MLB 2001

About

MLB 2001 brings baseball to the PlayStation with straightforward controls and a focus on authentic gameplay. Take the field with licensed teams and players, working through innings with standard batting mechanics and fielding inputs. The single-player mode offers a season-long grind while split-screen lets two players go head to head in the same room. Commentary from Vin Scully and Dave Campbell adds a familiar voice to each play. The game stands out for its smooth local multiplayer and recognizable presentation. Chipper Jones of the Atlanta Braves appears on the cover, and the inclusion of real league rosters helps it feel current for its era. While later baseball titles expanded with deeper modes and visuals, this 2000 release delivers solid fundamentals for a straightforward sports sim.
