Reception

The game received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. [2] Next Generation said that the game "swings for the fences, but falls short. It doesn't do anything truly innovative, and it needed to in order to make up for some of the more annoying features of the game. It's still a fun game, but not the leader of the pack." [12] Kraig Kujawa of Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine said, "If you're a die-hard fan of the MLB series, then MLB 2000 is worth picking up since it offers more of exactly the same. But if you have last year's MLB or no baseball game at all, then pick up EA's Triple Play 2000 . It's better, and [it] has taken better advantage of its time in the off-season." [13]
