Trivia
- The game features a
really bizarre, nifty, and somewhat exploitable option in the
in-game menu. If you pause the game, you can automatically change
the stadium you're playing in. You can do this at will, between
pitches, on every batter, offense or defense. Which means you could
choose the smallest stadium on your at bats, and then chuck up the
Green Monster for your opposition.
- From the moment the
disc begins to load the opening credits and menus, there is constant
crowd cheering. Perhaps a subtle and subliminal way of Sony cheering
you on for buying the game?
- MLB Pennant Race
provides amazing camera angle options, which are customizable to
'flip' sides when you do. Meaning if you so chose, you could be
behind the batter on offense, and behind the pitcher on defense.
Even more proof of how well thought out this option is how the
action buttons flip as well. Square, Circle, X, and Triangle act as
your base throwing buttons: If you're in offensive (Batter) view, X
is home plate and Circle is First, etc. If you're on defense view
(Pitcher), Triangle is now Home and Square is first. This way you're
always 'facing' the right direction.
