Each lends the game a unique setting, much like the real ones. Fenway Park is old and sort of plain, but still distinguished by the Green Monster and short porch in right. Yankee Stadium carries the same majestic air here that the real thing pulls off in the Bronx every summer. Play a night game at Wrigley Field and you feel the same sort of spooky awe that you get watching that legendary park lit up on television. Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix is space-age yet still homey, as is SkyDome in Toronto, and even Olympic Stadium in Montreal.
Some parks even feature unique special touches.
If the Mets knock one out of Shea Stadium you get to watch that big red apple rise above the center field fence. Ewing Kauffman in Kansas City features a working waterfall beyond the fences. The Bronx Zoo, Ewing Kauffman, and Olympic Stadium. Player graphics rank up there with the most realistic figures ever drawn for a PC game. Each wears an approximation of his real life counterpart's face, and some of these likenesses are almost photo realistic at certain angles.
