''Triple Play 97'' is an adaptation of ''Virtual Stadium'' for the U.S. market and PlayStation console, with the same game design and some shared art and sound assets. The game includes all 28 Major League Baseball parks, 3D-modeled and with slick intro cinematics for each showing the camera flying down into the park from above. | ||
Any pitcher can throw any of the game’s ten pitches: “Slow” fastball, fastball, Changeup, curveball, screwball, slider, sinker, splitfinger, knuckleball, or pitchout. Each pitcher has different ratings for each pitch. Hitters can choose an open, closed, or normal stance before each pitch then make a normal swing, power swing, or bunt. Holding the D-pad in a direction will influence the ball to be hit in that direction (for instance, holding Up makes a flyball more likely, and left will hit the ball to the batter’s left). | Any pitcher can throw any of the game’s ten pitches: “Slow” fastball, fastball, Changeup, curveball, screwball, slider, sinker, splitfinger, knuckleball, or pitchout.
