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, and it s done well enough that you re not searching for a way to shut him up. Sadly, there is no banter between the two. Oh well, maybe next year. The remaining sounds of the game are holdovers from 2001.
Crowds react intelligently to the action on the field, and hecklers can be heard from time to time.
Another glitch requiring a patch is that they can get caught in an infinite loop, so you ll hear them endlessly for the remainder of the game. The stadium announcer is the same as last year, as well. 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.
