from some God-awful frame-rates which adversely affects how the game plays and to a lesser extent, how it con trolls.
The stadiums look nice, the play-byplays are awesome and the game is extremely easy to get into. The poor animation, however, keeps the game from stardom. Triple Play could bring around the warm feeling of summertime ball play with its decent graphics, interesting and funny commentary and slick interface, but the game's choppy animation and graphics remind me all too much of the rigid, cold winter.
If you can manage to overlook the animation, you're left with a fun baseball game with a load of options, and a good number of modes of play. I like Two-player Mode the best. In an effort to get a running start on the competition and the new baseball season, EA is preparing to launch the newest edition of their Triple Play series earlier than ever before.
Hopefully, this emphasis on timeliness won't hinder the development on the game. Judging from the early playable version that we have, it doesn't appear to be a problem. Fans of the Triple Play series will immediately feel at home with the 99 edition. Some of the biggest changes include a faster interface and more intuitive controls. It seems EA is trying to make the game easy to control, while not sacrificing any of the realism or options the game has become known for.
While some of this tweaking is accomplished through the streamlining of options, other parts of it are done through incredibly customizable skill levels. Many aesthetic enhancements have been made, mainly achieved by the addition of new player animations throw from the knees, running throws and a jumping throw and smoother transitions between them.
EA is also quick to point to their oddly named "Living Stadium Sound," which basically amounts to a lot of crowd chatter, two-man play-by-play commentary and random ballpark announcements. Barring any huge gaffes, this array of subtle improvements to last year's solid but not without flaws baseball game should propel Triple Play 99 to the upper echelon of PlayStation baseball games.
The competition's heating up in the PlayStation ballpark, but Triple Play '99 appears to be headed for a playoff spot with a nicely retooled look and promising gameplay. This time around, competing games will likely give il a serious run for its money, but Triple '99's well prepared for the heat--this preview version already displayed the early signs of a strong baseball game.

Top downloads. List of top downloads. Tom 0 point. You need to delete some files before you can install this game. So I right click the hard drive to where the game is currently at. Says I have GB free. I highly doubt this game needs GB of space.
I haven't yet tried to edit other files for sound. The game currently does run, just no sound. I will give them credit in that they are usually accurate when calling pitches, but not so accurate when calling the fielder the ball was hit to. Also, they tend to spit out useless information and claim that insignificant plays are just what the other team needs to get them going.
The two announcers are a neat idea, but are plagued with the same problems as most announcers in any sports game. My biggest complaint with TP 98 lies in the realism factor. I like baseball games that are as real as possible. I don't like games where one team gets 63 hits and scores 32 runs and the other team gets 78 hits and scores 41 runs.
I want the game to play like a real baseball game. With that in mind, the first pitch I ever faced ended up in the bleachers feet away by a player that had 6 home runs all of last year. So then I think that it was beginners luck I think you see what I am getting at.
It was too easy to score and hitting had too much of an advantage over pitching. I pitched Randy Johnson against the computer with the difficulty set to Rookie. I should have struck out at least 10 batters, but struck out 0. That's right, 0. It's not that I was pitching badly, but the computer would not swing unless it was a strike. It does make for some games packed with offensive action, but it's not realistic at all. One thing I did not like about the first Triple Play was the way that your outfielders felt like they were running in knee deep sand when trying to get to fly balls.
This has been corrected and the outfielders have a bit more of a lively feel to them. You can also jump at the wall to rob home runs which was a cool addition to the game.
TP98 has all of the standard game modes and options. You can create, trade, and draft players to create yourself a team to play throughout a season. Just about every stat imaginable is available and saved when you are playing a season.
I did find it a bit confusing making my way around through the different menus and selection screens. I kept having to use the on-line help to figure out what buttons to push to accomplish what I wanted to do.
I guess that is why they have online help. The graphics are really what make this game stand out over the others. Home Emulators Platforms Games. Seattle Mariners shortstop Alex Rodriguez is featured on the cover. Triple Play 99 adds 3D hardware support, a career mode, a manager mode and a league-wide draft. TP99 includes all of the real stadiums, including Bank One Ballpark and Tropicana Field, except for the Kingdome, which no longer exists, and three secret stadiums within the game.
