Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — A base hit toward the back wall The player can select from five to nine innings. Players can choose to throw five different kinds of pitches either slowly, normal, or fast. One or two players can select exhibition mode or playoff mode. CPU vs CPU or CPU vs CPU quick mode can speed a tournament, to see the stats of that particular match and quickly end tournaments. The game uses city names but not the team names because of lack of proper licensing with Major League Baseball. The players are purely fictional and cannot be edited. Some of the player names are parodies, such as Baltimore's "Kenrip" resembling "Cal Ripken". A cheat code allows an all-Bo Jackson baseball team. The Amiga and TurboGrafx-16 versions include a league mode and enhanced 16-bit graphics.
