At times you could hear a pin drop in the Dome. It seems like Acclaim decided to mike my Houston brethren for ASB 2001. The crowd is dead except on hits or strikeouts. There's no building rumble as you rally from behind nor is there heckling of the players. Acclaim did do a fine job with the sounds of the ball and bat.
Players have a grinding sound when they make slides and thuds when diving for balls in the outfield.
Balls bouncing off the outfield walls have a realistic sound to them. And pitches whizz by with a brush of air. I sometimes wonder if Nintendo designed their controller with baseball in mind. The C buttons are set up perfectly for baseball games, and as usual they point to the bases. The game utilizes every button on the controller for both offense and defense.
