About this product

Product Information

MLB SlugFest 20-03 is Midway's first crack at the national pastime after releasing arcade-style takes on basketball, football, hockey, and soccer. As the title implies, action is designed to be a big part of the game, with pitchers having the option to throw bean balls at batters and exaggerated animations used to portray collisions, turbo throws, and leaps defying the laws of gravity. While the action may be unrealistic, the game does feature an official Major League Baseball license for authentic teams and stadiums.

The action is viewed from a traditional perspective looking through the eyes of the catcher, with the camera switching to either the diamond or outfield once the ball is put into play. Pitching involves selecting one of four pitches and then its location before carrying out the throw. Hitting uses a timing-based system with options for a more powerful swing, bunt, and to have a base runner steal. What sets SlugFest apart from typical baseball games is the ability to use turbo while at the plate, on the mound, and in the field.

Pressing turbo while swinging the bat increases the power of the swing, while throwing a pitch with turbo increases its velocity and break. In the field, players can make stronger throws and run faster. While on the base paths, players can also use turbo to drop kick fielders looking to tag them or take them out with hard slides. Conversely, infielders can apply hard tags to runners to diminish a portion of their turbo. Each player in Slugfest is rated from 1-10 in power, speed, and batting ability, which influences more than just their ability with the bat.

A runner with a high rating in power, for example, is more likely to cause an infielder to bobble the ball after a hard slide or scuffle. These ratings can be diminished if a pitcher throws a bean ball at the batter, which is a selectable option on the pitch type menu. The result of a hit batsman may hinder or help a player, as a portion of the ratings may go down or up depending on whether the batter is hurt or enraged. Game modes include a 52-game Season, a 30-game Challenge, a four- or eight-game Tournament, and a single game of Quickplay.

MLB SlugFest 2003 Total Package
Sony Playstation's MLB Slugfest 2003 is a fairly good imitation of the real thing. The game allow you a reasonable amount of control over the players. The batter can choose between a regular or a power swing. I like the fact that the hitting is not computer assisted as in some other games. The pitcher can choose between a variety of pitches. fastball, curve, slider, knuckle ball or bean the hitter intentionally. The animated reactions of beaned batters add of touch of realism. But there is vast room for improvement for the outfielders. When chasing down a hit baseball, the outfielder move entirely too slow. A Turtoise could outrun them even if it gave the outfielders a headstart while munching on Turtoise fodder. Even with the assisted Turbo feature, the running speed of the outfielders leave a lot to be desired. Also controlling the direction of the throw to bases needs improvement. Too often a intended pick off throw to fist base will wind up arriving at home or third base instead. Another point is that there isn't any drop off or reduction in the game skill level choice when playing against the computer. The Rookie level is just as hard to beat as the Pro level. All and all though, despite these shortcomings,it is a fairly entertaining baseball game.Read full review

I own every version of midways intense hitting sports series. It's what competitive people dream of doing in real life. From Redcard (MLS) to Blitz (NFL) to NHL Hitz all of these games are awesome. In slugfest you can throw a ball at a batter and hit him in the feet and it'll lower his speed so he wont think twice about stealing a base. However if your that same batter you can punch the first baseman in the nuts and he'll drop the ball for you to take-off and steal second! Even better if the pitcher keeps hitting your guys and doesnt realize that one of them is smoking and then hits him with the ball your batter rushes the mound and beats the S%@T out of him. The game is also incredibly balanced. The fielders are slow because it is hard to hit the ball, but once your on base it's very easy to get home. You can steal a base mid pitch and KO the guy who's trying to tag you out. I've got numerous in the park home runs against the computer and competitive friends alike. It's all about Timing and how much you use your turbo. They not only have real teams in the game but other wierd themed teams. So you could be jump kicking a dolphin in the face as you fly around the bases with flames streaming off your back.Read full review

Beware
Definitely got a used game resealed to look brand new. When I first got the package, it look pretty suspicious, so I decided to just open the game anyways and look. And of course it had a worn out used game manual and hair inside
