About this game
Bad News Baseball combines on-field baseball with player selection. Compare pitchers and fielders before choosing a team, or assemble an all-star lineup. Play a tournament against the computer or a series against another player. A pitcher’s stamina affects speed and breaking balls, making continued use a decision. Close plays and home runs receive enlarged scenes, which can be skipped. Passwords let a completed game become a stopping point before returning to the series.
