  • Summary: Sega Sports™ World Series® Baseball 2K3 spent the off-season improving what was already the best baseball franchise by adding ESPN broadcast presentation, more classic uniforms for every team, historical ballparks, player-specific batting stances and pitching styles for Hall of Fame legends, and more. This year, World Series Baseball 2K3 is in a league of its own! Expand

    Whether you want to build a major league franchise or just play two with your favorite team, competing in a complete game of Xbox baseball couldn't be easier or more fun.
  2. In the latest edition, crushing those 500-foot homers is still possible, but not nearly as fun as flashing the leather: Even a routine double play is elevated into breathtaking spectacle. [2 May 2003, p.79]
  3. It comes with endless options and modes that are sure to keep you busy for hours and hours. With the Franchise mode alone, you could still be playing it in ten years with an unbelievable winning streak and setting new all-time records.
  4. Terrible batting collision and awkward fielding control are just a couple of things keeping Sega's hardball title from getting into the majors. [Apr 2003, p.70]

    WSB for the Xbox last season was a really good game w/ a few pot holes. Visual Concepts & Blue Shift filled every pot hole and then some in WSB2K3. The game plays so smooth it hard to complain about anything. If you're having trouble w/ something you can either adjust it or turn it off or on. It's the best looking and the best playing baseball game out there. It may not have all the little things some of these other baseball games have but the amount of stuff missing between all the games are so small you wouldn't miss it anyway. It has one thing all the other games are missing the ESPN license. The best in sports videogames and the world wide leader in sports = sports gaming heaven. Don't bother w/ the rest when you could be playing w/ the best WSB2K3. Expand

    I think that this game is mad hot but the base runners aren't as good as i thought it was going to be.

    I have not played a better baseball game in my lifel and I have played just about all since the days of Tony La Russa Baseball for the Sega - Genesis. This game is beautiful (eye candy is always a must for sport-simulation). The gameplay and control is out of this world. Franchise is great, even better than lastyear's. The only thing I don't like about the game is the power swing option. When Barry Bonds comes to the plate he does not choses between a power and a contact swing. Expand

    Realistic simulation but wish the players looked more true to life!
