Triple Play (1995-2001)
The Triple Play series was published by EA Sports until their replacement by the MVP Baseball in 2003. This game is also the only to feature left fielder Barry Bonds in all of its installments, which is rare since he is not in the MLB player’s union. Game modes include exhibition, series play, all-star playoffs, and full and partial season play. Players also sustain injuries and go on hot and cold streaks. Beginning in ’99, game commentary was supplied by Jim Hughson and Buck Martinez. Beginning in 2000, Internet play on the PC was supported. A world tournament was added the following year. In 2002, 3D graphics were dramatically improved and voice commentary moved to Bob Costas and Harold Reynolds.
