Criticizing This Game is Pointless [Posted on 2000-11-23]
I see all these reviews where people are criticizing this game. This is BY FAR the best PC baseball game ever made. The graphics are exellent, and you really get interactive with it. This game is really easy to work with and is the best of all the triple play games ever made. EA Sports created something really good. Perfect to own!!!!!!

Good but some flaws [Posted on 2001-01-12]
I have experieced that TP2001 is a great game. I have TP97-2001, it seems that 2001 is the best version there is. However, there are some flaws. The baserunning is difficult. Almost impossible. The computer seems to throw at the base all day. In one game, the computer threw 28 times in a row to first base. What kind of system error is that? Another one is that you cannot advance just the first base runner, when you have a guy at third. For some reason, the runner on third will come home. Hmm... another error? Well, on the bright side, the game graphics and the hitting stands are nice. Major improvement from 2000 version.

Disappointment: When will they post roster updates?

Other games like Harball 5 had roste updates, why won't EA sports do the same? ???

Very UNREALISTIC [Posted on 2001-03-06]
I'm a huge baseball fan and enjoy playing baseball games on my pc. I'm also a purist and don't like to see unrealistic aspects of sports games. But that is exactly what TP2001 is, very unrealistic to actual major league baseball. Here are some examples,

* When your team builds a lead, the cpu team will get the runs back, GUARANTEED. I was never able to keep a lead. They can lay down a bunt straight to the pitcher and still outrun the throw (meaning the batter has to run about 30 mph to beat the throw). Also, it is more difficult for your pitcher because the cpu batters will hit homeruns more often when behind in order to regain the lead. It doesn't matter how you pitch, one mistake, and the cpu batter goes yard. A cpu PITCHER hit a 600 ft. home run to tie the game. UNREALISTIC!!! These things are impossible in major league baseball.

* Errors are too scattered when that mode is on. A player may commit multiple errors in one inning, but for the next several games, he will play perfect ball.

* You can earn "rewards" during a season where you can use very long bats, or have players with big heads. Give me a break.

* It is difficult to control baserunning after hits. Sometimes the computer will automatically advance baserunners when it is not appropriate, and you may not be able to reverse the runner.

On the plus side, the graphics are excellent, and the other features, like home run contest are interesting. But the actual game is not worth it.

If you are like me, and want to buy a purely realistic baseball game, this is NOT it.

Simply the best! (of its time) [Posted on 2001-03-09]
This game is the best! But now TPB will overtake it. But it can, TPB is just the 2002 edition of this game. If u want to get this game, get it i cant stop you, but for a newer game get TPB. I am not saying the TP2K1 is bad, but TPB is better because it is better, so if you like to have up-to-date things get TPB!!!

Translations! TPB=Triple Play Baseball TP2K1= Triple Play 2001 (thought that might be helpful!)
