Oddly, one of the announcers simply repeats almost all of last year's comments, word for word. The color commentator gives the audio a bit more flavor, but you seldom hear from him. Sadly, there is no banter between the two. Oh well, maybe next year. The remaining sound effects are also holdovers from 2001.
Crowds react intelligently to the action on the field.
Bat sounds vary slightly, depending on the hit. 3DO has managed to capture all the sounds of the ballpark in a way that makes listening to a game enjoyable. Everything you could find in 2001 is still here. Season and Career modes allow you to essentially make your own rules. Team options let you negotiate trades, set pitching rotations, and set batting lineups.
