Query: This game is like the Cubs, "Wait till next year".

Next year is all we can hope for, because All-Star baseball 2002 is an absolutly [bad] showing from Acclaim. The 2001 version for the N64 was much better. If I was Acclaim I would have used the: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" slogan, but they tried to make a good thing better and destroyed it. The biggest problem of this game is the ammount of time it takes to play a game. Do you have an hour to an hour and a half to kill? Then play this game. My suggestion: Wait for All-Star Baseball 2003.
