Franchise - Time to put on your general manager’s hat.
In Franchise Mode you will guide your team from season to
season. Players will retire, free agents will need to be signed,
and new players will have to come up through the system.

of the American and National Leagues. Set up a competition
between one to eight players at the ballpark of your choice.
Each of you will have a certain amount of pitches (5, 10,or 20)
to hit and only the ones that leave the yard count.
Options - Customize the way you want to play World Series
Baseball prior to the first pitch with this menu. Press the
A button to cycle forward through an option selection, press
the B button to cycle backward.
BATTER UP
Before you can score any runs you’ll have to get on base.
So grab your favorite piece of lumber and step up to the plate.
Use the left thumbstick (or the D-pad) to change the plane of
your swing. If the pitch is up in the zone and to the outer half
of the plate, press the stick up and away from the hitter when
you swing. You will see a small aim indicator move around the
hitting zone, the center of this indicator is where your optimum
point of contact is. If your aim indicator lines up with the pitch,
and if you press the A button to time your swing perfectly,
you’ll have your best chance to drive the ball deep.
