Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball Overview
Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball is a sports simulation featuring the professional athlete's endorsement and early use of motion capture technology for its three dimensional player animations. The game includes multiple stadiums, each with unique visual characteristics rendered in three dimensions.
Gameplay involves selecting pitchers and batters according to their statistical profiles. Pitching offers control over the type of throw, such as fastballs or curveballs, and allows for adjustments to the ball's speed and vertical placement. Defensive play can be managed automatically by the computer, which is suggested for new players, though manual settings for infield and outfield positioning are available.
Several modes of play are offered beyond standard matches. These encompass a full season progression with playoffs, a dedicated Home Run Derby for scoring points, and simpler exhibition games. The overall experience can be considered fair, providing options for both casual and more involved play sessions.
