The fielding is the only aspect of that could still use some work. Otherwise, this is as good as digital baseball gets. [Apr 2002, p.76]
-
89By far ASB's best feature, and the one that makes it stand out this year above the others is Franchise Mode...the best baseball Franchise Mode on any console to date.
-
The game just looks fantastic...a great game, but not an excellent representation of baseball.
-
One of the neatest oddities in any baseball game to date. Acclaim have included an official in-game Donruss player trading card mode, which allows players to unlock cheats, simply amass a collection of cards, or even trade them!
-
86All-Star Baseball 2003 has High Heat 2003 licked where graphics are concerned, and the inclusion of the franchise mode makes Acclaim's hardball simulation all the more enticing--[but] you can't go wrong buying either one.
-
85The game's biggest draw just happens to be the pitching action which was designed so simple that its actually a blast.
-
85ASB 2003, which features some of the best baseball graphics the console world has ever seen, offers decent game play, reasonable AI, and a robust Franchise Mode.
-
No doubt, the batting mechanics are complex and the franchise mode a bit hard to get a handle on, but this is console baseball at its best.
-
80The best installment in the series, with only a few minor issues keeping it below 3DO's stellar "High Heat Baseball 2003".
-
80It's a more in-depth game than High Heat, which is why All Star moves slower and the games seem longer.
-
The gameplay really hampers the overall score of the game and probably prevents it from achieving what it is capable of.
-
With this game a 100-mph fastball feels like its coming in at 380...The ball comes in too fast. [May 2002, p.99]
-
60A step down from the audio and visuals, unfortunately, is the gameplay. The No. 1 culprit has to be the frustrating batting mechanics.
-
60The gameplay bugs are so bad at times it almost makes up for all the great things about the game.
-
Batting on the other hand, is about as much fun as chewing glass. Youd basically need the reactions of a Jedi Knight to be able to rack up a decent hit ratio.

TysonB.7All star baseball 2003 has the exactly the same features as in All star baseball 2002. I want some new features and gameplay.
