A text box along the side of the screen records the action and notifies you when relievers are warm and when the other team substitutes players. You can check your bullpen and see who's coming up next from the opposition and where you are in the line-up. This game has every option you can imagine, from making trades to drafting new players to controlling every aspect of each game you manage. Or what if those perennial underachievers, the Seattle Mariners, lived up to their potential and went all the way with Ken Griffey's bat and Randy Johnson's arm?
If you're a true fan, you've probably wondered what it would be like if Sammy Sosa overtook Mark McGwire for the 1998 home run crown or if the San Diego Padres shocked the New York Yankees and beat them in the World Series. Your players begin to develop histories and soon you have your own National League and American League which diverge from their real life 1997 counterparts and take on lives of their own. You play an entire season's schedule, including the playoffs, and then you can move on to next year by using the career play feature in the game. You play some exhibition games, figure out who stays and who goes and move on to the regular season. You start in spring training and get your roster together.
If, however, you just love the look, feel and sound of the game and would love to act as manager, this one's for you.
If you just want a pure arcade game, you'd be better off passing this one by and going for one like Electronic Arts' Triple Play. Sierra On-Line's Front Page Sports: Baseball Pro '98 is a great game for the true baseball enthusiast.
