Game Modes | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* Here are all of the different game modes available in All-Star Baseball 2004. *------------------------------* | Single Player: | *------------------------------* Single Player has seven game modes inside it: *------------------------------* | Quick Game: | *------------------------------* Two teams are selected randomly by the CPU for a one game match. You can then select between one of the two teams that the CPU has randomly chosen for you. You can then go into the options menu and select the difficulty setting that is best for you. *------------------------------* | Exhibition: | *------------------------------* This option is very similar to the Quick Game option. The difference with Exhibition is that you can select the two teams that will be playing. Once you have selected the two teams you can then select which team the CPU is and which team you are. You can then go into the options menu and select the difficulty setting that is best for you. *------------------------------* | All-Star Game: | *------------------------------* In this single player option you select whether you want to be the National League or the American League. You also can go into options and choose the difficulty setting right for you and change the time of day to your liking. *------------------------------* | Batting Practice: | *------------------------------* This option is good if you want to practice your batting skills. You can use any batter you want to practice batting with. You can change the difficulty settings, time of day, pitch type, location of pitch, what hand the pitcher uses, and what stadium you are in. *------------------------------* | Home Run Derby: | *------------------------------* This option will show you a list of the top hitters in the game. You can change the difficulty settings, whether you want to be the American League, or National League, the time of day, how many swings/innings, and what stadium you are in. *------------------------------* | Season: | *------------------------------* Here is the option where you can start a season or continue a previously saved season. When you start a new season you can choose how many games the season will have and what team you will be using. Once you have selected those options you can then look at your schedule which will show you every game you have/will play. You can also view the current standings, look at statistics for the top players, and team management. *------------------------------* | World Series: | *------------------------------* From this option you can go straight into a world series. You pick your team and the CPU's team and get ready for a world series. You can go into the options menu and change the difficulty settings as usual. Once you push Start Series you can choose to play the next game, see a summery of the series or look at team statistics for your team and the team you are about to play. *------------------------------* | Multiplayer: | *------------------------------* In this option that you select from the main menu you can link up to a friend with this game via a cable and play each other in a two player game. ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* | 4. Offense | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* As with any sports game you need a good offense to be successful. I will give you a few tips to ensure that you have a good offense. *------------------------------* | Batting: | *------------------------------* To have good batting skills in this game you have to use the batting curser effectively. You should move the curser once the pitcher releases the ball and once you can see where the ball will go. Then push A and hope you get a great hit. *------------------------------* | Bunting: | *------------------------------* When you are in the situation where you feel like bunting you should push and hold the B button to bunt. Tell the base-runners to advance before you bunt so they don't get thrown out! *------------------------------* | Base-running: | *------------------------------* If used correctly, stealing bases can change the game around from you losing, to you winning. If a runner is on a base that you want to steal, both runners will run. ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* | 5. Defense | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* To win the game, you not only need good offense, but you need good defense. Defense is just as, if not more important than offense. Here are a few pointers for you. *------------------------------* | Fielding: | *------------------------------* Always be aware of where the opposing teams runners are and be ready to throw the ball to the correct base. Run for the ball, don't hesitate, it may cost you an extra run that you could've prevented. *------------------------------* | Pitching: | *------------------------------* Cycle through your pitches and don't pitch in the same spot for to many times in a row. Rotate your pitchers often and make wise pitch selections. ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* | 6.
