This game stinks of 1994. Even worse, it stinks of 1994 ESPN. This was before ESPN became Disney-fied and started going Hollywood and got way too big for their own good.
The important thing to know about ESPN, for non-sports fans, is that they don't actually MAKE anything. They repackage shit and sell it as their own. This is perfectly legal in the corporate world, and they add insult to injury by pulling original content made by independent creative minds using packaged material in a way that could be perceived as productive.
Even here, they're just slapping their name on something developed by a company called Park Place and released by Sony, another notorious ripoff company. None of this game is innovative, original, or fun. The only draw is the smooth animation, which was done better and sooner by many other baseball games.
The insultingly basic yet often confusing controls are made that much worse when the gameplay is hideously unbalanced towards scoring. I guess it was the harbinger of the steroid era!
The audio sounds like something out of a text to speech demo, and the intros are done by Chris "I might have invented being gayfat" Berman. The saddest part is that THIS game got to use the licensed team names out of all the other far more deserving titles. I give it my current lowest sports game rating: One Crudely Drawn Penis in Mark May's Mouth.

If there's one pic I'm glad I got moved over before freewebs imploded and betrayed me at the same time, it's the dick one.
