Overview
Description

Baseball Stars 2 builds on the beloved original, letting you create and manage a full season of up to 125 games across six teams. The game tracks detailed statistics like home runs, RBIs, ERA, and saves, giving a true‑to‑life baseball experience on PC. With new batting stances, enhanced pitch control, and customizable field formations, players can fine‑tune their strategy both on the mound and at the plate. The 15‑point upgrade system lets you develop your roster over time, while single‑player, multiplayer, and co‑op modes keep the action fresh.

Major League Baseball is an action baseball game for two players that follows most professional baseball rules. You can control every player on the team, throw a variety of pitches, steal bases, bunt, and aim for home runs. The game offers several difficulty levels that affect game speed and base‑stealing rules, and ties are resolved with extra innings. It captures the feel of traditional tabletop baseball in a digital format.
