Top 5 Best Baseball Video Games
Video games have become a popular hobby for people of all ages, especially college-aged persons, over the past couple of decades. Video games have been edited, modified, changed and completely revamped over the past two decades to look like you are actually sitting at the stadium while you are playing the game instead of seeing block-looking humans running around the screen. A popular category of video games is baseball games because they offer some of the best life-like graphics and updated rosters each year. Here we will discuss the top five best baseball video games of all-time. Hopefully you have had the chance to play a few of them. If not, then get to a video game store right now and check them out.
#5: Ken Griffey, Jr. Presents Major League Baseball: This game was created for Super NES and was released in 1994. The game was created with the help of a Major League Baseball license but without a Major League Baseball Players Association license. This means that the game had real stadiums and real teams but not real players, except for Griffey. The fake players actually had names of famous actors, musicians, other sports players and landmarks. The player of the game could change the names of the baseball players if they so wished.
#4: Super Bases Loaded 3: This is another game created for the Super NES system and was released in 1995. This game, although fun to play, was also difficult to play when your team was on defense. The player could choose between manual defense and automatic defense. If you chose manual you would have to get to the ball yourself and most of the time your outfielder was off-screen, making it difficult to catch the ball.
#3: Triple Play Baseball featuring Jason Giambi: Giambi made his debut on the cover of the only game in the series that did not have a year attached to it. The 2001 season had Mike Piazza on the cover and the 2002 season had Luis Gonzalez on the cover. Giambi’s version was sandwiched in between the two. This game was released for PlayStation 2 and was one of the first baseball games to have life-like graphics along with the names of real Major League players.
#2: Major League Baseball 2K8: Along with 2K8, the entire series of baseball games has some of the most comprehensive real-life rosters and graphics offered in video games these days. This game was released for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Wii and Xbox 360. The 2K8 game features Jose Reyes of the Mets on the cover and features play-by-play and color commentary from Jon Miller and Joe Morgan of ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. Steve Physioc and Jeanne Zelasko continue their reporting throughout the game play.
#1: MLB 09 The Show: This game features Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox on the cover and was released prior to the 2009 baseball season. This installment of the popular video game series features possibly the best game play graphics of any game in the series and possibly of any baseball game to date. The game was released for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PSP only.
