Computer to computer and computer to human trades can be turned on or off and there will be free agents available that you can sign to your team. They can also be used in something called the Season Store, where you can purchase such things as new stadiums, old time players to add to your lineup, or increases in your team's physical attributes. Points are allocated to draft choices during the draft and for making trades during the season. Triple Play 2001 includes a points cap which is used to simulate a monetary system, but with a twist. Games can be simulated or played during the season, but you have to click on each individual game to sim or play it (no simming days, weeks, months, or season option). You set the number of games, the playoff format, difficulty, and game innings. Seasons can be set up using the rosters in the game or you can conduct a draft. Season mode is limited to 15, 30, 60, or 162 games, and there is no multi-season career format. Take your cuts with Mel Ott, Mike Schmidt, Reggie Jackson, and of course, The Babe, amongst others. Another home run derby called Home Run Legends lets you watch or participate in a home run contest with the Baseball Hall of Fame's members of the 500 home run club. Extreme Big League Challenge adds a twist to the derby by putting up targets that can be hit for extra points. This is a home run derby that can be played as either a tournament or a one-on-one competition. Also included is something called the Big League Challenge. Triple Play 2001 is a baseball game that gives you the option of playing a single game, season, or the playoffs. The ultimate Triple Play 2001 judge is the fun factor. Although every baseball bone in my body screams every time I play fantasy sports titles, I must put aside my own dislike for these types of games in order to judge whether or not the arcade fan would find them enjoyable. It is through this lens that I judge Triple Play 2001.
Not much substance, but there should be plenty of fluff in this type of game. These fantasy baseball games are created as arcade games in the purest sense and have that "putting a quarter in a videogame" feel about them. The general idea behind everything is providing a game that a player can sit down and play without worrying about all of the precision and accuracy of baseball simulations. The primary concern isn't baseball accuracy. These include power-ups and other such arcade trappings to generate new twists on what (the developers believe) can be very long baseball games and seasons.
So they devote a lot of time to adding "fun" by introducing fantasy elements. Developers of such titles believe the premise that baseball as presented on the PC is an inherently boring game. These are games that resemble baseball only loosely and place great emphasis on things that have nothing to do with the real life sport.
