Why It Sucks
The 3D character models are really stiff and robotic. In contrast, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and many other games at the time have much better looking 3D character models.
The gameplay isn't quite as fun.
The color commentator Abner Dubbleplay is so annoying and he never shuts up! His voice is so nasally sounding and infuriating, his guts are awful, and he makes a lot of jokes relating to robots.
The game should've had a lot more pros.
A perfect example would be Roy Halladay since he had pitched excellent the last two years before the game's release going 19-7 in 2002 while posting a 2.93 ERA with 168 strikeouts in 239.1 innings in a breakout season and 22-7 in 2003 with a 3.25 ERA in 266 innings while winning the Cy Young Award. He also recorded 204 strikeouts and only 32 walks, good for a 6.38 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He even appeared in the all-star game in both aforementioned years.
Other perfect examples include Ken Griffey Jr, Manny Ramirez, Trevor Hoffman, Mariano Rivera, Vladimir Guerrero, Craig Biggio, and Jeff Bagwell.
There's no team photo whatsoever for your team.
No 'Meet the Players' option.
You can't view the CPU's team's lineup and defense alignment whatsover for a game unlike a lot of other sports video games.
You can't save a game that you're playing in season mode if you exit during the game causing you to have to start all over again.
The Create a Player option doesn't have separate options for the first and last names.
The game doesn't show a nickname for any of the kids.
You can't view any statistics, awards, or the schedule or anything during the middle of a game in season mode except for your team defensive alignment. The first aformentioned inability also applys to pickup games.
You can’t make a custom player be a switch hitter.
