Gameplay edit

World Series Baseball consists of many game modes and features. The game modes are Play Now, Season, Franchise, and Create-A-Player. Jason Giambi is on the cover of the game.

Some new features updated from the Dreamcast version is in-depth trading and a 15- and 60-day Disabled List. In the new franchise mode there is a Management Draft, Rookie Draft, and a Free Agent Signing Period. Create-A-Player is also highly updated from the last version.

The online component of the Dreamcast version was brought back online by Shuouma on March 1, 2018 with plans to bring back other Sega sports in the near future as well.[2][3]

Reception edit

The Xbox version received "favorable" reviews, while the Dreamcast version received "average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4][5] Maxim gave the latter console version a negative review, a few weeks before its release Stateside.[25] However, Jim Preston of NextGen called the same console version "A vast improvement over the original with only a few shortcomings to mar the outing."[23] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 25 out of 40.[9]
