The
season's over but the boys of summer, in Japan, keep on swinging
in this enjoyable baseball simulation. A standard game mode pits
one out of twelve professional Japanese teams against another in
full motion captured detail. Once you're at bat, players may swing
at bad pitches, switch players at will, and adjust batting
stances. Similar to strides made in Konami's Winning Eleven
series, player facial details and physique types are true to life
with rotund players as well as lanky types on the field. A full
season may also be played and team rankings are kept up to date to
bring on some semblance of pennant race excitement as the season
comes to a close. A practice mode gives beginners some much needed
batting and pitching training and a team player mode profiles all
480 players in the Japanese professional league. Television
announcer Akira Kawamura provides chattering play-by-play on the
action as it unfolds. |
