There are four modes of games available.
*"Exhibition" - One game of baseball. The player can choose two teams from the MLB, one which he/she plays as and one team played by the computer. The player can choose the amount of innings in the match as well as other factors.
*"Season" - The player chooses one team and plays one season of baseball within the game controlling that team. The season is supposed to be2001 , and the draw of every team as well as the All-Star Game is matched up exactly with each team's draw during the 2001 season. Also, in season mode, records set in beaseball history for seasons and single games are listed, and if the player's team breaks one, the new record is listed as being set in 2001. If the player's team end up in the top 4, it will go to the playoffs to theWorld Series .
