Moreover, there is an option which enables you to create new players, to change their attributes and to put them in your favorite team. But you can't save these players so you have to recreated them all over if you want them again. You can change several options before the match, like the speed of the game, the difficulty and even the temperature. When we play, Triple Play goes sometimes too quickly and other times, it is too slow. It is too slow before each ball is pitched by the pitcher since you must wait until the player has finished his movements. And when the player hits the ball, the play is too quickly, you don't have really time to see the ball going.
Strike three, you're out! |
 Ouch! that's gotta hurt! Sometimes the game slowed down and it is more difficult to play. The computer is very difficult to beat, especially in more difficult levels. The players in the field are hard to control and it is difficult to catch the ball while diving.Some times, the defensives plays are not realist, as when a player waits to catch a "fly", he doesn't seem ready to catch the ball. What makes the force of this Triple Play is the sound and the music. When the team is home, there is music before each player goes to bat, as in a true match and when you strike an home run, the crowd screams during a few moments. The advertiser says even the name of all the players! When the other team starts to take a lead, some spectators encourage you or tell you silly things. Then, the graphics of this game are excellent and animations are generally successful. It's very easy to hit the ball and you can hit it the way you want it.
