About this game

Baseball Stars 2 is the sequel to the very successful Baseball Stars game released for Nintendo in the late 1980s. It was released by SNK for Arcade, as well as the Nintendo Entertainment System. Players can create leagues of up to 125 games (6 teams playing each other 25 times) and view statistics such as League Standings, Average, Home Runs, Runs Batted In, Earned Run Average, Wins and Saves. Players can fire players and upgrade them using the same 15-point system introduced in the original Baseball Stars.

The Baseball Stars series set the early benchmark for quality baseball sports games, and introduced a number of features that have become standard in more current sports games, such as managerial control and player creation. Baseball Stars 2 built on this by introducing new batting stances, enhanced pitch control, the ability to alter field formations for enhanced coaching strategies, and a number of other features. Players can create leagues of up to 125 games, with 6 teams. Statistics are tracked over the length of the season, and players can be upgraded over time.
