Fucking hell, /v/, I started up this game for nostalgia's sake and I just can't get a goddamn run in.
I even have both Pablo and Pete, but they've been doing jackshit for me. Pablo gets nothing but fly balls and Wheeler keeps tripping with his baserunning.
What's the Backyard Baseball metagame like these days? I've been keeping the AI (on Hard) locked down with Angela's Left/Right hooks, but they have Dante and Vicki who can pull off cheesy speedrunning BS on me.
Halp, it's only a matter of time before the AI fucks me.
Come on, I know there are some pro BYB players who lurk here, I need the advice!
14 INNINGS OF THIS SHIT. I WANT TO GET OFF MR. PABLO'S WILD RIDE.
I haven't gotten a single batting power-up yet. Should I just play it safe until I get an Aluminum Power?
BASED FUCKING JOCINDA SMITH IN THE 19TH INNING HORY SHET.
Can't remember much but I loved this series going up, played more basketball but baseball was great too. Shame it doesn't run well on modern systems, would buy a working re-release, perhaps with multiplayer.

I got it to run pretty flawlessly using ScummVM. Luckily I kept the CD for the past ~19 years.
At long last, I have emerged victorious from this atrocity of a baseball game.
Shout out to Angela Delvecchio for pitching the entire fucking game and getting 29 strikeouts. Hardly even used the power-up pitches.
I have to say this game holds up pretty well. It's not overly-simplistic, but not Dwarf Fortress levels of complexity.
Oh and fuck Reese Worthington, that smug little asthmatic shithead. Can't hit or field worth shit.

You gotta go for the intimidation factor in this game. Psychological warfare. Who gets scared of a team named the "Socks"?
The Mighty Bombers with the Dark Grey palette just screams "You are going to get blown the fuck out and there's nothing you can do about it."

I always picked socks because I thought it made you run faster. Wheeler 2gud

Naw, if you want speed you go for the rockets.
Socks symbolize Dmitri who is a trash-tier pick.
