To add insult to injury, there are still readily apparent jagged edges on many of the images. But this far into the PS 2's life cycle we should be seeing improvement. To be fair, the close-up shots of players are very detailed, and the game's small cut scenes, such as the catcher running off the field after the third out, look great. Fielders move fluidly, and, in a new feature, hurry their throws or not, depending on the game situation. However the distant players look progressively faded and indistinct.
Stadiums are detailed, but their colors generally lack the vibrancy found in High Heat.
The infield grass in particular is little more than a mottled, greenish blur. EA Sports earns kudos for a terrific interface which is simple to learn and easy to use. Triple Play, however, is heavily oriented toward batting and in particular, towering home runs. Even the best pitchers in baseball seem to wilt under the game's offensive onslaught. It's fun, sure, but baseball purists are likely to break out in a chorus of boos.
