Hardball 3 ( or 4? Forget) Loved it. They got the dynamics of spin off the bat correct, maybe the first ones to do so. Seeing a opposite field single curve off the bat and dive into the grass was a huge deal.
I had had Tino Martinez at first, Edgar Martinez at 3rd and they were both “glitches” in the game. Bat them 3/4 and profit.

I must have put 1000 hours into baseball stars. One of the first games to track season stats. Winning games and upgrading your players stats was addictive, and I play the show all these years later for many of the same reasons. Beating the Lovely Ladies 500 times to earn upgrade points is the clear spiritual ancestor of Conquest mode.
Look out for the World Powers tho!
Hahahaha beating the lovely ladies 500 times with two controllers and having their pitcher bean you 13 times!! Haha that was the original baseball grind

This is why I love The Show 2020.
Let.em know.. My 1st system was coleco vision.. I used to think Tony LaRussas baseball was ahead of its time. Sports Talk baseball was reallynthe jumping off point for me.The Show 19 and ego is why I decided to get a PS4.. Show nails the game imo while taking into.consideration its a baseball game and a game point blank that doesnt require the youngbucks who still cant wipe their [censored] right to drop mad loot to compete..Look at Madden and 2k..They dont even drop content a 3rd of what SDS does with the show..They want to complain about perfect perfect w/ no launch angle and wonder why they didnt hit a hr. Also getting squeezed bybtrash umps..Wide an NorthSouth friendly umps out there as well.Love realistic fun competitve baseball games like I love baseball and theYanks as well.. Great post.. Yo another flashback. I was the whiteowl head out the crew in the era of dutchies as we talked about.Anyway was mad hype when the grape whiteowls hitnthe market.At least BK wise. Gotta be around 96.. Glaciers of Ice and Illmatic was def getting bumped in my Sony sportsman big yellow jump.off.
Agreed with everything you wrote. Especially the peach.

if we are going way back lets go Ken Griffey Jr's Winning Run on SNES
Way back is Colecovision, son. SNES is like “the new thing”.
thanks dad ?
SNES is still 25 yrs old we dont have to go back to the stone age here "yeah back in my day we had no baseball, we just had a big stone wheel"
Was talking about NES, 35 years old. And I said nothing about a stone wheel. Be nice.

Little League World Series: Championship Series on NES is still one of the best Baseball games I've played.
Remember how nasty Chinese Tai pe was?? Bunch of fast asians with some short fat ramen bowl power hitters?? Lol Gameplay was no joke and smooth.Especially for then!!!
They were certainly a top team. I always felt Team Canada was the best team with the amount of Power Hitters in their lineup. They had a lot of speed as well as their fielders all had great arms.
Usually when I played with friends we had to ban Canada from being selected for a more competitive game.

It’s truly amazing how good SNK baseball stars is

Whole post and thread made me smile.Deff right about Canada though.. Look young and feel young..You too eh?? (LameO Canada reference for the tykes)

Shout out to the people that made technology better. Not really a case for how this game is any less terrible.
The looks is the only redeeming quality of the game and that probably has nothing to do with anybody working on the game now.

I used to play every baseball game from my cousins Atari, to my friends Colecovision, through all the NES iterations, and Sega games. My favorites would probably be
Bases Loaded (I had a notebook that I kept stats for the players for multiple seasons. Utah with Agua, Lemon, and Moran at the plate, and Quinta closing out games)
Tony Larussa baseball (bring back that fielding!)
Hardball IV (I think?) (It had the ability to alter players, uniforms, and attributes.) -
Ken Griffey Jr. on the N64 is the GOAT

Peter and Albert were huge HR threats and then you could sub in Mickey and Floyd to give your team even more power.I also forgot their pitcher was also Skill 5 so they were great top to bottom.
