Reception

Next Generation similarly commented that All-Star Baseball '97 is not groundbreaking title in gameplay and graphics, but considered it decent. GamePros The Rookie was more critical to the graphics, controls and bad camera.

He scored it higher than the PlayStation version in control and fun factor, and equal in graphics and sound.
