Hitting in Triple Play 2001 is more guesswork and less of a 'real' experience. Pitching also suffers a bit, as it seems you throw to a general area rather than spotting your pitch. TP 2001 is more of an arcade-style slugfest and should not be played by sim-nuts like myself. A little bit funds a lot of bytes: Every dollar donated in December will be matched 3-to-1.

Triple Play Edition 2001 is a simulation of baseball, in which the producer for the first time joined the game of the legend of this sport. The history of baseball comes alive with the greatest stars such as Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Ted Williams and many others. Now you can measure today's stars against their famous predecessors.
The game has improved graphics, improved face and reaction animation of players, added new body and head textures. The realism of the games has also been improved by adding a camera view from the top to the pitch and the general perspective of the field of play, as well as by adding the ceremonial ending of the match.
Actually played games) and those that your little brother loves because he can hit cannon-shot home runs with his eyes closed. TheTriple Play series fits into the second category like a key in a lock. But honestly, I dont mind; in fact, Ive been waving the Triple Playlove flag for several years now. This edition, however, is testing my allegiance. For starters, I expect Xbox titles to look one click shyof magnificent, or at least better than a PS2 game. In this slugger, some of the stadiums like Wrigley Field look OK, but the playersare out of proportion (big legs, small torso, big head).
They all look tike they came from the same warped model. While thats notterribly distracting, the choppy framerate is. The throwing animations in particular are chop, chop, choppy. Download musica rise up yves larock original zippy. My final gripe: Compared tolast years PS2 version, the frequency of home runs has been scaled back, but the variety of hits is still flat.
Singles flow like wine, yettriples and doubles are as rare as the North American Tree Sloth (OK, maybe not that rare). On the up side, its relatively bug free, andthe towering home runs and dynamic cameras that show them are still top-notch (the best in the genre). If you can stomach the so-sographics, big cursors and limited hit variety.go for it.
Me, Ill stick with last years sharper, home run-happy PS2 edition.' OK go to the preferences, switch commentary off, no problem. But I cant do anything about the gaudy batting crosshairthat looks like it was taken out of Flash Gordons opening credits.
And thats just the start of the laughs. Wait Ctil you get a load of thebig-headed, man-child players. I bet those huge craniums sapped the Xboxs processors. Its the only explanation for the choppyanimations that make this so difficult to play. And it doesnt just happen on rare occasions; this game cant even show a bunt without aglitchy flaw or two.'
Apologized and just kept upping the ante in terms of gratuitous cannon sound effects, gargantuan home runs and triple-digit radar-gunreadings. Well, these wild feats have been toned down, and theres no excitement left.
The series has stumbled dramatically in termsof basic mechanics. The camera doesnt follow the action too well, hitting feels choppy and disjointed, and fielding is a chore.
Also,the pace of play is much too slow to support the level of hyperexcitement EA is going for. This one is for true Triple Play faithful only.'
