Product Information
Accolade's HardBall 5 comes to the PC with a full MLBPA license. Based on the 1994 baseball season, the license gives players over 800 actual players, all of the major league teams (in addition to 12 of the all-time greatest dynasties), and 40 different stadiums modeled after their real-life counterparts.<br><br>Gameplay options include League Play, Batting Practice, Exhibition Game, Pitching Practice, and the Home Run Derby. Exhibition matches are single-player games in which two teams compete for fun and/or practice. Batting and Pitching Practices are essential to any new HardBall 5 players. They'll get you used to controlling the action, judging ball trajectories, and selecting pitches.<br><br>In League Play, players are given the option to play a shortened or full-length season (162 games) using their favorite team. As the team's manager you'll set player lineups, judge which hitters would be better against a right-handed pitcher, make substitutions, and send the runner home after a deep fly ball to right field!<br><br>In Home Run Derby players compete against a variety of computer-controlled opponents or another human opponent. The idea is to hit more home runs than your competitors.<br><br>HardBall 5 features ten different skill levels and play-by-play commentary courtesy of Al Michaels. Season progress and various statistics can be saved via Memory Card.Product Identifiers
