[. . . ] Go head-to-head with someone down the street or someone across the country. The only way to tell is to get out of the clubhouse and on to the field. 2 3 STARTING THE GAME NOTE: Sega SportsTM World Series Baseball 2K2 is a one- to two-player game. Before turning the Dreamcast Power ON, connect the controller(s) or other peripheral equipment into the control ports of the Dreamcast. To return to the title screen at any point during gameplay, simultaneously press and hold the A, B, X, Y, and START buttons. [. . . ] Here's a quick outline of the different types of pitchers you'll have available in your rotation and bullpen: SP = Starting Pitcher - The guy you'll trot out to start the game. A solid starting pitcher should be counted on to give you a strong seven innings or so. LR = Long Reliever - If your starting pitcher gets roughed up in the early going, turn to your long reliever early on to give you anywhere from two to five innings of work. MR = Middle Reliever - These guys usually see action in the sixth or seventh innings, or oftentimes are used to pitch against single batters in lefty-lefty or rightyrighty situations. SU = Set-Up Man - Use these pitchers for an inning or two in the seventh and eighth innings of close games to bridge the gap between the starter and the closer. CL = Closer - If you're nursing a one to three-run lead, bring in this fireballer to work the ninth inning and (hopefully) earn the save. MANAGER'S TIP: PICK-OFF MOVES OK, a runner got on. After selecting the pitch you want to throw, the pitcher will come to the set position. Hold the Analog Stick in the direction of the desired base and press the B Button to make the pick-off throw. For a pitch-out, press the Y Button. 10 11 ADVANCED DEFENSE OK, you know about pitching and defense - what's next?Well, sometimes having your players in the right spot at the right time can make all the difference. Press the Right Trigger to bring up a little menu at the top of the screen. Press the Right Trigger again to change the positioning of your fielders. Infield-Normal Infield-In Infield-Double Play Infield Back Guard Lines Guard Bunt The standard defensive arrangement. Use this defensive alignment when there is a runner on third you want to keep from scoring. Shades the shortstop and the second baseman over so they can turn a faster double play. The infield plays deep - good for defending against the big, slow sluggers. Guard the left and right field lines to prevent extra-base hits in the late innings.
