Choose a favorite team and guide its players all the way to the World Series in this rendition of America's favorite pastime. Well over a dozen Major League ballplayers were consulted to help create the most realistic artificial intelligence possible. MLB 2002 features more than 300 motion-captured animations, and the athletes are modeled after their real-life counterparts. Over 250 signature moves add to the game's realism by making the virtual players easily recognizable to their gaming fans.

MLB 2002 offers eight styles of play, including a full season, playoffs, and even a franchise mode that lets you work the team from a more strategic, front-office vantage point. All real-life Major League Baseball players and teams are represented with stats and ratings based on the 2001 season. Games take place in virtual recreations of authentic stadiums, and Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully calls the plays while veteran sports analyst Dave Campbell supplies color commentary.

Features:
Master the game's "total control" fielding, pitching, and batting interfaces
Compete in eight play modes, from the Home Run Derby to Spring Training
Features commentary from real-life broadcasters Vin Scully and Dave Campbell
