Triple Play Gold

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Triple Play series (2 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    EA Sports
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Sports (baseball)
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          EA's second go at a Genesis baseball sim takes the MLBPA
                  engine, refines it to the point of excellence, adds new
                  graphics and sound, and updates the player rosters.  The
                  successor to the Toni LaRussa YACEG series.

IMPRESSIONS:      Once again, EA Sports strikes gold in this excellent
                  baseball sim.  The graphics are a bit chunky and jerky at
                  times, but the excellent sound and graphics more than
                  make up for this oversight.  Hey, it's from EA Sports -
                  need I say more?  The last entry is considered by most
                  G/MD fans as one of the top five baseball sims for the
                  platform.

VARIATIONS:       Triple Play 96 (1995)
                  Triple Play Gold (1996, aka Triple Play 97)

I live in San Mateo and when I got my Genesis with Madden I noticed that EA was also based in San Mateo CA so I got on their mailing list. To make a long story short I ended up being asked to try out some of their new games back in 93 "one of those consumer consultant things. I jumped at it because I wanted to check out where these great games were coming from, it wasn't for the money because all I got was a five dollar off coupon on my next purchase. After playing the lattest version of Madden my attention turned to baseball "When you guys gonna come out with a great basball game". He told me Baseball is the hardest sport game to do. I am a Baseball fanatic, and I have played this game and honestly this was not a good baseball game. The Graphics are far supperior too any other Baseball game, it looks better than any other baseball game. But the playability was not good on the Sega Genesis. Honestly I had more fun playing Tony Larrusa Baseball than I had playing this game. I will say that Triple Play 97 and 98 on the playstation is still the best baseball game ever created for any game platform to this day 08/30/02.Overall there really was'nt a great Basball game ever created for the Genesis. Alot of people talk about World Series Basball that was OK. I would probably go with Tony Larrusa By EA as their best basball title.

graphics are good but the gameplay is terrible. players don`t play there postitions properly, baserunning speed is off, fielding fly outs is a pain, the hitting tendencys are basicly random, i could go on and on.

Tony La Russa and World Series are better games. i have to give TLB the edge. it does a great job at simulating baseball strategy and the above problems i listed don`t exist in TLB nor in WSB.

Triple Play 96 is a good game. It has a lot of pitches (12 in all I think). The control is good, and it's not too hard to base run or hit. I recomend this if you like baseball or any sport games.
